Every find yourself pitying them fools with their camera phones trying to take photos of the big screens only to get home to find said photos have all come out as horrid static-riddled muddles? I feel a slight bit sorrier for them when they realize they could have immersed themselves in the music for that forty-five minutes and come home, clicked their mouse onto DiS to find photos from Holly Erskine (who was at Reading) and this first set of shots by Simon Shackleton from Leeds...

From the archive

Last photo
The girl at the front in the yellow T-shirt looks very very bored.
In fact
I think she might even be asleep!
i think she's just peeved
at the personal space invasion by the guy beside her.
what an odd setup Justice have
in that i'm sure behind all of those modular synths and wotnots they're just running a pair of decks.
WHY
did they put Digitalism on at the same time as Metallica? I mean, not an obvious clash, but I REALLY wanted to see Digitalism. Bah.
More importantly
why did they put Justice on at the same time as Bloc Party and then have a really crap choice for who to see last on the Saturday.
