Does anyone reckon Billy will bring out Millie Cyrus for rebel yell or do they only do original material. 
 

I can’t find any songs they do!

No, almost certainly not. Setlist so far is exclusively Gen X and Pistols material, not even any of Billy’s solo stuff.

Still looking forward to it though. A really nice surprise on lineup day!

[Gnomicide]

Just Generation X and later Sex Pistols covers. Can't wait.

[drunk pumpkin]

That sucks but I’ll still be there. Wouldn’t miss it 

[Missrenegade]

I’d love if Billy Idol popped up solo elsewhere to do some of his own stuff too!!!

That would be a highlight

Yes, just as long as he brings Steve Stevens along too.

Friday night Woodsies 19.30 🤔🤣

[MrZigster]

Can't believe I've only just noticed this. Awesome.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Rum selection of Pistols tracks.

Glen Matlock is onsite as well - he could at least join them and do Pretty Vacant or something.

[The Card Cheat]

Interesting setlist for first gig tonight:

I was going anyway but that absolutely cements it!

[Popsider75]

Was originally on my list as I'm an old school punk but to be honest the only Pistols songs they are doing are Swindle era.

I watched The Professionals at Rebellion last year and did more or less same songs. No real need to see them again. Seen the Pistols twice so that'll do.

On balance I decided The Murder Capital and Shame a better contemporary bet.

I was 100% seeing Murder Capital until I saw this. Pretty much forces my hand in that this is a one-off chance of seeing this happen.

Mmm. Few extra thrown in there. Now it's a head scratched. Might have to reconsider. Dilemmas.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Was this actually great? Or terrible? Or both, often at once?

Great imo. Great sound and great fun. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Jonesy and Cookie sounded great.

[paulshane]

I loved it 🙂

[CaledonianGonzo]

I think most walked away reasonably entertained. Not that it drew a ginormo-crowd.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Wanted to see this, but the heat was too much. Was in the Glade instead.

[she bangs the drums]

It was fun. I really wanted to see Murder Capital who clashed so made a plan of seeing both. I even walked from Woodsies to Other Stage in the morning to time how long it took me (7 mins!)

At 3.30 there was still no sign of Murder Capital (it was due to start at 3.15) so ended up walking across for the start of this and was happy again as it was Pretty Vacant.
