Finally we get there! I hate that trudge from the station to the festival, but all is forgotten as we get into the guest area and there are The Sounds! sitting right there! And look over there - Jo Whiley and Edith Bowman and ... wait a minute. What time is it? I haven't got time to waste gawping at these people back here when the real action is about to start on the other side of the fence… and so we get to my first band of this year's festival; Jimmy Eat World.
So good they're actually playing twice on the Friday but I only have the time to see them this once on the main stage and they were excellent. Hopefully they'll be back after their new album release and I can see them again. They played all my favourites and a couple of new tracks to boot. Fantastic!
A quick refreshment stop and it was time for Maximo Park, lively, catchy and energetic but they seemed to finish in the blink of an eye. There was no time to mourn the apparent shortness of their set however, as it was a dash back into the guest area and into the Eugene from Gogol Bordello to grab some food (we only ran back because the queues were shorter and time was of the essence) before the main event of the day, for us at least; INTERPOL!

Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
Hard-Fi: ilikemusic because... what else is there to like?!
