It would be interesting to see how many middle aged blonde ladies rushed to open this thread, when they saw the subject title. :twisted:

That Stoke fan mate of yours obviously lives on the newsnow site like you do. :roll:

Funnily enough the sea at Blackpool is usually orange in colour as well!! :lol:

Was turned off as soon as I saw that headline…..Lenny Sowah has just signed for hamburg. :roll:

Apart from Oaisis the others you’ve mentioned are that popular, ask anyone on here to remember 3 songs of theirs without googling and they’d be struggling. As for the rest of the bands taking part on that monster event, you can’t even remember who they were.

Do you not realise what sponsorship is? The heineken festival was sponsored by guess who……..?
Good luck to these venues for getting that kind of sponsorship were they don’t have to charge to get in, its hard to find companies who’ll do that these days. Heineken are probably closing places down and losing jobs hand over fist now wishing they had the thousands paid to the Gallaghers and co. at the time.

Yes the Haigh festival is free and costs a bit of money to set up. Over 35 thousand attended over the day last year and this year will probably be the same.

As for not trying pleasing everybody, a quirky young energetic boy band, followed by a hip hop band, followed by a soul diva, followed by a opera singer, followed by a girl band followed by a ex boy band and middle of the road favourite, is a bloody good attempt. :roll:

PS No I will not be watching Ronan Keating, even though its not now the 30 odd quid you’ve quoted to watch him and the rest of the acts, its actually just half that!!. Just check out the 2 for 1 specials that are now on.
By the way, the jazz festival starts next week if you fancy a bit of that stuff

This thread needs moving to the music forum and to the original poster McFly were due on stage at 9:30pm and have now probably fecked off to wence they come, with a couple of fit wigan wenches on each arm.

Are you serious, its the biggest set of concerts held in wigan since the verve and all you can do is take the pish. :roll:

For your information, whether you like it or not:-

N-Dubz are probably the most popular hip hop band in the UK and have had 8 top 40 hits in the singles charts even though they are all quite young. Their second album against all odds went platinum within 6 weeks of release.

Katherine Jenkins is the most popular classical artist in the UK. 6 out of her first 7 albums reached number one in the clasical music charts. She has performed with the all worlds top opera singers and is now making a name on the popular music scene having done recent work with likes of Lionel Richie.

I could build up a similar case for the rest of the line up.Ronan Keating for example has done more top ranking giggs both with a boy band and has a solo artist, than anyone you could throw on stage. I would fill the page with his number one singles and albums.

These acts cost 5-10 pounds more to watch at venues like the MEN and O2 Arena and the places get packed. Someone has come up with this idea and worked damned hard to make it happen in our own back yard FFS and the best you can come up with are cheap shots. If you don’t want to pay 30 odd quid to watch any of these I don’t blame you, cos they are not my cup of tea, but please refrain fom having a go and suggesting they should be free. The fees these artists demand would make your hair curl and if you wanted something for nowt, you could have done the haigh fest sunday. :x

Thats even worse!! ;)
