1960maaan Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 When Rod played the Gate, we went over the Sister in Laws who lives near by . When this is on I have a feeling she might come to ours in Fishponds 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Will sell well amongst 30-somethings (mainly women) who listened to Galaxy/Kiss 20 years ago and want to relive their teenage years. And I suspect the next set of acts to be announced will be of a similar but more modern ilk to attract the younger crowd, so they can pitch it as a day out for all the family. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An all day festival with apparently 2 stages was never going to attract anyone massive, at least not in todays standard. Ne-Yo was a very big name well over a decade ago. Don't think this is going to be for me, but i can imagine they will sell out easy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internetjef Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Had my suspicions they might go down this kind of direction . Won’t be for me , but hopefully it’s successful. Don’t get too many big mainstream act events in Bristol so something a bit different. stuff I prefer is already pretty well catered for with forwards festival and a few smaller ones like dot 2 dot , plus a decent range of small-medium gig venues 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Seems like a glorified Butlins weekender to me. You'd also imagine Craig David isn't the biggest act they've got. But he'll pull in a healthy crowd on his own. Each act will bring X amount of fans with them so eventually they'll be hoping all that together leads to a sell out. With it being an all day thing they'll be making loads of money on the food and drink. That's where the money is id imagine as they increase the prices at concerts. Pretty sure I paid over 7 quid a pint at the Killers concert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick a couple of li-los and a rubber ring on the Malago, get the Bingo back on North Street and it'll be the Ted Bovis fest in no time.

robinforlife2 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Headline acts are always announced last, so the fact the DJ sort of acts have been announced first doesn't surprise me. They are often used for Crowd Builders. Craig David still sells out Racecourses, so to have Craig David and Neyo at the bottom of the bill bodes well. It'll be like Party In The Park. Got a feeling Busted may be on the bill and Blossoms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite incredible really that the likes of Ed Sheeran, Fontaines DC, Lewis Capaldi, Dua Lipa, Wolf Alice etc have all played it before they were big. Basically a great predictor of the next big thing.

Definitely not a gig for me then. Expect Stormzy or Pete Tong to top the bill then, possibly Flo-Rida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
