Yeah! Great stuff, I do love Q.O.T.S.A Saw them at Newcastle, think it was last year, they were great.

I was there. They sounded huge but the set seemed short. Then f-ing Guns 'n Roses kept us standing around for an hour.

The bass heads looked like two Ampegs to me, one a vintage thing, but I was a fair way back.

Cheers

Didn't see that but did see them at Reading two years ago. They were extremely good. RATM followed them and, in my view, were even better.

Mumford & sons were incredible.
It's not really my cup of tea, but the crowd was heaving, and they were singing like i've never heard a crowd sing before.
The singer was visibly gobsmacked and did a good job of actually getting his words out to their biggest song (not sure what it's called).
All in all a nice sunny day festival set.

Pendulum were loud.

I did catch some of QOTSA, i didn't know they were playing so i was chuffed to be able to catch (some of) their set.
Very cool.

Folk is the new metal My nephew dragged me there but we couldn't get within viewing range. So we staggered back to QOTSA, where I'd have happily stayed

Never listen to young people

Epiphone Jack Cassidy was the nice sounding bass, the woolly one was a Gibson. The rig looked like one old SVT the other case looks like a rack with preamp/compressor & effects, two 8x10s. QOTSA were great. Pendulum were great too (but don't tell my daughter she will only say "told you so!!" )
