The final time I went was in the mid 90’s. It was getting a bit too big for me to pay for by then. I would still go if a free ticket came up … Idles and Khruangbin would be worth it. I would check out Billie Eillish and Sam Fender too. Not my taste really, but they both have something special going on.
Like you I never really looked at the line up and spent most of my time enjoying the mad $hit going on in many of the peripheral areas and seeing bands on the smaller stages who were really into the whole experience. Really infectious energy.
