We are going now after getting free tickets! Think the b-i-l might get a bit suss if we start disappearing off with strange people!

Nowt there that really grab my interest although Steel Panther were good with Motley Crue last year, if Chase n Status (controversial) are anything like they were at Wakestock last year they may actually get some new fans!

Plenty of bands well worth checking, just enjoy your time popping from one stage to the next and take as much in as you can.

I'm there for Saturday only, but plan to see many bands.

Had a great time.

I think the band I most enjoyed was Steel Panther, so funny with a good talent too.

Enjoyed Blackveil Brides too, but for their moaning between every song.

Was great to see Saxon, after all these years of gig going and I've not seen them 'til now, surprising.

Apparently tickets for next year will be on sale this Friday and they have one headlining act confirmed, they've not stated who though.

Steel panter were bloody awesome! Right i no Sabbath are awesome and all that but i thought that it shud have been metillica that closed the show there just wasnt that big bang at the end and i expected more being the 10th anniversey and all that. Maybe it was just opionon what do ever one else think?

Was such a shit start to the festival with the weather. But it did pick up for me. best band was sabbath but thats only cause iwas crowd surfing in my kilt and on crutches. So im sure it was a rather intresting sight lol.

Met some amasing people over the weekend and got some cool photos. Also managed to get my self in to the media bit on the sat then artist area on the sunday.

Hope everyone enjoyed they selfs as much as i did
