Summer Festivals 2017

There’s a few, so I thought I’d stick them all together in one handy place for planning purposes. ****All done now, see you next year, pop pickers!****

...From a "Gigs in July" thread now way down the board, and from the person who is clearly in or close to the band:

There will be more


(I think that was actually the first festival date they announced, so we've had some of the "more" already, still hoping for more "more" though)
And I asked, "Are you dreaming about a crow?"
And there she was....

Not that it counts for much, if anything, but the last time (?) BSP played Standon in 2010 was the best I've seen them at a muddy field/isolated pub festival.

Shame I'm on shift for this year as it's a real fun-looking line up. Non-camping options are few and far between, but it does have a dog show, and those of a non-corporate bent might be interested to know the festival in it's early years was unwittingly funded by Tesco:

Oh go on then...and isn't that the day before Glastonbury kicks off? In the right locale, too.

Now confirmed for Glasto.

(Yes, I DO call Glastonbury "Glasto" - and no, I wouldn't like to go there one day - because it annoys the sort of people who go on about it like it's some kind of spiritual experience).

It would be nice if the Manics would ask them to support in Newcastle too because that's on a Saturday and in the north, can someone make this happen? Not that I'm actually planning on going but I would if they were.
And I asked, "Are you dreaming about a crow?"
And there she was....

It's not looking good Bob, considering they're in Standon on Sunday, Louth Saturday and Hebden Bridge on Friday...I suppose they could be playing early on Friday or Saturday...pretty unlikely though.
