I saw them back in 2010 supporting Gorillaz and they were fantastic. I'd happily see them again, although not Gorillaz after their atrocious Lollapalooza (Paris) set.

But being on Radio 2, it's likely to be an older band, and therefore have an older fanbase. Older people are more likely to just get music news from the Radio; they don't tend to wake up and think "oh, I'll go online and see what's happening in the music industry, I wonder what the folks on efests are talking about" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 That's why ELO reformed though - all their other gigs followed on from headlining Radio 2's Hyde Park shindig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think I prefer it to Concorde 2 now, they're starting to book bigger/more impressive acts on the regular too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
