Magical moment from Tinie Tempah

REVIEW: Tinie Tempah - Vodafone stage, Friday

REVIEW: Tinie Tempah - Vodafone stage, Friday

Crowd: Young, hotpanted and unaffected by the rain - the punters marched from the campsites in droves for Tinie Tempah's set at the Vodafone Stage on Friday evening. Written in the Stars got a big roar from the crowd - but so did everything the Nigerian-born British rapper had to show for his trip to Punchestown.

High: Tinie's guitarist's piano guitar - we want one.

Low: The sweat marks. We prepared for rain, not for muggy weather.

Quote: "Did anybody notice? Because the sun just came out... I want this to be a magical moment at Oxegen." Oh, Tinie, we noticed.

Verdict: It was only ever going to go one way: Tinie's the biggest garage star of the UK for a reason.

Stars: **** (and a half) out of 5
