Last weekend was of course my annual trip to Leeds Festival, which was as ever: AWESOME. The ususal crew of us went and we had a supercool time. I also met up with Sally and Avnish and made some new friends who happen to go to uni in Leicester. I saw:
ROBOTS IN DISGUISE...(Noel Fielding came on stage to play bass wearing a robot mask)
LETHAL BIZZLE...(Bizzled my socks off)
PENDULUM...(so jam packed that my face nearly got ripped off when leaving the tent, and i was holding tight to a man's neck vein, thinking it was Grace's finger!)
TENACIOUS D...(i heart jack)
LIGHTSPEED CHAMPION...(who did the Star Wars medley again, making my day)
DIGITALISM...(unexpectedly AMAZING to dance to)
CSS...(i danced like a tool due to the African Vodka pouches Grace brought, we even whipped out the sports dance moves)
DIZZEE RASCAL...(who would've been better in a tent instead of on the main stage, but still i fixed up and looked sharp)
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE...(again, unexpectedly amazing since i don't really know much of their stuff...although the sound was terrible where we were standing at the start)
THE TEENAGERS...(my friend from home Sally got to go up on stage and sing the girls bit in 'The Homecoming' which was supercool)
MGMT...('Electric Feel' went down REALLY well with the crowd)
THE KILLERS...(dropped masses and masses of confetti at the end which looked beautiful, as well as having an amazing stage set)
ALKALINE TRIO...(me and my friends danced like girls and wore jewellery and stuff in amongst a crowd of people in black talking about death, and then showed them all who the true Alkaline fans were by knowing all the words)
JUSTICE...(Truly awesome. I think they were probably my highlight because i danced so much, and they played 'D.A.N.C.E.' AND 'We Are Your Friends'. I was so happy and sweaty)
FOALS...(not great live, i think his vocals needed turning up)
LOUIS XIV...(I used to love their album so it was a happy surprise to see them live)
LOS CAMPESINOS!...(just nice and lovely and fun)
EDITORS...(i didn't realise how many of their songs i love)
SANTOGOLD...(COOL AS ICE. I caught up with Avnish and Deborah for this awesome event. Her dancers made me feel inadequate on the dancefloor though)
My highlights were Justice, Digitalism, Dizzee, Santogold, Pendulum...it was all TOO GOOD! I had a fabulosa time, even though it was muddy as hell and I fell flat on my face several times! I sported some high risk dance moves at the rave tents, and stole a girls sunglasses only to loose them in the mud. All in all, AN ACE WEEKEND.

sounds good! though, you should've gone to see the manics! x
i know, i know. me and sally were seeing alkaline trio together before the manics began and we both knew how much trouble we'd get in. sorry! i heard they were amazing though, which makes me feel a bit silly that i missed out.
