A German sniper sleeping bag........the best £5 I have ever spent. They unzip at the knee, tuck it up behind you & walk round wearing it.

Where you get that from mate?

[SemperEadem]

A shit load of drugs and a sense of adventure, really was, all you needed.

Splendour in the grass was amazing! Even if it was under a foot of mud. At the drive in, Bloc Party, The cast of Cheers were standouts

How was bloc party's new stuff?

[SOCCERROO FOX]

Only played 2 new songs by memory and one of which was Octopus which has been getting a bit of air play here already so the crowd was loving it.

[Trav Le Bleu]

This is how I see most festivals these days...

[General Smuts]

Greenday at Reading. OH MY WORD.

Unbelievable.

[ScouseFox]

Leeds was boss.

Justice was the most fun I've ever had, SBTRKT was sweet as and Sergio parading a City shirt around the stage at the end of Kasabian's set topped off my weekend.

[GLC]

Leeds you were amazing!

Highlights were

Foster The People

You Me @ 6

Bullet For My Valentine

Foo Fighters

The Hives

The Courteeners

All Time Low

Blood Red Shoes

Where as Paramore, Don Brocco, Angels & Airwaves all sucked!

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Reading was insane yet again, Greenday, Less Than Jake, Antiflag and of course Kasabian were my favorites, on the other hand I wouldn't be surprised if Odd Future never get near a festival again after that horrendous "show"

[goose2010]

I met the guys with the Leicester flagpole earlier on Saturday, during Clement Marfo and the Frontline I think. Saw a couple of retro city shirts around during they day. In the eve I tried to make my way as far in for Kasabian and suddenly heard a group of lads singing "Leicestershire la la la" and made my way over to them. They were a group of ex marines, one of which was a city fan with the crest tattooed on his back. They told me and my mate they had a military grade flare that they were going to let off, which they did during Underdog. It looked ace and I saw all of us on the highlights, but my god that thing was hot and it took all of them stamping on it to put it out. They were a good group of lads but they were obviously on something so I declined their invite back to their camp for the night! Brilliant weekend though, I'm now have a serious case of festival blues!

Just got back from Outlook Festival yesterday. Been looking forward to it since I booked it ages ago and it was still better than i could've expected. Would completely reccomended it to anyone into the music. The location was insane and every artist impressed. Alot of great people out there all up for it. Can see myself making another trip next year
