Other Stage Headliners 2015

[bocumaroy]

I believe so. Best to stick to a top two, really.

[Perks]

There are many world talents from Wirral http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_from_The_Wirral

Amongst them many, many fine musicians. Like erm...... erm......

HALF MAN HALF BISCUIT!!

Not sure if Ian Asbury really counts but there's Scaffold as well!

Spoilt for choice.

HMHB quality band.

[Bisque]

How old were you at the time?

14/15 I think

[dirtymookie]

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

Valid point, well made

[Muppetmark]

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?

11pm . Just be preparing to leave during the last song so you don't get caught in queues and then you'll be fine

[swede]

I'm from Hull , we've got the spiders from mars

[Osama Jim Laden]

We have TWO UB40's.. I can't apologise enough

[CaledonianGonzo]

But which of them is going to fix that rat?

[Comfy Bean]

Seeing them next Sunday. Just been checking out recent setlists and can't wait.

Enjoy James mate. Top scenes in Glasgow last weekend. They are in great form. Look like they are really enjoying it and Tim changed a couple of things on the setlist as he went along. More violin and crowd surfing than I was expecting ! Would love to see Tim owning the Pyramid in an early evening singalong

Have been listening to Hey Ma today. Had forgotten how good it is.

I had this dilemma. Ended up getting a bed in a hostel, you can't leave during Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks. (You can if you want.)

[AdamWillingham]

I'm from Exeter, we gave birth to Chris Martin.

Oh and just down the road is Teignmouth, which gave birth to Matt Bellamy.

We are oozing with talent down here.

Well I'm sizing up whether to get a ticket off Twickets, so it'll be far too late to sort any accommodation...I might, sadly, just leave it, given I saw them at Hyde Park and would be going alone. Gonna tear me up on the night if I'm not there though :/

[cokebabies92]

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.

Don't forget The Selecter.

[LondonTom]

Do The Cribs fans do this? I've never seen them do so...

There was a couple of them on here in the Cribs thread last year who were quite offended at the thought of them being an "indie" band

Just before 11 usually , but since you are going West you might get caught in the queues. at the station. Always seems more packed that way than East once you are in the station anyway. (Could always go East to Canning Town one stop and come back on yourself if the platform is to busy to get on a train.)

But once you are on a train its only 20 minutes.

World's-first-all-male-riot-grrl-band-cum -north's-answer-to-Sonic-Youth, mate. Don't make me tell you again!

[Slugworth]

I'm from Hillingdon and we have given the world, Ray Wilkins.

And Ronnie Wood.

[Mouseboy11]

We seem to get a lot of Nu-metal/Metalcore stuff come out of Wales..Bullet For My Valentine, Skindred, Funeral For A Friend and The Blackout. Still we've had some decent bands like The Manics, The Joy Formidable, Stereophonics, Super Furry Animals and Los Campesinos! If they count?

That's like me claiming the levellers.

To which the entire world would reply 'you're very welcome to them'

SFA are the most universally loved band on these boards.

[Mouseboy11]

You claiming the whole of Wales as yours?

That's like me claiming the levellers.

If we narrowed it down to where I'm from (The South) that'd only really take out The Joy Formidable who I think are from Bangor.

[CaledonianGonzo]

As a European I'm proud to be able to claim the likes of a-Ha, Daft Punk and Taraf de Haidouks as my own.

[A Guy Called Matt]

I claim EMF

You claimed all of South Wales and didn't mention John Cale by name? Disgraceful behavior.

[mr gumby]

We have Lostprophets.

If you're from Pontypridd, you might be better with Sir Tom!

By the way, is the Maltsters Arms still there? I used to work there, and chucked the Lostprophets boys out a few times.

Bet you regret that now, keeping Mr Watkins out of somewhere where there are no minors.
