Ohhhh, The Roots are playing. May reconsider not going now. Flaming Lips would make it worthwhile too.

Oops! Sorry but witnness.com has not been designed for Netscape. To view the site, you need another up-to-date browser with Flash. You could download and install Internet Explorer from Microsoft.

:rolleyes:

fucking twats. Up-do-date??? I'm on the nightly build of phoenix, you cannot get much more up-to-date.

Is there a list anyone can cut and paste for those of us damned to using mozilla browsers (or anyone know if i can get phoenix to report as IE ... though I'd feel dirty doing that).

Coldplay headlinging. Oh wow. How..."safe". There's about 3 decent bands in that list they have announced so far. Unless a really really decent band is accounced there's not a chance i'll go, after the shambolic way they ran it last year!

Can't wait till Reading fest comes here properly next year, at least they know how to run a festival.

I'd be tempted just to see zwan, but theres no one else so far that floats my boat.

rob1891 · 31-03-2003 11:48am

Thanks mbroaders!! I won't blame you for the disappointing line up

[got opera to display it, but it's opera for solaris which is about 2 years old and utter pants]

crappy line up imo...

Goodshape · 01-04-2003 8:38pm

Ahh, stop your complaining. Witnness is always good craic IMO.

Threre's a good few bands there I want to see, and I definitly won't be passing up the chance to see Zwan.

Bounty Hunter · 06-04-2003 7:59pm

They are planning to announce another band to headline the second day arent they?

Glowingmind · 06-04-2003 8:19pm

I'm not completely sure why you're all moaning, they've only announced 15 out of the 80 or so acts(if not more) that'll appear this year. They were always gonna announce the likes of coldplay, zwan and the other bland ****e first so they can sell as many tickets straight off the bat, the simple fact is that coldplay sell an obscene amount of albums here and people want to see them, you may not personally want to see em(i certianly don't) but festivals are about appealing to as many people as possible, so while the main stage will be boring and predictable like last year the smaller stages will have plenty of stuff to keep everyone happy.

Also they'll probaly announce the other headliner this week right before the tickets go on sale, allegedly it'll be blur
