now things are back to normal

Paul Heaton next month at Castlefield

Foo Fighters next year Old Trafford Cricket

can't find the old thread

My first one - and I can't even see the acts on this show poster - shows how differently they used to be sold. Didn't realise it was the 25th and last week's was the 50th! Christ.

My one and only actual festival where you camp out was v2004 

Some good stuff, some shite 

Unheard of bands like Kasabian and Killers doing the early slots 

Didn't see them 

Caught a bit of Pink though  

Highlights were charlatans, pixies and nerd 

Enjoyed the thrills as well

I think Kasabian were first on at 12pm, saw The Killers, early afternoon on the 2nd stage. Think we stayed in a hotel in Telford that ran a minibus, fuck camping!

We did the Chelmsford one 

Camped but had access to a hotel where we showered and shit Saturday morning 

I look back with regret I didn't see BRMC, Kasabian, Kings of Leon and maybe Strokes and Muse but too busy in the "back stage" bit getting drunk and stoned with no queues for beer and portaloos 

Probably the best charlatans set of all the ones I've seen though, about 5pm in the hot sun nicely drunk

Ministry in November at Shepherd's Bush. Doing the Damnation Festival in Manchester sat 5th Nov if folk are interested.

Show Trent how it's done, Al!

Used to love drinking in the Dublin Castle in my younger days. Nowadays I'm more of an Ice Wharf sort of man!

Only just realised Michael Monroe is playing with GnR. Love Hanoi Rocks and actually his last single was great -  sadly overlooked Rock n Roll band and got overtaken in the US by all the cartoonish rubbish of LA hair metal, which missed out on all the punk, Bowie, Johnny Thunders influenced stuff from this band.

Went in there when our game at Southend was postponed a few years ago, there’s a cracking history to that gaff

You might be interested to know that Michael Monroe is fronting a reunion tour for Lords of the New Church featuring original Damned guitarist Brian James. Sadly the original lead singer Stiv Bators is no longer with us. 

One of the kids is stewarding at Lytham Festival and said Snow Patrol surprised him last night by being actually good, not sure what he'll make of Duran Duran tonight.

Sounds great 👍 

You can't put your arms around a memory..

I'll be in my Dead Boys t-shirt tomorrow, let all the Adele fans wear their Primark GnR shirts.

Yeah, everybody has played there they reckon. Looking forward to it. Her dad is buzzing. They're playing at the unveiling of the Pete Shelley memorial in Leigh in a couple of weeks too.

Apparently the organisation and sound is shit tonight.

Typical Spurs, can't do anything right.

Libertines on good form tonight. How Pete is still alive, I dunno.

My one festival was this cracker

Yeah looks good that 

Like seeing the old line ups to see who was considered big at the time and spotting the soon to be big bands going through the motions further down the bill

They sounded pretty good at Glastonbury, much better than when I last saw them 4/5 years ago.

And me watched the headliners at smaller stages over the weekend Eminem Friday night, Ash on the Saturday and Rocket From The Crypt on the Sunday.

As usual spent pretty much all of Sunday at the Concrete Jungle stage apart from Rancid on the main stage. 28 Days who were on the concrete jungle stage at the time played to a pretty much empty tent.

Always remember Rancid singer dedicating a song to his dead brother. Then organising a circle pit.

There was 2 'pits' at rancid one full of folk skanking away and the other a mosh pit every so often someone would end up in the wrong one look confused then dissappear back to their nominated pit.

For the oldies.

This was one of the best festival  line ups I recall from my yoof

6 quid for the weekend with camping and parking! You'd not get much change from 300 quid these days.
