Festivals in the city. There's something not right about saying that. Surely they should be in the middle of rolling hills with views of cattle and annoyed farmers. Well what with Download last year in Hyde Park and T in the Park in Glasgow, city festivals are all the rage.
Miami is having a stab at it too. The Ultra Festival is over two days this weekend. Primarily Dance orientated to tie in with the Winter Music Conference, it gives a good go at packing a lot in. They managed to hire in the stilt walkers, but annoyingly I didn't see one juggler. Still some stuff to learn, these Yanks..
Last night I managed to see, in no particular order; Miss Kitten, Deep Dish, Princess Superstar, Tiesto, Tommy Sunshine, Shiny Toy Guns and, er, The Cure. With no album to promote Robert "bob" Smith and chums played as close to a greatest hits set as possible. everything from 'Friday i'm in love', 'Let's got to bed', 'Lullaby', 'A Forest' to the double encore of 'Close to me' and 'Boys don't cry'.
Everything was upbeat and the rain of earlier in the day gave way to a lovely sunset over the causeway. It isn't Glastonbury but after a few vodka's most punters there didn't seem to mind...
