Rushing across the stage and the cameras perfectly positioned to capture all the crazy facial expressions. 'What's wrong with our lead guitarist?' asked Jack, and they began the finest piece of comedy ever to grace the main stage at Donnington in the form of 'Beelzeboss'. Launching into several numbers from their new album 'Rise Of The Fenix', they engaged the crowd between songs with hilarious banter and taking the mick out of rock star behaviour. Watching a cock-shaped phoenix rise out of the back of the stage as Jack Black and Kyle Glass had their robes removed immediately set the tone, the audience knew this was going to be a LOT of fun. Ones to watch closely over the next few years. The crowd was noticeably smaller than Turbonegro previously, but those that were there were treated to a great slice of modern British rock. Mike Duce encouraged punters to mass crowd surf whilst a guitar string was repaired and threatened to fire his guitar tech for several issues but all in good humour. They were seriously tight and deserve their reputation as a superb live act. Lower Than Atlantis struggled with several technical issues but handled themselves so professionally that other British bands should take note. The band is famed for their dressing up, although the guitarist did remind me of Dot Cotton from Eastenders. As The Duke of Nothing enters the stage draped in a union jack and declaring us all citizens of Norway, they proceed to deliver a set full of songs about sex, good times and at one point a crowd section divided between 'Wooahs' and 'Erection' that has mixed levels of enthusiasm. Over on the Zippo Encore stage, Turbonegro are making sure that it is party time. Several people are singing along to numbers old and new and by the time they finish, there isn't a person leaving the 3rd stage not feeling completely blown away. Their whirling dervish of a front man leads an incredible 30 minutes of ballsy rock that comes from the pit of his lungs to the faces of increasing numbers of smiling people that get turned onto their infectious grooves and screaming choruses.

'You know what time it is? Time to DIE!' And so concludes an incredible set from Turbowolf.
