I saw faithless at V99 when i was 16, me and my mate went up on a coach that was put on by a local music shop

you do get some weirdos there tho. one pissed and/or drugged hippy thought i was after his piss sodden jacket and thought hed warn me by poking a pair of scissors in the side of me, i told him i wasnt and slowly wandered off, no harm done thankfully

Faithless rocked the place.........How the hell Morrissey could follow that i don't know!

Highlights for me were Kasabian, The Editors, Bloc Party, Hard Fi, We Are scientists and The Dead 60's!

Faithless were brilliant again

Me and the missus were 4 rows from the front so had a good spot

We saw lily allen, haysey dixie, sugababes, hard-fi, paul weller (so we could get a decent spot for faithless !!), faithless and groove armada, bit let down by groove armada and shouldve seen razorlight instead but hay ho

Left at 7am and got home Sunday morning 4am !!

Definately worth it tho, shame Faithless have no more gigs confirmed but Sister Bliss is preggers so will be on hold for a while

i popped to the loo as soon as i got in as i knew what theyd get like and managed to wait till i got back to the car to need another piss so went there so that was ok !!

got soaked as it pissed down all day and come 11pm when it was kicking out i was slipping everywhere but then so was everyone else

shame i couldnt have had a few beers as i was driving, depending on the lineup next year i might hire a campervan and stay in some sort of luxury !!
