So if The Common also said they had big news this week, reckon we could get an announcement every day until the weekend? Perhaps another area tomorrow, one on Friday, then the big poster on Monday? Or something...

I'll think we'll have to wait for the big poster until all the stages are done. Same as last year.

Now, who had 1pm on the 27th in the sweepstake?

It's the Glade I'm looking forward to the most, of the smaller areas I think.  Leftfield had some good acts last year, one of the best they've had musically I thought.

aye I spend most of my time at the Glade, 

 

but it's good to see Idris Elba is back again

No idea what part you are but it is absolutely glorious here in New Moston. The weather is mad as hell at present.

It's desolate post-industrial bleak Doctor Zhivago-esque landscapes like that that inspired so much great music from Manchester and it's surrounding *environs*.

    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
    • Maybe you need a groovy mayor who can get you the money.   Anyway, looks like mayors going to get a whole load of fiscal devolution and greater powers...so best everyone gets one, a decent one, and get a load of Madchesterism.
