just create a Bowie Tent in Williams Green or something. ...

If Despacio is back they might do something akin to this on one might what with that lcd bloke being a bit of a Bowie freak.

There will be some kind of Bowie shrine venue in SL.

Any idea what kind of size we're talking about?  Will it be a proper venue with bands, or just some little thing?

Thanks for the info.

Yeah that was the main part of the tribute. The gig on the screen was the "we're also going to" bit.

You lazy bastard.

fuck it, here's another Space Oddity cover - can't remember if I have already posted it but here we go:

 

from the man himself, Steven Wilson from when I saw him at Hammersmith Apollo (not my vid by the way I take no credit for this)

This is great - lovely tribute.

[eFestivals]

Man Who Sold The World starts from about 4.30...

Really really really hope Beck does his Sound & Vision cover, it's incredible.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The one with the 167 piece orchestra?  Doubt there'd be room in his tourbus.

Steven Wilson is awesome. No idea what he's doing this summer, but he's someone that really should be at Glastonbury. 

Porcupine Tree to headline 2017!

I am a massive SW/PT fan - personally I think he would be a bit shit at G though.

Needs minimum 2 hour set, in the dark, preferably indoors. Otherwise it would get lost totally I reckon.

The fact PT are on indefinite hiatus doesn't help either :'(

I'd be down for Porcupine Tree headlining the JPT one day. Even if they played outdoors I'm still not sure how 'shit' it would be though...they are still a great band even if you take away the lights/screens and give them a shorter set! It wouldn't be ideal but I'd still be excited!

I read she stunk the place out!

Interested in seeing the gig on the screens and hopefully Slick, Leonard, Dorsey, Garson etc playing in some capacity.

Nae interest in seeing a load of random c**ts getting up there and doing Space Oddity. 

Bits of the gig here.
