Nu-metal may be old news but Fred Durst’s Limp Bizkit still drew a sizeable crowd to the main stage on Sunday. Even more had gathered by the time Blink 182 appeared. The Californian trio, who reached the peak of their powers around the turn of the millennium, seemed a strange choice of headliner. However, finely crafted pop-punk songs such as What’s My Age Again? were greeted with gusto from a crowd more than happy to party like it was 1999.

A slow start but a strong finish.
