this is what you will get for your £39:
- rain
- queues
- local rudebwoys trying to flog you 'beans'
- stewards confiscating 'beans' off you
- long delay whilst someone tries to zip up mouse outfit with broken zip
- mouse eventually appearing and punching air in delight
- mouse pressing buttons
- heavier rain
- 17 year old kids everywhere - some of whom think it will be laugh to start flicking caterpault projectiles at the deadmaus
- no tunes you recognise
- no tunes you ever want to hear again
- no tunes that do anything whatsover to lift your spirits or reaffirm your love of humanity
- more bleeps
- huge cheers whenever mouse presses button on computer / checks email
- a headache from music
- a nasty aftertaste from the few 'beans' that didn't get confiscated
- no rush whatsoever
- tall bloke in front with girlfriend on shoulders still obstructing view of mouse apart from ears
- a desperate urge to find nearest pub ASAP
I'm just jaded

I went last year and found the production to be a bit bland (but not bad for a festie finding its feet*)...
* However with Cream as a backer they should be able to hit the ground running.
But - Aphex Twin was absolutely unbelievable. If Dead"sillyhatgimmick"FerretWhatshisface is the replacement for him then I'm royally unimpressed.
Here's a couple of vids I took:

Deadmau5 never dissapoints in the production! Dunno how it will translate from arena to park though
