    Seen a bit of Kasabian tonight and they were pish, SHM were unreal. Just back, got a bus to Glasgow then taxi home instead of waiting until tomorrow, unbelievable how much of a swamp it is.

    The Stone Roses are pretty famous for being weak live.

    Eninem is and was truely awful live at t in the park. I went to see The Prodigy when he was on and everyone who stayed to see eminem said his antics and performance was embarrassing.

    Beyonce? I seen her set on tv, but again not.what many want to see at a festival.

    I really don't think people don't go to a festival thinking I will see it on tv. Big big difference.
    I do wonder how short they were from selling out this year as ticketmaster bombarded my email with TITP ticket alerts right up to the day before.

    Stone roses aren't weak as a band but Ian brown isn't the best of singers but you were still able to see him live when he went solo at titp a few year ago?

    But eminem is huge over here how many times do you get the chance to see him libe in the uk?

    That was Glastonbury not titp bbc didn't show her live performance at titp.

    People buy them before they even find out whose playing, most people only wanted to go for the stone roses if it was on tv live I doubt less people would have been there.

    From someone that was at Eminem and from someone that doesn't even listen to that type of music never mind like him he was superb.

    That was a view shared by the 15 or so people I was with.

    I had a similar experience this year with pro green I'm not a huge fan of his he only has 1 or 2 good songs but he was * outstanding to see live he was always interacting with the crowd and sounded class live the full crowd was buzzing

    Eminem was great a T. No doubt about it.

    A few of his songs were decent but overall, I thought he was quite poor.

    Was going to see Coldplay last year and there was no one decent on before so went to see Beyonce while we waited. Far from my thing but was still an experience to see her, I'm still of the opinion though that there are too many pop or even hip-hop/RnB acts at T.

    shame to hear about kasabian, didnt see them on the tele, although i went to see them december last year and they were amazing. granted there were a * load of neds who only wanted to hear fire & underdog and jumping about with their tops off but it was still an awesome gig.

    the calvin harris set looked amazing, its the david guetta set that looked *. think some people might be getting them mixed up ..

    hopefully they got something special lined up for next year seeing as its the anniversary, might be willing to fork out for it, but will depend on glasto's lineup. theres just too much chart * creeping up at titp

    I would easily do that all again just for Swedish House Mafia, being in that set was the best experience of my life so far!

    They got a piper and the old pipes out, the full place was blasting out Flower Of Scotland whilst Ingrosso, Angello and Axwell all held out Scotland flags. Was unreal!!

    Other highlights was probably Miles Kane, Maverick Sabre, Calvin Harris and The Enemy.

    Does my * in hearing that all the time. Just because a bunch of lads have had a drink and jump about going mental or only know a couple of songs doesn't make them neds. What makes a festival fun for you? Having a wee sing-song?

    People have a blast in different ways at festivals.

    Just back from T, Swedish House Mafia had the best set of the weekend, no doubt about it! Calvin Harris and Nero were also top notch, I also thought that Example was good too despite everyone hating on him here saying he shouldn't be at T. Spent the majority of the time in the Slam Tent, quality

    I didn't think they were poor, they were OK, I was just a bit underwhelmed as I'd been told they were great and as I said, I thought The Enemy were far better that night.

    All down to personal experience I guess.

    Loved every minute of the full weekend apart from being swamped but still caught; The temper trap, The Cribs, New order, The View, The Wailers, Django Django, The Maccabees, The Courteeners, We were promised Jetpacks, Two Door Cinema Club, Noel Gallagher, The Stone Roses, Bombay Bicycle Club, Frank Turner, Miles Kane, The Enemy and Kasabian.

    Kasabian were very good, but the highlight was the Roses. Amazing to just be there and fair play to Ian Brown basically saying 'FTQ!' haha, guys an absolute hero.

    Had some weekend even though the weather was *. Kicking about the camp site Thursday/Friday night was the best part was absolutely quality.

    Pro Green, Tinie Tempah and Labrinth were all quality on the Friday.

    Didn't get to see anyone on Saturday night an bit gutted I didnt get to see SHM on Sunday. My birds drink got spiked on the Saturday when she was with her mate and I ended up doin the right thing and takin care of her at the tent all night Saturday. Lucky I did, she went unconscious and paramedics had to come and take her off.

    Ate she's ok, was scary as * though. Her mate phoned me saying she had been spiked and was in an A&E tent. I went to one asap but none of the medics could tell me what one she was in and refused to radio the other tents so I went back to the one right next to our tent and tried my luck there. A medic there started radioing around and just by luck I seen my misses bein carried by her 2 pals so I got her back to our tent, cleaned her up then she just started going in and out of consciousness, was honestly horrible. Medics had to come and drag her out the tent and take her off in a stretcher.
