who are you looking forward to most? (again)

[Joe-]

I think I'll be watching frightened rabbit during their set

[llcoolphil]

It's okay, no one will read it.

[Ed Leaf]

Kyte open on Friday. Might be there for that. They won the Beat comp.

[llcoolphil]

The Beat's Friday main stage opening competition was won by Kyte.

Slightly strange that a band with a national profile who've already played the festival would enter such a contest, but there you go.

[Ed Leaf]

No flies on you eh Ed

[llcoolphil]

Well obviously Phil I'm mentioning them in a thread about who I'm looking forward to seeing rather than being the bearer of fresh news.

:P

[Ed Leaf]

Now you're just reading things from my words. And the answer has always been Teenage Fanclub & Steve Mason.

[Bourbon]

Oh - by the way, all those who have had a little whine and a moan about any of this year's lineup (me included ) should think themselves lucky that we haven't got Peter Andre on the bill, unlike those lucky??? souls going to V!

[butchwade]

Haha! I thought the same. I am SO jealous

I'm only going on the Sunday, I can't wait for Mumford and Sons (predictable some may say, but their album is brilliant!) and Frightened Rabbit. Also will be checking out Milton Jones in the comedy tent!

[llcoolphil]

I saw the Mumfords at Loopallu last year and they were superb.

I'm assuming that 11 months on, with the album out and loads of gigs under their belts, they will be even better.

Hi,

I'm the singer in Rugosa Nevada from Derby, and we were announced as one of the local bands playing on the Rising Stage this year on Dean Jackson's 'The Beat'.

Hope you can come see us and give us a chance to impress you.

Can't wait!

Dan

Absolutely stormed it at Glasto this year - to the extent I reckon they'd be able to add a zero or two to their fee on the strength of it!
