North Wales Police have said that the gig over the weekend passed off peacefully, although one man with a head for heights was nabbed on his return to earth.

Chris Wright sent us the above picture of the man on the floodlight gantry during the early part of the Stereophonics gig, echoing many peoples views that the person was idiotic for carrying out such dangerous behaviour.

Ceri sent us the below picture of the man scaling the lights, which are the third biggest in the world, with Angela sending us the video of him enjoying a unique view of the Handbags & Gladrags performance:

Police told us this morning that the unknown floodlight man was cautioned for a public order offence and possession of drugs.

One other man was given a fixed penalty notice for a drink related public order offence, rounding up the policing incidents at the stadium.
