Mamba Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'll be applying as its just down the road from me. Would be a good day out, although am I right in thinking there is no alcohol at these things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icewulf Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 When it was at Mote Park last year we had alcohol. Not sure if it was "allowed", we just walked in with Strongbow cans and no-one seemed to notice. Shall certainly be trying for tickets again this year...

Red Day Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 There was a big bar at the Dundee one. But this is Scotland and someone would have paid with their life if there wasn't one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcatraz Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 That line-up doesn't compel me to get a train Swindon. Mind you, if Hendrix was playing i'd probably still avoid Swindon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart1000 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Wow! What a weak line-up!!! Normally, these things are pretty good line-up wise but this year looks awful!! Bands are billed in the wrong order (White Lies playing INMWT first on Sunday, despite having a #1 album, The Script being billed above The Wombats), the line-up is far too R&B-ish (N-Dubz, Tinchy Stryder & Alesha Dixon all playing on Sunday) plus the majority of these acts have played Big Weekends in the last 2-3yrs. I think another headliner will be announced for Sunday night in place of Lily Allen (Sunday has always been the weaker day, The Kooks headlined it last year for God's sake!) and additional acts will be announced for the Sunday to make it look a bit better. Also, Chris Moyles is doing a set of his parody songs on the Saturday, in answer to the earlier question. IMO, that'll be the highlight of the weekend.
