V Vote
What's the first thing you want to do when you get home from a festival?
AMY's Full House
Amy played to the biggest crowd the main stage has accommodated all weekend. With a heartfelt performance of Love is a Losing Game even the security were melting.
Hylands Park
Hylands House, built in 1728, is a beautiful neo-classical restored Grade 2* listed house set within some 570 acres of heritage parkland.
The Feeling
The Feeling, you'll gather, are not one of those bands who respond to success by getting grumpy and telling you how hard their lives are now.
