Oxfam's summer tour: festivals review 2006

Lilly Allen supports Oxjam

Boasting one of the best line-ups of the summer - including Arctic Monkeys, Editors, Paul Weller, Franz Ferdinand and Primal Scream - even the rain couldn't put a dampener on T.

Our celebrity-seeking backstage team were there drumming up support for Oxjam, our month long music festival taking place in October. They used their schmoozing skills to the max - Colin and Edith, Franz Ferdinand, Lily Allen and The Magic Numbers were just a few of the people who took the time to show their support.

And a quite amazing 2,800 of you signed our petition to make health care and education available for all - thank you!

how was it for you?

It's been awesome!

We've met so many cool people who've all taken action, even in a small way.

The music has been great too. Seeing Lily Allen at T when she'd just been made Number 1 was really cool - she sprayed a bottle of champagne over the crowd to celebrate!

Loads of ace pics from hot and sunny Leeds.
Glastonbury 2007 in photos
We were there, talking climate change, selling wedding dresses and stewarding our socks off.

Comment by Mary Mc from Farnham, UK ''Hi there I really loved reading about everyones experiences and am quite interested in festival stewarding, are you not at T in the Park this year though? I think im going to be in Scotland at festival time and wanted to go somewhere a bit closer.''

Our VIP ticket competition winner Kate Murphy reports back on parrots, pink men and z-list celebs at V Stafford. Oh, and she watched some bands too.

angry about poverty?
how angry are you about poverty?
All summer we were taking photos of festival-goers pulling angry faces - all to show how angry people at festivals are about poverty. We've got a gallery of nearly 700 terrifying faces - the best one as judged by us will win a year's worth of top CDs courtesy of Universal Music.
