I kicked off the season at Wychwood last year and ended at Bestival.

It was my first Wychwood - a solo mission. I thoroughly enjoyed it, friendliest festival in years.

Could we have Country Joe Macdonald back again please? would also love to see Banco there.

One band that I can't get enough from various Festivals in 2007 is Shychild, they did the circuit in the Summer and rocked every time. If you could get them - would be fantastic.

Saw this post and had to give this band a shout!

Local lads from cheltenham, i have seen them play live about 5 times now and they just keep getting better.

Please check them out, they have a great festival feel about them.

I'd like to put in a request for the Red Hot Chilli Pipers. They are utterly superb live, with a mix of modern rock and traditional Scottish tunes, all played on the bagpipes. Well that and bass, guitar and drums as well as 3 sets of bagpipes. If they are available they are guaranteed to get the festival crowd going.

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned Deacon Blue. Saw them last year and they sound great. They would be an excellent headline act as would Justin Currie (formerly Del Amitri) who is still playing live.

Oh and I know they have been at the festival the past two years in a row, but can we have 3 Daft Monkeys back. They are utterly superb and one of those bands once you see them live you cannot fail to like.

Saw a great band supporting Seasick Steve recently called Billie the Vision and the Dancers. They were top quality, a great sound backed with a wicked sense of humour. I feel they would go down well onmost festival lineups (You just have to see them in the flesh to understand :lol: )

While I've mentioned him please say you're trying to get Seasick Steve for the festival as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spoke to Tim from 3 Daft Monkeys on Tuesday night after their London gig (which was fantastic by the way). He said they'd love to play Wychwood again. Please have them back. :D

    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
    • Wow just got myself some Megadeth tickets and not sure I can afford another set of tickets for another gig so soon but we'll see. Fingers crossed
    • Can't speak for Dua Lipa's, but Coldplay's was vastly scaled down compared to their stadium production staging though, and tracks were adapted to reflect that. MOTS tour had a full walkway 30m out to the B-Stage in the middle of the crowd, and two C-Stages. Glastonbury didn't accommodate that at all and just had a very small walkway in front of the Pyramid stage, and (IIRC) a disconnected B-Stage.   Which re-enforces my point. Acts can adapt their stage shows if they really want. Most do, some don't want to. Glastonbury might miss out on the odd act that doesn't want to slightly adapt, but so will most festivals.
