Neil Young & Crazy Horse

The Cribs

It's a different kind of line-up, that has some pretty interesting stuff scattered over it. The Facebook punters do make me laugh with their proclamations of "Who? This must be a shit line-up if I've never heard of anyone", ignoring the fact that their general ignorance of anything non-mainstream is a far shittier thing.

I mean, OK, we're hardly talking household names, but the mainstage artists that are playing will generally sell-out 3000-4000 capacity venues. And that's to be expected with the financial issues they've, reportedly, been having.

All that said, it's not a bill geared strongly enough towards my tastes for me to shell out full whack on tickets. But I'll be keeping an eye out for cheap ones nearer the time, which will fail to help the festival out in any way, shape or form.

I'm not sure about going at the mo - I'd only bother going for one day but the bands that do interest me are pretty much split 50/50 over the Friday and Saturday. There is still a special guest TBA slot third down on the main stage on Friday, so that could be interesting.

The Cribs are a good alternative to Rodriguez though, and are far more likely to appeal to those that are there primarily for MBV/The Horrors/Dinosaur Jr. Do agree that there's definitely a distinct diffeerence to the days though, at least on the main stage. Also interested to see who the special guest on the Friday is, given the general flavour of that day it could be someone pretty decent.
