Am I the only one who things the 2nd night would be good fun, in an ironic way?
Pity they don't have Snap! or The Venga Boys playing.

Not really to my musical tastes in the slightest but pleasantly surprised that they are actually going ahead and there is at least some 'names' in the lines up...

It will be interesting to see how the ticket sales go for this. I'd imagine they'll just sell DRS and Arkells then on the pitch. Town End was used only for Elton John and a photo posted from there showed you couldn't see anything so they sacked it off for Brian Adams.

I like acts from both days but may look to get a couple of tickets for day 2
Interesting that the concerts are so early, does this get round the issue of planning permission and getting the council involved for licences etc

Nah. The majority of the target audience where tags as part of their asbo's. If they are not home by 10 the police are sent looking for them. |

Mentioned day 2 to someone at work who saw most of those acts at NEC recently and she was gutted to find that Peter Andre is hesdlining but it's was on whilst she's on holiday. Definitely not my cup of tea, nor most of us here judging by the comments, but there's a massive mainstream market for this bubblegum.

Their album was the first album I ever bought. I feel ashamed by that. I think we need to give Rick Wakeman some credit for pulling this off.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought they were twins. Rick Wakeman at the CG would be a laugh. Everyone who said we need the Venga boys is right, and not getting the Lightning Seeds is a shame... I suppose this first concert will test the waters a bit, hence the more marketable stuff, and then hopefully once the creases are ironed out we'll get some decent acts in. Take that Fredi! |

Don't think they are on the line up. Maybe that's a future gig? |

I cant really see them putting on anything more than mainstream pop, to be honest. Which is a bit of a shame really, would be nice to see some diversity. There just doesn't really
seem to be much of a demand for alternative music in Swindon

If you think about it, by definition alternative is bound to have a smaller demand....it's what makes it alternative. |

Did they not also say that they were looking at holding gigs at the CG not just on the pitch, Could the Legends lounge not hold a few smaller alternative gigs?

Just one of the many ways the town suffers through not having a university. |
