Meredith 2003 showcased one of the organisers all-time favourite line-ups.
The flavour changed a bit from the year before. 

 In 2002, for the first year on the new site, plenty of old school rock and roll was the order of the day. In 2003, more gentle elements were in evidence; the sublime pop of The Shins, just before they won the hearts and minds of the alterna-pop world, the hippety-hoppetty rambling poetry of Buck 65; plus The Sleepy Jackson, The Brunettes, Clare Bowditch, Augie March with a horn section at sunset, and Architecture In Helsinki.

Having said that, two of the most supreme rock and roll heavyweights in music history delivered knockout sets: Radio Birdman and Beasts of Bourbon.

Warped turned into uber-Warped on the Friday night, and several newish locals made impressive debuts; Treetops, Ground Components, Spod, Curse ov Dialect, Riff Random.

Here’s a bit of Modey Lemon:

The Outlands Ecoplex Cinema made its first appearance, and for the next few years became the underground hit of the summer.
