The_Amazing_Oblong Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Decided on this to celebrate my 50th next year. Went along for the first time last year and loved it (PiL were incredible). Music is right up my street and it's just round the corner from me. Used to follow NMA around on tour in my late teens and also saw the Alarm a couple times too. Dreadzone I've seen more recently and thoroughly enjoyed and am already looking forward to Skunk Anansie. Add in Sugar hill gang and Selector and I'm fully sold on the lineup. Tickets bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravey Davey Gravy Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 For me the standout in the announcement is Slaves. Don't let the Radio 1 badge put you off, they are loud, aggressive, funny and have great energy live, especially for a 2 piece. They also have some utterly cracking tunes. They're very sweary, don't know if they'll be asked to censor themselves at a 'Family' festival Ive only ever seen them in small venues, so really looking forward to them. Followed by Skunk Anansie. What a way to start BT 2017! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in that vein ... can we have Amy MacDonald and Inelda May please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What with them playing Slam Dunk on the same weekend, I would have thought LTJ look pretty likely for the Floridian thingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Florida thing was sugarhill gang. Such a shame about LTJ, was gutted when I saw that slam dunk line up. For me LTJ would be perfect for BT Ah well, maybe next time......hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
