Why do you not tell us the days the bands will play on?
Please book Curved Air to play at the festival,
Old prog rock fan.
Could you try and confirm which band plays which day? its a long journey from scotland and not everyone is gonna make it both days…cheers
i’ve not reall got time to list the dates each band are playing, but the dates are on the official website which has just been updated
and interestingly magnum have been put on the prog stage and also gary moore is apparently going to be playing a rock set rather than his recent bluesy stuff which can only be good news, oh and i second that find somewhere for curved air they are a fantastic band, especially off of second album and phantasmagoria!!

Here’s a wish list for yer!!!
Budgie
UFO
Jethro Tull
FM
It Bites
Francis Dunnery
Black Country! (well, Bonamassa’s there already!)
The Union
Heaven’s Basement
Bad Company/Paul Rodgers
Chickenfoot
Any of these would be welcome additions in my book. None of them big enough to put big numbers on the gate though – but with the headline slots sealed we can’t be expecting Aerosmith or Van Halen!
im tempted to go on the day Down are playing
Tuill won’t be playing, they’ve got two gigs on both days, out of country. But yeah, It Vites would be awesome, though I’m amazed about most of the bands there. Marillion has to be my favourite. Perhaps it’s a little sad that I’ll be 16 when the Festival starts?
