dentalplan Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 To be fair, it is a rock festival, and Queen are a rock band. But yeah, nobody wanted to see that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiceOneJeff Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Well, clearly they don't As for recognising it was a mistake, it was a comment they made on a FB post they made. I'm sure the more bored amongst this forum will have to time to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiceOneJeff Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) LOL!!! You said "dear". You are so funny!!! Well it wasn't FB or Twitter http://www.sonisphereforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11847&p=657575#p657575 Not a direct "we made a mistake" but along those lines. Prepared for the angsty fallout.

mrtourette Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 No worries, I'll assume that the organisers actually acknowledging Queen was a mistake is somewhere else. Unless they didn't of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiceOneJeff Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Doktored is the art director behind Kili Live and runs the Twitter feed. It's not exactly acknowledging that Queen were a wise decision. Yep, that was my point. Edited November 25, 2013 by NiceOneJeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiceOneJeff Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Yes. He's very open on twitter and the forums about stuff around the festival. I'm sure he even had an argument with Andy Copping in the early days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiceOneJeff Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Well I was replying to the post in this thread which should have been clear - I hope it is now. No not busy - the fact the art director leant towards that inclination should be enough. I'm sorry for implying that Kili Live themselves made a statement explicitly saying "We made a mistake booking Queen". Still, if you and others could please keep bringing this up, that would help everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t8yman Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 This thread is hilarious, Soni fucked up by booking Queen, there was many a discussion had on here at the time. I blame the whole FMC thing (which was a masterstroke by the organisers IMHO) just about everyone on the official forums simply became a marketing minion for the festival, which was what frustrated me so much about the official forums, any criticism of the festival was shouted down with great fury, at least this place was the one place you could criticise them for their non existent announcements and frankly misguided bookings. And the Queen thing was funny as fook - "they are a rock band, its a rock festival" - well we all know what a stroke of genius that booking was don't we. And now we are back to square one - a festival genre being diluted between 2 different festivals when there arent really enough acts to do 1 festival with much variety every year.
