Can’t imagine Clint Mansell will be turning down Hollywood commissions to do this.

I could sneer at this, but I have actually seen all of PWEI, Jesus Jones, GLC, Miles Hunt and Kingmaker 4AD live in the past 10 years. The TV LOVES a 90s nostalgia show in fairness…

One of these days, a shine on festival is going to tip over from, ā€˜that looks ok’ to ā€˜that actually might be good fun’ and i might try to go.

I would gladly enjoy the ā€œraveā€ section of their Minehead weekend, I can’t lie.

Yeah, that’s where it starts, now just a few more top acts and I’m getting tempted

There’s some fun to be had with some of those. The two guys left in GLC are a good craic, etc but it does look suspiciously like there will be a lot of old men with acoustic gutars playing also ran hits. Get a quick trip to the dam out of it, though.

Looked up Goldie Lookin’ Chain… this has to be a joke, 24 albums? TWENTY FOUR ALBUMS? THREE greatest hits?

Actually really like the first Greatest Hits, some bangers on that

The only good thing about this is finally living my dream of seeing a supergroup of Ringo Starr, Roger Daltrey, Bruce Dickinson, Matt Bellamy and Som Wardner.

Not for me this:

That may be the case but that line up certainly doesn’t deserve to be in this thread.

Also shouldnt be allowed to have clingers-on as support acts. Razorlight opening for Kaiser Chiefs is bleak. Give the slot to a band who deserve the exposure not a band who literally headlined Reading and Leeds

Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott sold out. Depressing.
