There's quite a few I've seen saying best yet, what made it so? Weather related or is something else elevating this one?

The weather helped as it's great to be able to sit on the grass at any point but I'd have been happy for it to piss down on Saturday afternoon. Also, the lineup wasn't packed with loads of stuff that I was desperate to see so allowed for plenty wandering about which is the best part about it. Still managed to watch 22 acts over the 5 days though. The fact that I wasn't absolutely fucked on the Sunday and was able to watch Fontaines DC at 3am Monday morn was a bonus and a surprise.

I'd guess Thiago Silva?

It's a good guess I'll give you that.

 

Let me know if you can decipher it...

 

 

 

Santan from the v-v x AJ
Man mystic with the pen like J.K
True say, I ain't really a drinker
But I got love for brandy like Ray J
Champagne popper, .44 chopper
In the black Nike bomber, heartbeat stopper
Half-heart MC dropper
45 wapper, leave you in states like Kaká

AJ from the l-l x Santan
Man's got style on the riddim like Gangnam
Two young bruddas tryna eat off of music
But we used to eat off of pebs and the sand bags
Now we get money, music money
Money that could put your girlfriend in a handbag
White tee, Balenciagas, man bag
Left-winger with a long stick like a granddad
AJ Tizzy from T-H-E lizzy
And I'm all out for the Lizzy
I don't wanna look like you, you're broke
And I've been telling broke bruddas move like Grizzy
Still brandy but the hand ting fizzy
Probs be in bin if a man weren't busy
I'm a mic king, I'm a king on the mic
And I'll spin bruddas till the whole scene gets dizzy

Walk in the rave, smile on my face
Drink in my cup, hand in my jeans
Man talk tough, man look up, down, left, right
Straight to a bang in the teeth
Man still talk tough, man saw man in the flesh
Now man's tryna talk to my Gs
Nah, none of that, none, .45 drum
Run you right out of your street
Walk in the dance, chicks wanna glance
Hand on my hip, shank for the dip
If I shout "Oi", them man there best skip
Better tie up your laces tight and don't trip
Trip, get splashed
Couldn't care less about my man's gang
We're not fam, we're not friends or bredrins
You'll get tanned and binned, cock, then blam

Santan Dave from the Vale and Tracey
Duck man down on the road, I'm pacey
Two lighties on the phone, so facety
One named Jordan and one named Stacey
S with the S from the S, ask Showkey
Dust man down with a mask like Tobi
Tell a boy cotch, my man's telling me lots
But we are not Gs so don't watch my face

Ladbroke Grove is where I re- who?
Man get burst up in the G- who?
Came back with a fresh one, it's new
Don't come around for a two of the blue
I don't give a fuck if you're old or new
I'll just go on like black ball who?
Put a couple dead MCs in the grave
Trust me, darg, you can go there too
Trust me, darg, you can go there free
I'll never watch F-A-C-E
AJT from MTP
Nike lab tracksuit, Nike ID
Man got overly fucked in the beef
Pretty sure I landed a bang to his teeth
Man will get banged in the face by me
Not my bredrin, banged in the face by me

And me
Man talk tough, we'll see
Hit him with the left, right, left, right, left, right, right
One jab, then I duck, then weave
Come like Trevor from GTA
If I bang man's face, man bop, then lean
Kun Aguero, man dropped the shoulder feint once
Quick kick then I drop man's G
First time I link her, Nandos sweet
£9.95, I swipe, then eat
I one-two rap, she don't give hat
Thiago Silva, man block, then skeet
Had man screaming "Look, there's my man"
Hand in my pouch like "Where? It's not me"
Hand in my pouch like "Where? It's not us"
Turned to my G like "Where? It's not we"
So if you get boom with the .45 long
It's a critical hit, no chance to repeat
And if you see Arge in the cut with the dip
You're pissed so quick your team should retreat
But if you see Juss in the cut with his right hand tucked
You're fucked, your team should leave, G
If you see Rapz in the back with his hand in the bag
It's mad, we came to see Ps

Walk in the rave, smile on my face
Drink in my cup, hand in my jeans
Man talk tough, man look up, down, left, right
Straight to a bang in the teeth
Man still talk tough, man saw man in the flesh
Now man's tryna talk to my Gs
Nah, none of that, none, .45 drum
Run you right out of your street
Walk in the dance, chicks wanna glance
Hand on my hip, shank for the dip
If I shout "Oi", them man there best skip
Better tie up your laces tight and don't trip
Trip, get splashed
Couldn't care less about my man's gang
We're not fam, we're not friends or bredrins
You'll get tanned and binned, cock, then blam

I'm seriously kicking around the idea of going probably year after next to coincide with some 40th birthdays and so many coming back saying it's better than ever helps with that, it's just the cost of a small holiday side of things that's hard to swallow especially with the potential for washout. Tickets up around £250 mark now aren't they?

Those lyrics are probably too subtle for most people to understand.

To summarise, it's a complex love story about a man and his undying affection for the Trafford Centre.

Kafka, Satre, Orwell, Keats, Shelley - all made to look like ten bob gutter scribes in the face of this literary whirlwind.

I can't wait for the sequel.

Just over £250 which is an absolute bargain considering who/what you potentially get to see and 5 days camping. You don't have to spend that much while there if you drive down as you can take as much food/ale as you can be arsed to carry from the car but the coach has limited us the last couple of times and the food options are unbelievable so yeah I could easily have gone abroad for what I spent in total this time. It's fucking magic though.

Take your point but it's a different discussion really.

Personally always thought Sham 69 were a bit pop (although I still don't let the kids touch my Hersham Boys gatefold), people like Upstarts/Crass in a similar mould, Clash a different beast for me because they could do all sorts.

If we all liked the same shit and had the same opinion on things though, life would be a bit dull.

Just about back in the land of the living , had a different time than previously this year with the Mrs being on a mobility scooter , the provisions made for folks with disabilities are absolutely brilliant ....Not my favourite year of the 15 i have done but nowt to whinge about (other than someone trying to charge £2.50 for a can of water)  Managed a good few bands loved Fontaines DC , Idles , Chems, Gerry Cinnamon, Morcheeba ...watched Stormzy and thought he smashed it not my bag really but still...getting talked into seeing The Cure is my only regret i thought they were bobbins, lots of new stuff to see this year ... Great value for money as always , crowd seemed up for it everywhere probably because no rain  ....Roll on 2020 ticket gods willing.

Yeah I didn't encounter any dickheads this year, saying that I only watched 2 bands on The Pyramid. Already nervous for ticket day in October. Big 50 next year.

Tickets are gonna be hard to come by next year tshape , having said that capacity is being increased by about 40k i think. Having said that I haven't seen a ticket booking page since 2014 anyway lucky that mates have got me sorted .

I know, it'll be a bloodbath. None of our group got anywhere near the booking page last October so a lot of em planned other things. My girlfriend got through for us two in the resale at the last minute, she was shaking like mad putting the details in.

Hadn't heard of Idles before this thread, not watched their set yet but l been listening on Spotify and they're pretty decent - don't come across many new bands I like

Still not watched the streets yet so got these and idles left to watch I think
