2008 Festival
The 2008 festival's capacity was capped at 10,000. Despite taking place in the fourth worst British summer ever recorded, the festival received fantastic reviews, and the weather didn't close any entertainment areas down. Spiritualized, Super Furry Animals, and Pentangle (a worldwide festival exclusive) were the headline acts, joined by Richard Thompson, Iron & Wine, The National, Nina Nastasia, Laura Marling, Radio Luxembourg, Drive-By Truckers, Black Mountain (band), Junior Boys as well as a special night hosted by Domino Records and many, many others played to wildly enthusiastic crowds. A new bar called the "End Up" was added that had the first 24-hour drinks licence at a UK festival. The 2008 festival was widely praised.
