With iconic acts such as the Vengaboys, Boyzlife and Cascada, the festival was ready to up its game even more than previous years. By adding an additional festival to their portfolio, festival organisers trialed Retrospective festival on the Friday, the day before the main event. Although this event was smaller when it came to stages, it still packed a punch and had festival goers warmed up for the next day. The atmosphere was electric on both days and everyone was in high spirits.
