Ian Bassman Posted September 11, 2024 Report Share Posted September 11, 2024 Disappointing to read that most of these comments seem to relate to "tribute" bands and not "covers" bands. There is a huge difference! A covers band stage must surely be considered ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben7amin_ Posted September 12, 2024 Report Share Posted September 12, 2024 Im up for the odd coverband sneaking onto the line up where as there is no chance the original can ever be seen - Bootleg Beatles or a completely different concept like Beetles Dub Club - But coverbands are the life blood of tony local festivals and they should be left to it. A coverbands stage at Glastonbury..... strong nope from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted September 12, 2024 Report Share Posted September 12, 2024 Unfortunately this stage would be mobbed nowadays. Thousands losing their sh*t to Don't Stop Believing. The days of 100k at the Sugababes, 120k at Avril Lavigne and half the lineup being "DJs" pressing play on fake decks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Chris Posted September 12, 2024 Report Share Posted September 12, 2024 Reckon I’ve seen the bootleg Beatles and Bjorn again at Glastonbury, busy for both of them. A covers stage might actually be popular but can’t see it being made part of the festival. A sprinkling of bands in the acoustic, Avalon etc might be ok.
