Did anyone go? I found this review from a Scotish newspaper:
While cult New York quartet The Rapture played to a small but enthusiastic core audience, the masses were drinking the anthems of Coldplay.
They drifted through a mellow set of piano ballads with only the occasional stand-out track - the beguiling Don’t Panic knocked spots of new songs such as the bland In Your Place and the sub-U2 strains of Clocks. The special guest, Ian McCulloch, joined the band for an encore of his band’s Echo and the Bunnymen’s old track Lips Like Sugar but, on balance, it was probably too downbeat a finale to a major festival. But the fireworks made up for it.
Seems kinda harsh! I also found a few pictures but, they're small and only of Chris:
