It looks as though Slipknot have pulled out, they aren't my kind of music but for fans who purely buy tickets for a major band like these i'd be completely gutted.

Got back yesterday evening. Best weekend of my year.... as usual. Was a real downer coming home. Justice and Metallica were amazing, best gigs I've ever seen.

11 Cars got burnout though, 5 rows away from my mates mark3 Polo. So glad I refused to take mine!

Yeh Slipknot dropped out, Joey broke his ankle. Was extremely gutted! Avenged Sevenfold also didn't show, wasn't bothered out them, but it messed the lineup up and I ended up missing half of Tenacious D

Yeh my car was in the row with the cars that got burnt..

Found out on Sunday night from security that Row 11 had burnt cars and ran from Green camp back to White car park s**t myself, only to find it two cars away from a burnt out van :S. Thank f*ck!!

Not taking the car next year.. Epic weekend though..!

Geeeez that was close!! I know I'd never take my car to any festivals. It sticks out too much to thieves, I hate parking dents and now it's not unknown for them to get burnt out!!

I met someone on the Monday that had had there car burnt. And they didn't even have fire covered on their insurance!
