I was going to pooh-pooh it, but there are so many bands I like in that lineup!

Trouble is, I hate being out in the open air all day.  :(

There does seem like there is something there for everyone.

I'll probably go, not sure which day yet.

Well I went to that fest London Calling 2 years ago in Hyde Park for around the same price and this does offer better value for Rock Music fans as far as line ups go.

It's not just you!   I think you'd have to look elsewhere to see who's playing which day.

its close-ish to where i live. was thinking of going.. £75 is good value - but still very expensive pyschologically speaking.

Lots of good bands on, I hope it does well, it's a real struggle for mid-sized events in the UK.

Might get along to flyer our own shows on the metal hammer stage, and catch some cool bands whilst we're there. New Device clearly have a booker worth his weight in gold  :lol:

Bands, as well as festivals, have websites  :P

24/07

ZZ Top
Heaven and Hell
Foreigner
Gary Moore
The Answer
New Device
Transatlantic
Asia
Opeth
Dweezil Zappa
Uriah Heep
Touchstone
Pendragon

25/07
ELP
Joe Bonamassa
UFO
The Quireboys
Venom
Clutch
Down
Lethargy
Marillion
Magnum
Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash
The Reasoning

Bachman and Turner, Focus, Steve Hackett, Argent, Orange Goblin, High on Fire, BLS and The Union are all clearly following instructions not to publish the date yet, but Bruce Kulick is in Iowa on the 24th so you'd imagine The Union are the 25th.
