I feel like I've been bombarding you guys with posts about T in the Park over the past few days, and although I did promise myself I'd keep the fangirl flailing to a minimum on this blog - I had such a good time I just can't keep it all to myself.
Sunday was a weird day for me, as although I was sad the festival was ending and I wanted the last day to drag, I also couldn't wait for it to get to the headline slot as Arctic Monkeys were playing. When they finally entered the stage after Jake Bugg (who was amazing by the way, and we even managed to get him to smile once or twice), despite the fact that the whole 'oh my god they actually exist' thing had worn off by this point, I felt my whole body buzz with excitement.
Alex Turner was on form as always, and they played all the favourites like Cornerstone, 505 and Dancing Shoes, as well as new classics like Arabella and Do I Wanna Know. The set seemed to sort of lapse in the middle though, I'm not sure whether it was where we were stood, or perhaps because the crowd wasn't as big as usual because Example was headlining another stage, but the energy seemed to drop considerably through tracks like I Wanna Be Yours and Fireside. It could have even been because the band concentrated so much on their new material, but even Fluorescent Adolescent didn't muster up the energy I had assumed it would.
Despite that though, the set they played was still fantastic, and Alex's attempt at raving to the music that could be heard from Example's performance in between songs was one of the best things I have ever seen - that's not even an exaggeration, I promise.
