I wasn't planning to attend, but a friend convinced me to go in the afternoon on Sunday. Totally glad I went. Parking was a cinch, bought a ticket at the gate and just walked in. It wasn't too packed, which was a plus, and the lines were never too long.
Listened to Iggy Pop, Stone Temple Pilots, Black Keys, Bob Dylan and danced for 4 straight hours to Moby and Armin van Buuren spinning in the DJ tent. What more could you ask for? An amazing evening that I will never forget.

Hey everyone,
I can't wait for this! If there are any aspiring music journalists out there there's a good competition for you to get free tickets, I've already got mine so thought i would spread the word in case anyone wants to go for free!
