MancWanderer Posted July 8, 2024 Posted July 8, 2024 Thoroughly enjoyed Lytham on Saturday. Missed Kid Kapichi due to being delayed in a boozer Lightning Seeds were very good. Rick Astley was far better than expected, and Madness nailed it as usual Wish they hadn’t shown the footy tbh. Killed the mood a bit and cut Astley and Madness sets down Never been before but felt like a festival for grown ups. Madness had folk in their 50s/60s/70s bouncing around like loons Definitely on the list for next year Still suffering THE most monumental of hangovers Quote

Couple of summers ago they couldn't sell all the tickets and ended up giving them away. Seems like it's really picked up. Nice on that green but from a few vids I've seen it didn't look too warm Courteeners looked good. Quote

Pricing inside is decent as well for an ‘event’. Not cheap but not rip off Not warm at all on Saturday. 3 layer job 😀 Might do 2 days next year and limit the booze intake on day 1 Quote

Wasn’t there bud- just pointing out a potential absolute mind fuck of genres and bank balances to take in- without resorting to a stadium or a custom built arena! I also recall you being a big fan- sorry if they were a bit shit Quote
