I thought with this they would have done the stage splits but as of yet nope.

Can you or someone else clarify what Choose 90s is? Seems a club night with others playing according to Google? I'm a little lost.

Yup, but they have a house band, which is presumably what will be at the festival. 

Like a less good version of Rhythm of the 90's

Apparently that is enough for some people.

Worth noting Brian Wilson has postponed some very upcoming dates due to surgery. Expects to be back round in time for this but I guess any complications and it could cause trouble.

It's definitely weaker this year to me than previous.

defo worth getting there early to catch them, based on how they were last night.

Only seen them once before and that was when they headlined Summer Sundae in 2006, can't wait to see them again!

ahhhhh ... I think I must have seen them there too. I was trying to remember where i'd seen them before, and that must have been one of them.

I'll be down there, either dragging my mates along or storming down on my own.

Everything Everything vs Brian Wilson clash will be a tough one for me. See how I feel on the evening I suppose

Just noticed Rhythm of the 90's said on twitter they wont be playing this year. Bit shocked at that considering they must be a cheap booking and they could be whacked on any stage really. They said they're gutted they haven't been booked for this years so its not them saying no. Seem to be playing other Global fests as well. Strange one. I do notice Victorious don't seem too keen on repeat bookings though, they usually don't apply this to unsigned acts however, wonder if they will book Slow Readers this year then...

Very very odd that. They're managed by the guy who books at least one of the stages if not more, wonder if he's been moved on or that?

Rhythm of the 90s are not and have never been managed by Nick Courtney. He is a local promoter that booked the band for certain shows over the last couple of years. Unfortunately it seems as if they have fallen out due to a dispute over something. Nick has now decided to find another 90s band and blocked ROT90s from playing anywhere in Portsmouth!

A family member tried to book ROT90s for a birthday event last year, Nick Courtney was who they were contacting about it, this came through the ROT90's site - Nick quoted a price etc - So is he just some form of a promoter? Surely minor bookings like that would be directly handled by a 'manager'?

I believe this is due to NC wanting exclusivity over all Portsmouth bookings. This maybe why they dont work with him anymore. In my experience, promoters are some of the worst people in the music business. All about the £'s.....!

Fair enough. Thanks for the info.

Their Facebook is teasing about ‘Peas and love’, possible new stage? Was thinking that is was gonna be something to do with LGBT pride (Southampton’s pride is that weekend) but Years and Years are on the Castle Stage.

I think its just a little chill out area sort of thing. Probably where the Butserfest stage was last year, cus that part of the site is really underutilised

Probably looking into this way too much but Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters is doing some UK dates in August, maybe he'll do a festival or two as well (the most southern date on his tour is London).

I'm really hoping The Correspondents aren't gonna clash with Prodigy otherwise I fairly clash free.

[Tommy101]

I assume this is only a best guess based on last years times and poster orders but someone (who isn't me) has done a clashfinder.

Edit: If that's correct I might come a bit later on the Saturday. Still plenty to see though.

I'll be straight in on Sat for Happy Mondays, are they any good live these days? I saw Shaun Ryder at a Gorillaz show last year and he wasn't looking his peak.

I made that dude, yeah it was based on last years times, the Friday isn't though. Seems we are getting less acts on main this year so guess it will be a bit different. 

I was going to go back and do the full thing but I've not got back to it.
