woah
felix da housecat.
god.
last year was waaaaaaaay better.
and i wish the RHCP would just fuck off and stop playing massive gigs in ireland.
that all looks a bit rubbish
dunnit?
yeah...... HMM.
there's a couple of good ones but all in all it's a bit of a bore really.
though BellX1.... yay!
I like Bell X1
However I expect that they would not be favoured by the DiS massive...
Does this bill look very much like the Wireless one, give or take a few bands
Or am I just hallucinating wildly?
are all large festival bills...
not utter guff to begin with?
they announce the 'names' to sell the tickets (although thats hardly tough these days) and then fill up the smaller stages from now till june/july. i'd expect all those artists will be on top 2 stages, except maybe some headliners for smaller tents.
give it time folks.
also, eels and the go team bodes well for t in the park since these two usually have a similar line up.
and not wanting to be pedantic or owt
but it's EROL Alkan.
Lots of good bands in there though, shirley?
Is it just me
or does this line up currently look remarkably similar to T in the Park? At least headline and 'big name' wise.
no
I would love to go for Mr Marley alone.
