Report

C&T possibly hinting at Duran Duran for their big new Essex dates, so wondering if they could be on here too? Announcement on Monday.

Trying to keep this somewhat achievable... Jalen Ngonda Air Hamish Hawk Cast CMAT (smashed headlining Deer Shed) Emiliana Torrini Manu Chao Thee Sacred Souls Richard Dawson Bernard Butler (with David McAlmont)  Beak (epic on this tour - would be good to have a Glastonbury farewell) John Grant Bodega Divorce The Orielles Anna Calvi

I have to admit, I only started listening to Rod due to Karl Pilkington and The Killing of Georgie….perfect Sunday afternoon pick though I think!

It’s a huge booking. It’s what iow used to be (and now isn’t!)

It will be interesting to see who the other 2 headliners are. A lot of people who live locally only do 1 day of Victorious. When Mumford headlined the increase in numbers on that day was noticeable.   It may well turn out the same with KOL   (And whilst we are mentioning headliners / potential headliners playing smaller Portsmouth venues, Mumford once played The Cellars pub in Southsea (now RIP) and Pulp supported St Etienne on the pier.
