Why on earth would you want a back stage pass? Its cack and only houses some portacabins and very expensive bar for the laminate brigade.

The other Rich will confirm this but bands prices appear to have increased this year, not sure if other promoters can confirm this or if it is just a case of BT using all our favours.

Hi Paul, we considered people with smaller monitors when we were doing it - people moaned before that it was too wide

The size of monitor shouldn't matter though mate. I know eFestivals was displayed similarily before the last upgrade and it made it difficult for certain members to view the page clearly.

It only displays about 50% of the width of the screen, means a lot of white space which can also cause problems.

Also (in Firefox anyway) using the zoom feature to increase the text size, this causes the page to display incorrectly. See below -

Not sure if this is a programming issue or the way it should display but never noticed it on other websites when zooming.

Grand Prix - Just tunes.

You could do worse than promote Zion Train to a headline slot if it gets that bad. But all seems odd. Given the current financial climate, thought bands would be cheaper if anything. Maybe you'll have to wait until closer to the fest itself when maybe prices may drop?

As my Lightning Seeds suggestion went down like a lead balloon I offer the further suggestions of :

Easy Star All-Stars

The Destroyers

Wilko Johnson

All of whom played excellent sets at Beautiful Days this year ...

*waits for more negative feedback *

[stutheblue]

Destroyers would be good.

Zutons maybe

Saw Doctors (loved their set in the beer tent)

Mystery Jets - request from son

[timespeedsup]

Nope we contracted one of the Sunday acts (second to headline) and waiting on the headliner(offer accepted but awaiting contract). We have kind of done the same as we did on the Friday this year. We have a large band second billing but again another fantastic band take over the closing set - these two will not dissapoint as we booked them on the back of requests. I am really gutted to say its not the Lightning Seeds
