The line-up included David Gray

Nelly Furtado had the whole crowd standing and dancing, with a DJ on the decks on stage with her - she was really cool.

She wowed the crowd with I'm Like a Bird and did a couple of Missy Elliot numbers including Get Your Freak On.

Faithless were on the main stage and had everyone jumping when they played We Come One and I Can't Get No Sleep.

And Coldplay kept the crowd pumped up, playing all their hits plus some new songs.

One new tune sounded too similar to their other material - rather like Coldplay-by-numbers - but the other one was called Gonna Put a Smile on Your Face, which was much less melancholy than their usual fodder.

Kylie Minogue: Amazing

Towards the end of their set the heavens opened and everyone raced to undercover venues.

But some people queued more than an hour in the rain to see Aussie sample masters Avalanches and, of course, Kylie Minogue.

Kylie was amazing, and I was surprised at how strong her voice was.

She opened with Shocked and also did Step Back in Time.

She also got a huge cheer for Kids, her hit song recorded with Robbie Williams.

Unfortunately I did not manage to see Texas or the Charlatans because I got drenched - it was bucketing down when they were playing, and I had to take refuge in a nearby tent.

Still - that's the joy of open air music festivals.
