Festival time…again
Posted by andycraven on June 18, 2007
Well the o2 Festival finished here in Leeds yesterday and although I would have liked to have gone if only to see Daft Punk I’m kinda glad I didn’t. Seemed a lot of money for not too many major acts methinks. Glastonbury is coming up and my lucky mates managed to get hold of some tickets…and a rather plush camper van (not as good as Jim’s parents though). Unfortunately, I have other plans so will not be knee deep in shit for three days.
That doesn’t mean to say I’m OK about it, as one of the reasons of going was for us all to catch up again and go back to our hedonistic days of yesteryear. Somehow though I don’t think it would be the same as those long summer nights several years ago stood in a tent at Creamfield, 2am, arms folded, in amazement watching John Digweed for 2 hours straight just in awe. Or walking into the Bugged Out! tent at about 4.30am at Gatecrasher Summer Sound System only to find it in complete darkness save the brightest torch I have ever seen being floated around by a certain Mr Danny Tenaglia. Or in the Bacardi Breezer bar at about 6pm at Homelands with the funkiest set I’ve ever heard from Joey Negro…so funky the bar staff jumped up on the bar Coyote Ugly stylee and refused to serve punters until they’d had a dance. Good girls. Why didn’t I ever think to take a camera with me to these things?
