That's festival, and not the rain, which started at approximately 2.49am this morning. Still the mood is high as the music's about to start. Anticipated highlights are the Arctics, the Winehouse, the Arcade Fire and (the) Hot Chip, all of whom we should be reviewing later on.
But during the day we'll be keeping you up to date with goings-on, including whoever's slipped into the latrine. But more importantly we're (a motley crew of GUM and Arts blog staff plus various renegade NME writers) scheduled to interview the following: Conor Oberst, Bloc Party, Simian Mobile Disco, Rufus Wainwright, Kasabian, Kate Nash and, indeed, others. So keep coming back to find out who's flaked out and decided to stay in their winnebago...
