Was supposed to see TFF at Shepherd's Bush on Monday - their most-intimate UK for decades? - and I had to pull out due to sickness. *sob* Simple Minds are an odd one. Too big for a minor slot at Glastonbury, but not known enough by the kidz for a big one? Great musicianship these days, with none of the late-80s pomposity... Hoping to catch Tears for Fears again soon. Just now, LoraMaze said: I heard Vengaboys everywhere I went this year, I was amazed they weren’t playing. I reckon they will next year…and they’ll draw a massive crowd BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A photographer I know had to take pics of them at a festival recently, had never heard of them and was horrified by the massive crowd they drew 🤣 He was like “what is this shit??” it’s nostalgic GOLD, that’s what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Croc Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Sophie Ellis-Bextor Was actually surprised she wasn't there this year as I know she does festival performances, would be great fun in the evening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To those asking for the Vengaboys, if you want crap 90s/2000s Dutch dance acts, there are about 30 summer "festivals" I can point you to in the Netherlands.

chickenfire Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Considering the size of McFly (pretty much an arena band), Steps feels like the obvious choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipine Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Another vote for Erasure (why have they never played?!). Also, maybe a bit niche, but one of my favourites - Voice of the Beehive .. they’re a lot of fun live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 I would love Erasure, but remember seeing them supporting Robbie Williams, and it was one of the more disappointing performances I've caught by an artist I truly love. Willing to give them a second crack though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would also like to see Annie Lennox, Alicia Keys and a personal one that I always hope for Tracy Chapman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 I've seen them live a couple of times and it's been great. They were promoting new albums both times so the setlist did feature the usual smattering of new material - and Andy Bell does tend to witter a bit between songs. But otherwise it could be a bangerfest of Pet Shop Boys - type proportions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was meant to see them in May before they hooked the tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Croc Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Not strictly pop acts but in the similar ilk of the likes of Scouting for Girls and The Hoosiers I wouldn't turn my nose down at some more nostalgic noughties indie bands such as Pigeon Detectives and The Feeling. Just Jack would also be a laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught a bit of Sean Paul in the John Peel the other year which wasn't amazing TBH. Maybe I need to rethink my selections😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
