I don't understand why they haven't devoted more time on BBC3 for it.

It's annoying because during all the other festivals, they all get given loads of TV coverage, whether its BBC3 or Channel 4 - it's just on non stop normally, but never for The Big Weekend!

Gah.

Guess they don't want to be seen as biased as it's a festival they organise, unlike Glasto, Leeds and Reading etc.

Here's my diary/review of yesterday if anyone's interested :P

We arrived for around 11ish and got our tickets checked so we could go straight in when the gates opened. Westwood was waiting for us on the outdoor stage and offered a VIP pass to any girl that wanted to rub sun cream on his back.......his crack......and his sack.

We left, we went to see Yr Ods on the introducing stage who were bril and got me very exited for the rest of the day (and the welsh language music scene in general, but that's another story)

After Yr Ods I went to meet Scott, I got an autograph and shook his hand, he was nice, so was Reggie (who turned up late!), we could hear Dephic from the INMWT stage and they were pretty good :)

We then headed to see Marina who was good and afterward we went to rave to the sounds of Fabio and Grooverider (with only about 50 other people) they were VERY good.

Apparently whilst we were ravin the main stage was evacuated so they were behind schedule a bit. We saw Jason Derulo, me and my friends who are 'Solo' fans were very impressed when we thought he was dancing to a dubstep remix of Watcha Say, turns out it was technical difficulties and he went off stage :L He came back on though and he was very good, a very talented man, we were pleasantly surprised at how good he was.

Paramore next they were pretty good :) Then we went on to Plan B who was also great :)

I was really torn between Biffy and SubFocus but my friends wanted Biffy and I'm soo glad I chose them, A-MA-ZIN, best band of the day by far, the crowd were good too :)

I saw a little of You Me at Six but they're not my thing tbh (Does one of their songs go "I've got a big dick to touch my balls"?) Then we went to see Rihanna who was great and cemented her name as a Pop Star rather than a pop singer.

Pendulum headlined, they were good, but I think my ears had gone by then because the volume seemed lower, also quite a short set and a lack of hits, I know it's a festival but they were headlining!

Then we finished the night with Huw Stephens on the outdoor stage, he played anthem after anthem (Song 2 went down the best!!) and the crowd (all the proper hardcore! :P) were well up for it, he ended with "North Wales" FANTASTIC. Huw Stephens was the perfect end to an amazing day. LEGEND.
