Went to the Lovebox festival in Victoria Park, east London, this afternoon. It's a two day festival set up by Groove Armada, who played later on this evening.
Two highlights were Tinariwen (Mali desert blues - they were all dressed in their desert robes and head scarves) and Hot Chip (geeky as normal).
But t he main reason for going was the B-52s. Seventeen years after we'd seen them play in Christchurch, Simon and I were once again the front row to watch them. They've aged with various degrees of success, but still sounded pretty good! They finished off with a storming Planet Claire and Rock Lobster.
Also had a go on the chairoplanes which were way scarier than I remembered as a child!!
