sorry, wanted to correct 1 thing here, there are many place for washrooms. There are 2 huge areas, 1 near the bullet stage and one near the queens stage. Then there are spots with like 4 or so toilets located all over the place. The lineup for ID check was long but you only need to go through it once and then there is hardly a lineup for beer at all.
edit: remember that there are 3 beer tents, so if 1 line looks too long go to another. That's what i did and i only stood in line for about 10-15minutes
Oops I only saw one. And all three were long when I looked.

oh ya i'm not saying they aren't long, cause they are. Just saying some are smaller than others. It seemed like the one in the middle of the park was huge all day long. The one near the bullet stage (the one i used) was long but only about 1/2-3/4 the length of the other. I didn't make it over to the other tent so i don't know how big that one was.

Reckoner to open was incredible, a perfect opening song imo. I went nuts when they played the bends, that was the highlight of the weekend for me because it's the song that made radiohead my favourite band.
I'd say tonight was better than last night (which was damn hard to do) mostly because the crowd seemed more hyped up tonight. Maybe it was because there were more people, but i got there at 2pm and stayed in my spot (about 10 feet from the front on johnny's side (again). Absolutely amazing weekend and probably the best one of my life.

here's the setlist from tonight
but i got there at 2pm and stayed in my spot (about 10 feet from the front on johnny's side (again). Absolutely amazing weekend and probably the best one of my life.
You missed one of the best sets I've ever seen in my life by The Roots. Absolutely unbelievable- I can't believe hip hop can be that good. But you did see the whole Kings of Leon set, which was VERY hard for me to walk away from.

i wanted so bad to go to the roots (one of my favourite hip hop bands) but i just couldn't leave when i had such a good spot saved for radiohead. I was impressed with KOL, it was my 1st time seeing them (to be honest i only started listening to them because they were going to be at the festival) and I'll be checking out more of their stuff. My favourite song of their's (as of now) is Knocked Up but was a little bit disappointed when the lead singer was trying to get the audience to do the humming thing to the song and it didn't seem like many were. I was trying to get more people to do it with me and it worked for some but maybe it was just my area... still a great set. I thought everyone on the main stage was good yesterday and Emily looked absolutely amazing (i went nuts when she mentioned toronto lol, got a couple looks lol). I also saw most of Alberta Cross before i headed over to the main stage to get my spot and was impressed by them aswell.
This was probably the best weekend of my life so i think the festival turned out pretty well
The ferry was nuts getting back on saturday though, took an hour to get on lol
edit: oh ya, just wanted to add that Planet Telex into Idioteque was unbelievable, perfect way to end that set
