I’ve been watching a fair bit of e4’s coverage of the v festival this weekend. the coverage itself has been quite good, they have managed to show bits from the smaller stages which is better than most festival coverage usually manages. in terms of the music itself, it’s been ok (oozing with enthusiasm there) the best bits I’ve caught have been beck and the go-team. hoping to see some of rufus wainwright and moz later.
I’ve only been to v once and didn’t like it as much as I have other festivals, it has a much more mainstream feeling and the fact that there were official product partners for everything from coke to ketchup annoyed me, that level of corporatism seems at odds with what festivals should be about.
>>update>> just watching faithless perform god is a dj and the crowd go wild. best reaction I’ve seen all day.
