All in all a fantastic weekend with loads of great performances- favourites include The Killers, Razorlight and Snow Patrol. Disappointing to have Oasis pull out though. The only thing I would say is they need more toilets! Its no fun queuing for half an hour and missing out on bands especially when you can see there was plenty of room for more portaloos. Its a sad sight when girls resort to squatting against a wall in front of festival goers or behind the portaloos because the wait is too long.

Line up - great
Weather - unusually briliant
Atmosphere - playful
Crowd - getting younger very year (not exactly a good thing)
Sunday - a little bit over crowded
Oasis - disappointing and unprofessional
Snow Patrol - pulled it out of the bag and rocked the Sunday line up
Pendulum - best of Saturday
Bag Searching Police into the arena - bit over the top and inconsistant

2 many DJ's totally rocked this year, by far the highlight of my weekend. Also loved Pendulum and Lily Allen.

Massive disappointment that Oasis didn't make it to Chelmsford, although Snow Patrol did a good job of standing in for them as headliners.

Cleanliness was pretty good this year and toliet attendants handing out loo roll was a bonus!

My only question would be why haven't they made V a 3 day event yet?! Why??!!

As a festival virgin I had a fabulous weekend, the sun was shining, the beer was flowing and there was some damn good music to listen too. I only wish I had watched Lady GaGa rather than Oasis. I can't wait for next year!

Having lapped up tickets for the third year running and before the lineup was known, I was subsequently overjoyed to then see The Killers and Oasis headline. Not only that but my wife came with me and on Saturday we got to see our favourite bands Elbow, SnowPatrol and Oasis all in one night. From midday on each day there were also some fantastic shows laid on by The Script, Bens Brother, The Proclaimers, Lady Gaga to name just a few. You could even go to a smaller stage and see Will Young (if you like that kind of thing - I personally have never been confused).

As far as staying over is concerned, if you want to camp like sardines you can but if you walk to the very end of the park you can find a bit of space with fantastic views of Shropshire or the festival arena below. I recommend spirits in plastic bottles over cans or you'll never make it through the mud if it is wet. The weather in 2009 was glorious throughout but 2007 and 2008 was wet, very wet, very sodding wet (but great fun if you can find a couple of lilos to have a mud bobsleigh race with).

As for facilities I'd say they are spot on apart from the lack of toilets. On a personal note I won tickets to enter the Secret Garden which contains delux tiolets but like an idiot didn't open the envelope until I got home so was left queing with the droves of cross-legged people. There did seem to be less tiolets in the far reaches of the park but then if your fit enough to drag your tent and alcohol that far you probably won't worry about a little walk to find a tiolet. There are plenty of food stalls and more importantly numerous bars where you can get larger, cider, guiness, wine or bacardi. I'd avoid the bars that require tokens - why queue twice when you can head for one of the other bars or the bacardi tent (who produce a fantastic mahioto - however you spell it)?

Only had day tickets, but what a day! Stayed at main stage, as The Killers were the big draw for us and managed to get almost right to the front by the time they came on stage. Of the bands playing during the day, Starsailor and The Script stood out for me but have to say thoroughly enjoyed most of the acts. The atmosphere was great and the weather too. The Killers absolutely rocked. This is the fourth time I have seen them this year and still they didn't disappoint - if anything this could have been the best performance yet. The whole thing left me buzzing, with a croaky voice and bruises, but hope to do a weekend next time.

As a regular festival goer I was hugley looking forward to my trip to V and travelled nearly 300 miles to get there, but have to say I was dissppointed on so many levels. The bands, with the exception of a few were just going through the motions of mediocrity - there was no passion and certainly no festival spirit . As far as I could see this event was purely commercial with the attitude of take their money and let them get on with it. I didn't feel like a paying customer but more like a criminal with no human rights at all.
From the car parking signage leading to us being herded into an unmarked 'blue' car park [despite us displaying a red car park ticket] a huge distance to walk with all our gear to the camp site. [Officials lied and said it was ten minutes away] to overfilled camp sites, with a complete lack of basic amenities [3 dribbling taps to supply water for 2 fields meant over an hour wait! Organisation was terrible - there were huge queues everywhere - over an hour just to get into the stadium so it was impossible to see the first bands. The toilets which were the most disgusting I have ever seen in years of festivals [and I've seen some bad stuff - believe me!] were totally inadequate and filthy [only cleaned once over the weekend] and had huge queues - I totally missed Lily Allen's set because I was in a very smelly queue for the loo. Where's the pleasure in that! I,and hundeds of others, then couldn't get to see Lady GaGa who was playing on the small Arena stage because we were stuck in the crowd for 45 mins trying to get in and then out of the too-small overcrowded area. What with that and headliners Oasis cancelling with no apology or recompese from the organisers it was just a disaster and I was left feeling totally ripped off. I wouldn't even descibe this as a festival and suggest the organisers look up the definition of the word and try to remember this is supposed to be a feel good event for the attendees as well as the accountants!

first time festival goer, had a great time, thought it was organised really well.

red campsite bloody long way from the carpark

bands to suit all tastes.

only thing that bugged me was the litter, lots of bins provided but no-one bothered to use them, half eaten food everywhere!!!!, disgusting.

other than that had a fab time and will go again.
