Radio 1's Big Weekend




I'm in way too much pain as I type this. I got slightly squashed and bumped around during the Kasabian set. But as tenderised as I am I will carry on like the hardcore festival goer I was pretending to be yesterday. That was until I fell asleep on the bus home.






























It was an amazing day, and contrary to the weather forecast I managed to get a slight sun tan! Anyway, the show stealer's had to be Kasabian and the Scissor Sisters. Jake Shears has far too much camp energy for his own good. And I've decided that the guitarist Del is the coolest one in the band. I got some excellent photos, but on the basis of the Scissor Sisters stealing the show, I've added a compilation video of their performance. Cue lots of screaming from me and bad camera shake on the more up tempo songs. I've also included the one from BBC3 which features slightly better filming. Enjoy!






Also, a band which I would have liked to have seen is the Gossip, but they were on the same time as Kasabian. I dug this out from youtube only because it features the best ever burp mid vocal from Beth Ditto. That woman doesn't care! It's hilarious, shame I missed it!
