We're at Leeds Festival

Whilst we've been getting our huge tent ready over the last few days, thousands of festival-goers have been setting up camp in the lovely grounds of Bramham Park just outside Leeds. The traffic round the site has been a nightmare, but most people are in now, and although the music on the stages doesn’t start until later today, the festival is definitely in full-swing, and the atmosphere is great.

Thursday night at Leeds is always good fun, and last night was no exception. Our tent was crammed full of excited (and a bit drunk!) punters up for a dance and a shout. Our resident DJ Jon was nailing it on the decks, the music was awesome! And so the dancing went on until 3am - what a night...

We've had our tent open for an hour or so now this morning, to provide well-needed coffees and paninis to some hungover girls and boys. The music starts at midday, and I think Pearl Jam are headlining Main Stage tonight - can't wait. More blogs, and some photos, to come.

Wish you were here? Didn't manage to get a ticket this year? Send us in a comment or a question about this year's event and we'll give you the inside knowledge!

The Oxfam tent was once again the site of the finest coffee at Leeds.
Fairtrade coffee of course :-)
As a sleep-deprived punter who wakes at 7am whatever time he went to bed the provision of quality caffeine is an essential part of the morning.
Thanks again Oxfam
