V Festival Was Dizzees

V Festival was big. it was definatly dizzees. everywhere i went i seemed to hear people talking about how big dizzee was. it showed me how far he has come and how commercialy recognised he really is. it was good to see so many people raving to him. i got a feeling that 'holiday' tune will do a lot.



Tinchy was big too. i was a little dissapointed that he didnt play many old more 'grime' tunes and especially 'follow'. He did manage to fit 'rollin' in tho. i can understand why he kept it with the new material so people would get intrested and go buy the album. i cant fault him for that. mind you that tune with the 'your not alone' hook seemed to get a real good reaction.

Didnt get to see N-dubz cos the divs at V thought it would be a good idea to put them on together. God knows why they didnt think it would be a good idea to put them on at seperate times seeing as a lot of people would be into the both of them. thats V for ya.

OASIS = WASTEMEN. funny how they can play stafford and drink till 4 in the morning then get a bad throat and not be able to do chelmsford. Waste. Snow Patrol as a replacement = massive PAR.

High contrast made up for it all tho. they had a banging set and it was a proper mad one.

Shouts to Santino, Harvey, TBone, Page and J Con.

Good do

Worthy Acts At V Festival

V Festival Friday. Im going Chelmsford and looking forward to it. Seems like the popularity of grime related acts has definitely gone up as there are a few artists at V this year.



Firstly the man who seems to appear on this blog a lot 'Tinchy Stryder' is playing The Arena on Saturday. I watched the footage of tinchy at Glastonbury and was well impressed with how far he has come as an artist.



Next we got the other big break through act of the year 'N-Dubz' playing The Arena on Saturday. Weather you love them or hate them they have done a lot this year and again im impressed with how far they have come.




One I defiantly wont be missing is 'Dizzee Rascal'. Dizzee played last year and was class. Im sure this year will be massive too. Hopefully he brings 'The Newham Generals' with him. He is on The 4Music Stage on Saturday.



A big man in the scene 'Mike Skinner' will be there. 'The Streets' are playing The Arena on Sunday. I see them at reading a few years back and they were heavy. Looking forward to this one.




A surprise American rap act in the way of 'Asher Roth' will be playing The Arena on Saturday. I aint heard much of him but i hear that he is a good rapper. From what i made of him he was like the geeky eminem. I recon ill have a butchers.



New superstar 'Mr Hudson' is playing The 4Music Stage on Saturday. Hudson has been picked up by Kanye and been making a lot of noise since. He used to be a big player in the UK scene in the 'Deal Real' days being a sort of rap/band combination with Mr Hudson and The Library. Again its good to see how far he has come.



'Oasis' will be playing the V Stage on Sunday. That should be big. Oasis are definatly someone id like to see in my life.



Pete Doherty is there playing The Arena on Saturday. I got a lot of time for Pete. I think he writes good songs and if you avoid the media hype you will see it.



And lastly the legends that are 'The Specials' are playing the V Stage on Saturday. I see them at Brixton and had a do. I recon this could be a highlight of the festival.
