Yeah its 150k a day
That works out probably about the same as an extra cup game then in the amount I would think. |

Isn't the deal that the shows are being run by Avalon....I'd assume Town would get a fee, for use of facility and the rest goes to the promoter, which is fair enough. I can't help but feel for the pitch though.....
I've only ever heard of about 3 of the acts on the list.

The fact I've heard of most of the acts on the 2nd day but none on the first day probably means I'm getting old.

So the little cunt that told me Noel Gallagher was headlining is a lying fucking shit  Ms Dynamite? Perhaps they could extract the surname and shove it under the stage. |

Day 1 is a who's who of chavvy acts - I bet half the town will be out in force.
Day 2 is a who's who of washed up, past it shite.
As long as we profit and the pitch is fine, who cares.

If they can sell out the O2 arena, I'm sure they can sell out Swindon.
We were never going to get massive acts like Muse etc.

I knew it would be this sort of deal. We could all have hoped for a two tone gig with The Specials and Madness headlining a night, but realistically it was always going to be something like this.

I think we need to give Rick Wakeman some credit for pulling this off. It's from the pile it high & sell it cheap end of the market, but it should pull them in and make some money. Still not sure what he's going to do for the rest of the year when these concerts are over though.

to be fair both the line ups are very different, but very typical of the music tastes of swindon. not to my tastes i must add. I think it'll be a success.

It could be Chas and Dave for all I care, just as long as it's a success.
According to Jed the money is guaranteed anyway but if it works, it could be a nice little boost to the coffers each year.
I bloody love Chas and Dave. |
