Just saw a bigger version of the poster and noticed that The Damned are performing The Black Album. So many good tunes, History of the World, Dr Jekll & Mr Hyde, Wait for the Blackout, 13th Floor Vendetta its going to be class.

 

I was hoping for some of Phantasmagoria but will happilly take The Black Album.

This is taken from the site of the VIP/hospitality providers (only £750 for some posh nosh and a lanyard). It gives a list of the acts that may or may not be the actual stage splits

Interesting that plausable but would be rubbish if they clash Kraftwerk with The Damned. I am hoping that there will be some form of staggering between stages,guess we will have to wait and see.

I think it is plausible inasmuch as if The Damned are doing the Black Album in full, plus presumably a few hits, then what’s a headliner length set. Most acts are going to get about 45 minutes or so. I reckon the stages will be staggered and that there’ll not be much of an overlap between whoever is headlining the second stage, and Kraftwerk

Still on first release. Would be fascinated to see how many they actually have shifted so far.

 

If it was above Birmingham, I'd be tempted to sack off Billy Joel and do this. But alas, getting myself to and from is a bit of a hassle, unless Big Green Coach are swinging into action.

I think the price is too high for the more casual audience, considerably above APE for example, and they're banking on the HMV dads who clearly still have their hands in their pockets. MK is the not the easiest, but a straight run up/down the M1 for many. Probably going to be freebies, and I may regret buying up front!

When Kraftwerk tour the UK there’s always a right bun-fight for tickets - less so for when they do festivals

 

The GA price is on tier 2 now. Rebellion was announced last week too, and I expect there’s a fair amount of crossover with ticket holders. With a capacity of 25k I think this will sell out, but it’ll take time

A straight run down the M1, but given that for most it's only realistic by car (with hotel options being minimal, trains not running late enough, and a general lack of other public transport options) that means at least one person has to remain sober as a designated driver. And parking around the Bowl is generally awful with egress being even worse.

 

I tend to think of MK Bowl as being a last resort venue - certainly the "lineup threshold" needed to get me to even consider it is much higher than it'd be in say a London park. And I'm no fan of going to London.

It's only 25,000?

 

I thought the bowl could hold plenty more than that.

 

It can do, for a "big gig" single stage setup.

 

Appears they've just configured it differently for this.
