Other Stage Headliners 2015

Here he is! The Manchester guy piping up, making really biased comments all over the show.

I personally think the South has had the better music: off the top of my head - Pink Floyd, Radiohead, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, The Clash, The Who

The North: The Beatles, The Smiths, The Stone Roses, Oasis, Joy Division, Arctic Monkeys

I'd go with the South.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Historically I do agree Manchester has done that - however now, the demographic I mention is prevalent.

[Big Vern]

Shed Seven for me in York

[TheJackson]

The Darkness and Lil' Chris (lol) from this here neck of the woods!

You missed a few....

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's not where you're from, it's where you're at.

Considering my fave band is from Basildon and most of the stuff I own is from either Italy, Detroit, Chicago or breakbeat piano stuff from down south then I can be objective.

Such a dream boat, and a great taste in fashion too

Does anyone know what the curfew is at the O2? Feasible to get back to Waterloo for an 11:45 train after The National next week?

[jonodillieono]

I agree. I'm from just north of Manchester. There is a massive demographic who just listen to Manchester bands and nothing much else... Maybe Kasabian and when they are really pushing the boat out - The Jam.

I do like Oasis, the Smiths and The stone roses, but I can't stand the Courteeners (my most local band). Not 19 forever is appalling and seems to be some sort of anthem for the 5th Ave / 42's crowd.

- Lisa Stansfield went to my school, thats as famous as it gets for us

I'm the 5th ave/42s crowd however that's mainly because my friends are into rock/indie and there isn't really any where else to go, we all know when You're Not 19 Forever comes on it's time to go the toilet or get a drink, utter gash. The Stone Roses are always good for a night out though, or Blue Monday.

I much prefer Sankeys myself

[theDandy]

Aren't the coral from the wirral?

They are, so is Miles Kane & I believe Elvis Costello?

[The Nal]

Costello is from London

[theDandy]

Costello is from London

I wonder why I thought he was from the Wirral? Odd

[The Nal]

He moved up there when he was young.

[Sketchead]

And The Zutons!

[CaledonianGonzo]

And Martin Carr. And he wrote Lazarus.

[Bradders]

To say this started with someone saying "why do you care that a band's from your hometown", it's really sprialled into everyone proving that they do care when a band's from their hometown.

It's not a case of having to like them though. I liked them when they started out, you see em down the local etc. it just makes you that bit happier when you see em do well.

Most people are naming the shit artists from where they live so I don't think that's the case at all.

[Bisque]

I've played tennis with Cliff Richard. He has a very athletic body.

[The 38 year old virgin]

If only there were any bands, shit or otherwise, from Lincolnshire that I could claim as my own

Ella Henderson & Bernie Taupin?

[bocumaroy]

I'm not really 'from' Coventry, but it's as close as anything, and The Specials and The Primitives (park slot??) is pretty good going, so I'll go with that.

[dirtymookie]

The enemy are from Coventry aren't they???
