Head Liners were - Jay z/The Strokes/Paul McCartney
It was crazy I never really thought in a million years I would be going to a music festival AND CAMPING for 4 days! but I did. I went with a few friends (Jonathan,Joey and James) from school and met up with some friends from uni (Molly, Dave and Dave) there as well.
One year to this week, I met some random guy on the train coming from portsmouth (clearning my university house to get that deposit back) he was coming from Glastonbury Festival he was explaining to me how brilliant festivals were he managed to convince I had to do one! remember this is the year I plan to do some crazy stuff (another blog post)
Day 1 - Thursday moving in day
Was crazyyyy, we got on the train from Victoria nice and early but silly me was messying around with my band AND THEN IT BROKEEEE, so we were very worried about me not getting entry because you know how these people can be funny some times but it was sorted out fairly quickly.
when we got to the IOW (isle of wight) IT WAS RAINING HARDDDD! and we had to set up are tents in the rain (LONGNESS) but we did it, I was happy with my tent from tesco 20 quid nice and cheap :D
then we went to buy some booze only problem was transporting the booze from the minicab to are camp site :O (even longerrr) but we did it.
Only one act was performing on the thursday which I wasn't really interested in but never the less I went to see they were ok.
I only just remembered I could take photos with my blackberry so I went a bit photo crazyyyy
Check out the photos below
