In spite of a freak storm which flattened the security fencing two days before and some torrential downpours on the day itself, the 2009 Hevy Music Festival was a resounding success.Feeder performed brand a new song from their album Renegades for the first time, with this one being "Sentimental", although the title track was soundchecked, it wasn't performed for the main show. Gary Numan performed a typically energetic set including the classics "Are 'Friends' Electric?" and "Cars". Rainwater damage to his guitar amplifier caused a delay which shortened the subsequent sets but all were completed before the 11 pm curfew.
