Terrible Festivals - 2020 Edition

HGIIR: Funky’s Gabrielle Aplin story gets a 5 from me.

[Damian]

This just needs Bez, seeing as he’s there, to get onstage with Happy Mondaze to complete the horror.

Ya know, I wouldn’t actually mind this that much if it was the real bands.

But the “cool kids” at the original Spike Island must have absolutely ridiculed and died laughing at people wanting to recreate the music and gigs of 1960. Very strange how some people become their once-nemesis.

Not sure about this use of the elbow bracket.

Is Tom Walker greater than Jake Bugg?
Are Gang of Youths greater than Gabrielle Aplin?

Even if these things are true it just seems harsh on the artists involved.

KAISER MONKEY KILLERS

might go, 5 minutes away and great lols potential

[Roughyed]

Just been on their facebook page also known as the KMK & they have a banner in the style of the NME logo.

Apart from Badness all those names are rubbish although I have a bit of respect if they call themselves “Ultimate” then the name of the band.

[richie]

I like QE2 a bit as a name

But the Hot Red Chili Peppers is easily best

[futilityofendeavour]

JFC

[andrew_wolfpack]

Haaaaa! Reasonable effort by him on the left, and would watch guy number two’s hardcore band.

[Roughyed]

Just watched a video of them on youtube. They must make a load of money doing this. Full stage production and everything.

[tattybye]

There’s a shitload of cash in tribute acts and I’d bet a lot of them make a better living than some of the more ““authentic”” bands DiS covets. There’s a huge market for it.

[futilityofendeavour]

A friend just PMed me this. I don’t agree with everything he says here, but boy, he has a point.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s another shite taste freeze festival. The Amazons are too relevant for this. People are ecstatic in the comments though.

These things really irritate me! And Craig c**ting Charles is at all of them!

Always have a few tokenistic modern acts but the orgasmic reactions of the taste freezers in the comments are just depressing “Get Stereophonics on!” etc. Listen to Doja Cat, c**ts!

[futilityofendeavour]

I’m not posting this because I think it’s terrible, I’m posting this because it doesn’t exist

[guntrip]

Everly Pregnant Brothers

Also, the Wedding Present genuinely will play anything, won’t they

[citysickness]

As one of my favourite bands, it hurts me to see them on all these line-ups.

[1101010]

TBF at least they’re guaranteed Grandpa Simpson will turn up with a name like that.

[guntrip]

I guess it makes a living but it seems wild that like fifteen years ago Gedge was doing a much lower profile thing in Cinerama and living in a California beach house.

[Richie_Ronco]

well he still owns the beach house so can’t all be bad.

[futilityofendeavour]

Aye! But where’s Glen?

[futilityofendeavour]

Give it a rest, FFS MCR.
