zico martin Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 I was looking forward to re-watching some of the BBC introducing sets on the iPlayer when I got home but they don't seem to be there, anyone know what's happened to them?

We didn’t there until half 3, so ready for Snow Patrol. They haven’t changed, so I really enjoyed them (last time I saw them was V 2012!) We were pretty much right side of the mixing tower thing until LG we were got closer, becausr the crowd pretty much thinned out. Annoyed he didn’t perform champgne supernova though :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't do Wonderwall which was a bit gutting but oh well, didn't totally expect him to. Would've liked to hear Paper Crown or Chinatown too but oh well.

Not a football fan ?, I would of probably thought people are shouting Coventry because they’re in Coventry haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DareToDibble Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Whilst I appreciate that artists only do small sets at Big(gest) Weekend, Taylor Swift didn't half take the piss. I reckon she was only on stage for about 20-25 minutes. It's crazy going to these small festivals after you've done Glastonbury, everything was an absolute breeze. Although I did queue for a toilet at one stage for longer than I ever have done at any other festival. Best thing to come out of the weekend is my girlfriend now has the festival bug and I've registered her for Glastonbury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownboundTrain52 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Extension of this, since I can't find an original thread: Radio 2 have named most of their bill for their Live in Hyde Park, Festival in a Day malarkey. Manics, All Saints, Carrie Underwood, Lenny Kravitz, Rita Ora and the Band of Hope so far with a headliner to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericode Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Manics and Kravitz has me tempted but I'll wait and see who the headliner is. Would take a name I'm a big fan of to part with £50 plus travel costs to London mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownboundTrain52 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 There's a rumour that the headliner to be revealed is Roger Daltrey playing solo - which given the rarity of such gigs is a bit of a coup but still somewhat of a step down from the level of previous top-of-the-bill acts. The Who themselves would be fine - but Daltrey solo seems a bit weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main rumour is that Kylie is the headliner which seems likely given that her tour starts that month and she's on Radio 2 on Friday when the tickets go on sale.

NickisGinger Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I’m suprised, I thought most of them would of been from Biggest Weekend. Don’t understand Rita Ora being there though. But All Saints, yes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattymooz Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Has anyone been to it before? I'm guessing the set up is similar to BST? Also does anyone know when the BBC Introducing stage lineup is announced? Thinking of taking my mum and my aunt for their first festival experience as they both love Kylie and Lenny. Guessing there is still 1 act to be announced too based off how many people performed last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
