8 Bands over the whole weekend, if it was 8 bands a day then i'd consider going, but otherwise in my opinion its crap for your money and somone needs to be shot for putting my chemical romance on after slayer, still if anyone is going take a video recorder and film the bottles flying towards them please :D

Anyone else feel that this years lineup is shite (like V festival also which has been shit for last few years, last good one was with foo fighters and qotsa) I know alot of people from chelmsford aren't going to V this year and add increasing prices to list of shitness makes the whole experience rather expensive and crap :(
