More of a festival than simple a performance, Barclaycard presents had expanded on last year, hosting four stages and a small festival-worth's food stalls. It might not quite match east London's food markets, but there's plenty to choose from (including a couple of decent veggie options!).
The only downside (except for accidentally positioning yourself behind the 'treehouse' to watch the main stage) are the horrific bar queues. For a quicker turn around, head left, but still expect a long wait, so pick a bar with a good view.
Thursday's one-before-headliner Beck had the crowd dancing wherever they stood, with a surpassingly number of memorable tracks, especially those from his Futurama appearances.
The Strokes may look tired, but they still bring energy to every fan-favourite track. Frontman Julian Casablancas struggles a little with stage banter, resorting to typically British chats about the weather, but his synthesised vocals are as powerful as ever.
