Top respect to Foo Fighters, but sorry lads Kasabian blew you away. An amazing performance, from an amazing band. Long live the fusion of Led Zep rock and the funk of Madchester.

Bradley Christie
Foo fighters were no where near the best act over the weekend. They were built up for too much over the weeknd. Kasabian best by far. However I think DAve Grohl is the sexiest man alive mwah mwah
Caroline
How amazing were the FOO FIGHTERS! Well worth the agonising wait! Kasabian blew everyone away, they were so awesome!
Rooster rocked it up at the beginning nicely too. All in all a great weekend for everyone!

juju
OMG what can I say, the best band in the world - FOO FIGHTERS were absolutely awesome last night... we battled our way right to the front getting squished but it was totally worth it! KT Tunstall is an amasing live singer, as is Natalie Imbruglia. Kasabian have some awesome bass! (we were right next to the right speakers)Thanks to the safety guys for giving me bright yellow ear plugs! (gonna keep them as a souvenir)The mud was inexplainable! But nothing could ruin this absolutely awesome day! It was awesome too because the barriers were so close to the stage... I've never been so close to Dave Grohl before, wow *goes all gooey* RADIO 1 thank you soooooooooooooooo much for giving us tickets, we never ever thought we'd win the online competition! I wish I could come give whoever decides the competition winners a massive wet kiss! Someone give them one for me ok, please! ;p Hee hee. Love from julie (juju) and Scott from Wakefield. Xx
him
i was there on sat, cant make sunday though. ah well, i saw kasabian, they were the best :D very very good. my only regret is not waiting in the queue in the rain to meet em... ah well =P thanks r1 for the experience.
Fat Kev
Here I sit, a broken man in front of my PC. I saw the hairy rock beast known as Dave G! AWESOME! Just a shame the Foos couldn't have played a longer set. More concerts for Sunderland!
Tristan Caley
I wish i was there it is so unfair i been at home all the time in The Isle Of Man. Kasabian were ace! Foo Fighters were ace... to be honest it was all GREAT !! i hope it is good today, it will be hard to beat yesterday.
Alex
a wkd day, shame about the weather but the foo fighters made up for that with an amazing peformance but the chemical brother set was by far the best an amazing atmosphere absolutly fantastic!!!
Keith
Chemical brothers and Mauro picotto were out of this world. Had an excellent day.

marty and eve
Chemical brothers were amazing!we were rite at the front and they were incredible
Joshua
I think Natalie Imbruglia rocks it all. She has the loudest crowds of all.

The Foo Fighters were amazing, I cannot wait to see them for the fourth time at Reading this summer. I loved Dave's version of 'Everlong' - the man is a God.
Kat
Absolutely wicked, been listening all day & having a beer or 20 to you tonight. Keep it coming.
Helen
i was unable to get tix but i heard some on the radio. Love Rooster's cover of Basement Jaxx! it rocked!
Georgie
Foo Fighters rocked!!!! sooooo cool! i wish i was there! its unfair!
Paul
Foo Fighters ... Unbelievable, just in a class, on a level, and in a place way above anything we could possibly deserve..! Tight, loud, melodic (in all the right places ) Rock stripped down and put back together as it should have always been.. ! ( use that quote its true )
Dennison Fest
hi every one. we couldnt get any tickets so we decided to have our own festival in our garden. We have had hailstone and rain but nothing has stopped us.
Craig from Aberdeen
