Good start for them. Already looks better than the ****ing Big Weekend where I sat through Dizzee, Florence and Rihanna. Still, at least it was free.

Really? Doesn't say anything on the site about having to be from Manchester.

Yeah I think they only did that because it was a free event

You don't have to live in Manchester, general sale.

No they wasn't, you had a greater pool of tickets to select from for London Olympic Boroughs....but it was open to any one who could get on and book tickets (I think they've kept this method now for them all.)

As their charging 25 quid I doubt there will be any selection bias ...Man I wish this was in London, this could be great! Already a nice selection of acts! (Might tempt me if Metronomy is the Saturday date actually )

EDIT:

Damn just saw the link, The National is the saturday date

Metronomy is Friday and The National is Saturday:

£25 plus a tenner on the coach to Manchester... definitely gonna give it a shot!

[dentalplan]

Still more acts to come? I'm keen on The National and the Friday undercard, frustratingly.
