Worst ever festival line up?

“GGD” made me go back to the flyer, and I realized it was for Goo Goo Dolls, not Gang Gang Dance. for a second i was like “Gang Gang are reuniting??!!!!”

There is no such band called Yam Haus, no one got together and practiced and wrote songs and said "hey I know let's call ourselves Yam Haus", impossible.

yam haus truther

weird they couldn't get Hippo Campus for this

lol Yam Haus, the poor man's Hippo Campus

The band's name “Yam Haus” stands for “You Are Me."

HipHaus Yampus

Yam Haus makes a bunch of tiktoks of themselves doing Taylor Swift covers to build buzz

Kind of telling that when I googled "Yam Haus", "Yam Haus LLC" popped up a lot. Dudes are serious.

hahah i saw that

Union jack really the stamp of quality there, eh?

I hope Timmy Mallett and Eddie the Eagle Edwards insist on playing a song with each acts jools holland style

T’pau should really be higher in the bill

what do you do with Eddie the Eagle at a festival? are they gonna set up a little ski jump for him or something?

Hot Chocolate actually seem to have three original members (not Errol of course, RIP big Tory fella). Not bad going in this day and age!

Well yeah but to be brutally honest the main reason I'd want to see Hot Chocolate is to hear Errol.

Timmy Mallet! That's incredible.

I'm imagining 'Lottery Winners' are literally some 50 something Britpop loving lottery winners who've bought their way on to the bill.

loool @ "Mike Joyce (The Smiths) *DJ Set"

only thing I would watch there is the Christians and I wouldn't really have high expectations for that

I have it on good authority that Nik Kershaw is worth seeing. Paul Young might be alright too I suppose. Possibly Deniece from 5 Star although that's pushing it. The rest of it can get in the swing bin. Sonia!

my sister went to see Paul Young ten years ago and said his voice was totally shot and his performance was abysmal. But maybe thats what playing in Aylesbury does to a man

I would imagine that even in his heyday Paul Young was not known for his blistering live performances.

Would watch Man vs. DJ Food

For a second I thought Matt Ford's big band was the big band of centrist dishrag Matt Forde. Wouldn't be entirely un-apt.

I'm not going to fucking google "the south" but is that some sort of beautiful south spin-off?

like is it that dave guy with his granny on bongos?

haha i was almost 100% otm:

After forming "The South" in 2008, Hemingway along with Alison Wheeler from the Beautiful South line-up, released their first album since 2006 entitled Sweet Refrains. The album, featuring songs written by keyboardist Damon Butcher and guitarist Phil Barton, was recorded and released in 2012.

haha

Don't want to post recent Paul Young videos, but christ alive I don't know how he gets any bookings at all. He's been completely fucked for years now

touring has taken a heavy toll, he needs to spend more time recuperating at home. apparently every time he goes away he leaves a piece of him etc etc sorry

loool

Paul Young might be alright too I suppose.

OK I just watched a bit of a recent live clip and I take this statement back, oof.

Just checked a couple of videos out, had assumed you just meant that his voice was fucked, not that he was fucked.

Not saying this is bad, but lolz at Grand Funk Railroad popping up in the middle of this:

Blink 182 another sore thumb at Austin City Limits

Not really? Part of their formula is a headlining Rock act and/or a legacy one, and the Blink reunion tour did surprisingly well, so *BOOM* both boxes checked off by booking them.

Pogue Traders?

I will only be satisfied if this is a Rogue Traders cover band formed by members of the Pogues.
