TabbyCool Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Ok, I might have to unleash the list now... let me think... probably easiest to list them alphabetically... Ash Billy Corgan Blink 182 Blur Bowling For Soup Bush Brian Wilson Capdown Cave In Charlatans David Bowie Delays Divine Comedy Edwin Collins Electric Six Elvis Costello Feeder Flaming Lips Foo Fighters Franz Ferdinand Futureheads Garbage Good Charlotte Hayseed Dixie Idlewild Jools Holland Kaiser Chiefs Killers Korn Levellers Manic Street Preachers Marilyn Manson Metallica Mew Muse Paul McCartney Peaches Placebo Pogues Primal Scream Prodigy Puddle Of Mudd Pulp Radiohead Redsnapper REM Rolf Harris Starsailor Stereophonics Suede Sum 41 Supergrass System Of A Down The Darkness The Used The Tears Therapy? They Might Be Giants Van Morisson Weezer Wheatus There are others, but I can't remember them right now. Not all of those are bands I particularly like, some were random festival bands (The Darkness!) others were support acts (Edwin Collins being a prime example!).

Loz Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Ok, I might have to unleash the list now... Divine Comedy Okay, that's just weird, because I came into this thread to ask if anyone had seen them (ie him) live. I'm surprising my partner with Divine Comedy tickets as a birthday gift (they're her fave band of all time, she's obsessed). I was just wondering what to expect really... usually I choose to see loud bands that jump around the stage, but I'm guessing Neil Hannon doesn't go in for that. So... what can I expect?!

I saw them in 2003 at Old Trafford Cricket Ground, they were third on the bill, before Suede and David Bowie. They were pretty good, no jumping around though! lol It rained a lot though, got totally soaked to the skin! :-( Good gig though, if you like them, you should enjoy it, they play well live.

TabbyCool Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 A lot of them were at festivals, I've been to Glastonbury 4 times so I get to see a lot of bands there that I wouldn't necessarily see otherwise. But I love going to gigs anyway and a lot of them have been pretty cheap (I paid £8 to see Mew, £12 to see Bowling For Soup). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good if loads of bands that you like play at a festival because that would mean you don't have to wait around for the one artist or band that you like you can just enjoy the whole show.

I think if you have the money do what you want, but that is ridiculous compared to £12 for Bowling For Soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get restless if there are too many bands I like at a festival! I need time in between bands to actually do stuff, otherwise I end up wandering and missing bands I want to see. It's not the case at a lot of festivals where there's nothing to do but watch bands, Glastonbury is huge, you could walk around for hours and not see everything. I've been there 4 years in a row and I think there are still parts of the site I haven't seen. There are loads of different stalls and performers and stuff wherever you go. When you get tired of wandering around, it's always nice to sit down with a nice cool drink too :-) Last year I only saw a few bands, the year before I saw maybe 2 or 3 complete sets and spent the rest of the time wandering around doing other stuff! *Is sad that there is no Glastonbury this year* :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
