NorthernSoul52 Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Remember more than a few summers ago, Annie Mac felt practically inescapable. If there was a stage in a field or a town square, she'd be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Not to rain on the parade of new bands, and not even wading into the "industry plant" conversation that sprung up around them... Saw Wet Leg on the Lytham bill with The Stokes last year, on what ultimately felt like a day of underachieving live prowess. Just couldn't get them at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'll always be a fan of Isle of Wight bands getting some recognition. However, I can't seem to understand why nobody can hear that they aren't just a repackaged, slightly emo sounding CSS. There's nothing new or innovative about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s30foster Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Lots of crossover acts with Victorious and Big Feastival which takes place on same weekend. Their headliners are Sigrid, Tom Grennan and Blossoms. Joining them is Vaccines, Rick Astley, Example, Hot Chip DJ Set, Faithless DJ Set, Mel C, Freya Ridings, Katy B, Baby Queen, Alice Merton, New Hope Club, Cuban Brothers, Duke and more. Wondering whether we'll get Tom Grennan and or Rick Astley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a tour soon, but nothing over summer so far. Edited February 17, 2023 by kelstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Monkey Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 On 2/13/2023 at 4:30 PM, kelstar said: Think they are doing a Park and ride service this year, judging by the website. Being a Portsmouth local, I can imagine it be the Park and ride in Tipner (Access is via the M275) or they will use Lakeside North Harbour, although that may not be available friday as its offices/business park, but it is a good 20-30mins bus ride via motorway from festival site. But I might be wrong. It's normally Lakeside, I've used it on previous years. It's easier getting the bus in from there than driving into town when it's on, just a big queue coming home.

DomDom1984 Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 I don't hold much of an opinion on him either way. I do have an opinion on folk who complain about "sell outs" though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Astley has been dynamite fun every time I've seen him, so that would be a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we’re missing some pre 90s established legend! Look at past line ups and have had the likes of Weller, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Specials, Madness, Nile Rodgers, New Order and the one and only Ray Davies!! I mean Weller could quite easily come back again, no? It’s been a few years. There are others knocking about this year like * The Who * Van Morrison * Duran Duran * Tom Jones Or going back to the 90s I see Placebo are out on tour too.
