V Festival 08 over and out...
- Aug 18, 2008
V 2008 is now over and what a weekend! From sunburn to mudfights, pop to punk, V has delivered a weekend that won't be forgotten!
As is tradition there were a variety of different outfits on display this weekend ranging from the obligatory men dressed as women, superheroes and even a leprechaun complete with beard and pot of gold. However, the outfit that really caught my eye was the man who was dressed as a giant penis. God knows what possessed him, I can't imagine how anyone could possibly think "ooh what shall I wear...Spiderman? no, army soldier? no, giant penis? Fantastic idea!"
Highlights for me were The Pogues epic performance in the JJB arena with Shane drinking more than the entire crowd whilst still managing to belt out the numbers faultlessly, The Stranglers covering the Kinks 'All Day and All of the Night" in the sunshine of Sunday morning, Richard Ashcroft bellowing "Bittersweet Symphony" to a rain drenched hysteric crowd, Goldie Lookin Chain insulting people's mothers in the way they know and as for Muse... unbelievably, indisputably, awesomely brilliant.
Full reports to follow but first I need some sleep...!
