Sunday doesn't look to great, same for Friday. Dance Arena is pretty bad too actually. It had some fantastic acts in 2008 when I was last there (Hot Chip, Justice) and there aren't too many grabbing my attention this time. And the potential clashes are awful: Kasabian, Hot Chip, Dirty Projectors all at once, Wild Beasts and Yeasayer, Broken Social Scene and the Prodigy.

Damn you Oxegen.

Just over three weeks away - best stock up on toilet roll and baby wipes now people!
