They've done the soundcheck tonight (Friday) for the gig tomorrow. Surely this is a first: NewOrderTweet

Have four friends who were there, all seeing New Order for the first time. The agreed it was their favorite set of the festival. :)
Wish they'd gotten to hear Vanishing Point instead of Be A Rebel, but that's a small quibble.
Seems the Bunnymen are a fairly poor live event these days, sadly. I've heard several people/reviews say the same.
It's a shame. I've only seen them once (about 25 years ago) and my mate (a big fan of theirs) warned me that they were a bit hit or miss live. Thankfully they were the former, but they do seem to be living up to the reputation of 'ones to miss' these days.

I saw them last year and Mac performed most of the set sitting down (recovering from Covid, we were told). It was also a bit short. Decided to pass on a gig earlier this year that was actually much closer to where I live, and by all accounts, it was great. Frustrating.

are your four friends really young? i actually feel sorry for anyone that sees bands from the 80's, and it's their first time. for older people like me, that have seen all these bands back in their prime, there's really no comparison.
