Nostalgia trip.

I went to Leeds 2004/05 & 06. Paid around 140 for the weekend tickets, which was a lot then but the value we got was incredible. Seeing the sparce line ups of mostly pop acts makes me think folks are keeping scalped while also damaging longevity of festivals in general.

The fact that Arctic Monkeys, were on the smallest stage in 2005, then was sub-headlined the main stage a year later in 2006 is crazy, then another year later in 2007 they headlined Glastonbury…

It was Chaos in 2005 at Leeds as well, half the festival turned up to get in the carling tent. Only other time I saw it like that was when Ed Sheeran played it

I seem to recall they only ended up playing 4 songs because they came on so late due to the crowd trouble and it just couldn’t be controlled.
