It's been a good weekend at Leeds Festival and I got home a few hours ago now. Damn I'm in a good mood, really cracking mood. As soon as I got home I turned up my speakers, blastest out some Kick In The Teeth by Papa Roach while dancing around like a fool in my boxers. Followed by some air guitaring to Guns n Roses. 

Following this post I'll be doing my usual day by day review of all the bands I saw but as this was my first Leeds festival I thought I'd do a bit of an overview of the whole festival. 

If you know a bit about festivals in the UK you'll know that Leeds is the sister festival to Reading. They take place on the same weekend and have the same line up but just on different days. If you don't, you now do. This year Reading had torrential rain and the Gun n Roses set was apparently an hour late, terrible and cut off during Paridise City. Haha! We in Leeds had a much better weekend. It was dry for the most part with only the occasional breif shower and Guns n Roses set was... I'll save that until the review post. 

One thing I really noticed about Leeds was it seemed like disordered order. Camping was all over the place including right next to fair ground rides. It worked fine but just seemed a little weird to me but then again I've only been the Sonisphere and Download festivals before. The toliets were pretty poor. If you're a guy and need a pee it's fine but if you're busted for the other and the arena isn't open you'd have been fresh out of luck becuase the majority of toliets were the open hole with a fixed, pee soaked, wooden seat. Not nice. I hear the girls toilets were quite nice.

There was a lot of crime in the campsites. On the second morning the people in the tents next to us had cameras and phones stolen in the night. They weren't the only ones. To add insult to the situation some other things were stolen from their group on two more seperate occasions, including one the of the girls's whole bag. The steward who came to see them the last time was saying someone had been "rinsing" the whole campsite. It's terrible. I was lucky, nothing stolen but someone had definately been in my tent (inner zip was open and I never leave it unzipped).

The stage set up was fine but there was a few issues with volume. I'll mention indiviual bands in my reviews. 

That'll do for now. The rest will come maybe today and tomorrow.
