Anyone reach this year? Was so good.

Instra:mental and dBridge were my highlight, their set was fire!

yeah man was sick, didnt catch them tho, caspa, zinc, shy fx and skream were wicked! skream was off it tho haha (bit annoyed he played sweet shop tho)

Yeah had a wicked time. SBTRKT was a surprising highlight, never thought to much of his productions, but I didn't stop moving while he played. Untold & Ramadanman killed it too. Mount Kimbie were sick but i felt their set was too short. Flying Lotus was definately my number one of the weekend though, unbelievable stuff. Kinda pissed I missed Gaslamp Killer. And I swear that Katy fucking B bullshit was played everywhere.

Yeah I agree, SBTRKT was surprisngly brilliant. ramadanman, shy fx, flying lotus (highlight), joy orbison, instra:mental and skream all were incredible. Skream was a little quiet i felt though.Overall highlights had to be chic or rolf harris though!

Hahahah Rolf Harris, what a legend. I thought Joy Orbison was really good, but it was so harsh how they were setting up The XX behind him, like testing the lighting and doing soundchecks over the top of him.

Best festival i've ever been to. Plastikman, Magda, Joy Orb, Mount Kimbie, Todd Edwards, Four Tet and Untold were all amazing. Arcadia was insane.

Feeling rough now though.

Sick weekend. Flying Lotus was the highlight for me, shout out to Autonomic Crew, David Rodigan, Gaslamp Killer (shame about the sound), Joy Orb (ditto), Mount Kimbie and Four Tet as well though. Was anyone in the Magic Mirrors/CLub DaDa tent on the Thursday when they played James Blake - CMYK? If so, could they ID that track before it that sounded like DVA - Natty? Many thanks.

SBTRK was my highlight, but Ramadanman was big too. Joy Orbison was live but definitely too quiet. First time there though and thought it was a whole load of fun, can't wait to go back.

SBTRKT was actually a massive surprise, really really decent. Joy Orbison's set was better than I expected too, but yeh too quiet. It was such a shame with Ramadanman experiencing technical difficulties but it was still proper decent. Anyone know of that track he said was his that he dropped just after he went on the microphone? Sounded sweet as. Saw Erol Alkan instead of instra:mental so missed out on that. Mount Kimbie and Flying lotus were also well good. The highlight of the festival though was without a doubt Richie Hawtin as Plastikman!

the xx were my highlight by a mile they were amazing!

zinc followed by joker followed by the gaslamp killer on the spider was amazing to follow it too, loved it out there!

Caspa smashed it on the saturday, really enjoyed chase and status live on the main stage too

Have to agree on SBTRKT my friends looked at me as if i was mental when i left the prodigy early to catch him, no regrets such a good set! bucky dun gun went off haha!

yeah i came back from the portaloos and he was spinning bucky dun gun. came back in time i think.
the xx were incredible as well.

absolutely sick festival. plastikman, chic, prodigy, the wailers and flylo were all big highlights. i did literally just realise i missed todd edwards though so i'm a bit annoyed. i bumped into flylo at untold though which was cool.

considering he's a fucking hero and comes from LA it seems a bit funny how many times i've bumped into him randomly at stuff now.

Plastikman, Fever Ray, Fat freddys drop, Mount Kimbie, chic and Untold where all incredibly affecting sets for me. Amazing combination of music and visuals. I'm surprised by how many of you thought the Joy Orb, Fly Lo and Ramadanman where awesome. the sound in the middle of the big top for fly lo and joy was aweful- I couldn't make out any of teh tunes and had to leave. Ramadanman as first 25 min was so bad I couldn't believe it was actually him. Gaslamp was a bit dissapointing too. It did seem like a lot of DJ's where having midi controller issues- we watched Dam Funk try and get set up for almost 2 hours. awesome festival though- really nice crowd- thanks to the people who handed my bag into lost property which was full of the weekends supplies

I was there, had a fucking wicked weekend! Skream's set in the big top was my highlight, absolutely brilliant.
Mary Anne Hobbs and Joker on Arcadia on the first night blew my mind as well. That fire shit, and those guys with the electric, one of the craziest spectacles i've ever seen.
