Lines: Smaller than previous years, to get in, for food and merchandise. Maybe not selling out was a good thing?
Food and drink: A high quality and varied selection, with free V-Shots, Slurpees and Iced Tea also on offer.
Calling all Cars: Frantic in a good way. Horrible moustache on the bass player. Loved the kit throwing into the crowd. Entertaining even if you don't like the music. But I did.
Bonjah: Energetic, their passion can't be faulted.
Stonefield: Admirable and extremely talented for such a young age. Have some kinks which will doubtless be ironed out over time.
Parkway Drive: Not bad musically. Can't shake the impression they're jocks who just took up music because they were bored. The Bass player looks like a surfer, geez. Beachballs good value
Boy & Bear: Dull name. Seem like nice guys. Another horrible moustache. Dull opening which couldn't save their improving setlist.
Hilltop Hoods: Not as good as they can be, but still good fun and have a loyal following.
Architecture in helsinki: Debbie.
The Living End: For the first time ever they look slightly old. Can't fault their musicallity though. Old stuff is still their best stuff.
My Chemical Romance: Dropped their emo tag. Good. New music sounded good till they started playing dance music. Oh dear.
Bluejuice: Well... weird. But what did you expect?
The Jezabels: Talent there for all to see. Only a couple of songs which do their talent justice out of their set however.
Foster the people: Pumped up kicks-need more be said?
Kasabian-Arrogant frontman (brilliant!), guitarist, singer's hair looked cool. But songs just not there, still seem unsure of whether they want people to rock, dance or balladeer.
Soundgarden: IT'S FREAKING SOUNDGARDEN. Sound was a bit quiet. Interesting setlist, not their most mainstream but that's not a bad thing. Kim Thayill needs to lighten up. Ben Shepherd looked older than usual, though he was a roadie initially. Chris Cornell's hair looked amazing with a fan in front of him, voice still great. Matt Cameron the real star of the show, what a drummer.
Kanye West: Great entrance. Great arrogance. Great songs. Can appreciate what he's trying to do with the dancer's though I don't enjoy it. Needs to get rid of the autotune. And the whining/ranting. People care what you have to say Kanye but not when it's so indulgent and just about a girl ditching you. Can put on entertainment though. Feel sorry for the dancer's with the wedgies.
Nero:Got rid of the dropkicks in front of me during Kanye, so for that I thank you
