Peanutsinger Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I didn't anticipate anyone as big as The Happy Mondays. Not a band that I've really been into, but I think even I'll go along and watch them live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincoveces05 Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Slightly annoyed as it's too late for me to get the Thursday off work, seen them 7 or 8 times before and always been brilliantly shambolic. People there will have a blast Edited July 12, 2017 by cincoveces05 spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincoveces05 Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Nice idea but unfortunately I work in the same hospital as my GF and another couple of people who are coming in the same group, might look a bit sus if we all fall ill on the same day. At least will have a lot more energy for Friday night's awesome Glow Tent line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerchick Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Amazing Thursday night now! Forget Sunday night! Thursday, Friday and Saturday are enough for me. Two weeks away can't pass quick enough! Very, very excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, if there's nothing else I fancy then I'll watch these, but I'm quite liking the main stage for Thursday so unless they're opening it earlier, I'm guessing HM won't be on the main?

ramragon Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I can't remember being let down by the Thursday line up before so I make a point of getting the tickets as soon as they come out. James, ash, charlatans, Franz, happy Mondays are all the right sort of bookings for Thursday night entertainment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre using the happy mondays as main support to franz. Looks like theyre opening the stage at 3pm this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They best have the gates/ traffic working smooth then otherwise there will be a lot of people not even set up camp by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramragon Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Seemingly 3pm ish. Yeah, it'll just push the people to come earlier in the day. Thursday line up better than sunday now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronniebadger Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I've volunteered to work, sure wristbands aren't dished out until Friday morning. Hope this isn't the case really would like to see the Mondays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyg1990 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Booked my Thursday ticket now...leaving midlands at 1pm wont leave me much time for a 3pm opening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramragon Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 There won't be anyone major on stage until around 5pm unless you're interested in the lower down line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyfletcher Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 The Shimmer Band are the first act on Thursday. Well worth checking out. Shame they are on the main stage as think they would have more impact in a smaller environment, but i would see them all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfield Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Dont misss SEA POWER!!! Hopefully there will also be 2 bears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooly JP Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Man and the Echo are the must watch for me on the Thursday, looks like a really good strong start to the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob D Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Probably not going to match the general feeling on here, but always felt that the Happy mondays were one of the most over rated bands of a generation. Listening to their music now and it sounds very dated, but even in their prime they weren't great and more famous for Sean's behaviour and having a halfwit lunatic shaking maracas. Still a good addition, but not sure they warrant the levels of excitement being thrown at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
