Whatever the make up of the bill, lets hope that the organisers dont do a "one size fits all" attempt.

Even though they are all well into their 60's, this incarnation of Fleetwood mac ( the "Classic" 1975-87 minus Christine McVie) would sell out pretty much every night of any tour they do. Thats what promoters are for. they plan just enough gigs to sell out, ensuring that demand can just be met! Currently most of their tours are arena tours though, even though they are rumoured (no pun) to be playing Glastonbury!

My bet is on an 80s-90s revival festival like rewind, which draws 60,000 each year in Henley on Thames!

Thank you Joe

Dont think the recent weather will have put many in the mood for an open air concert Odsal. The problem with 80s pop is that, with the exception of new romantics, it doesnt seem to have the nostalgia value of eg 60's or punk. Dont think Charlie Watts would fancy playing at Odsal, too windy. But not many hippies www.guardian.co.uk/music/2013/ap ... -interview

Course, like all decades, it can't be really just be narrowed down to one format and there was lots of good stuff mixed in amongst the dross. I can empathise with Charlie Watts though, it's bloody hard to play music in the freezing cold and wind. In fact the lads playing guitar in the cold on the last few Sundays deserve a medal as they probably left with fingers rubbed raw in the cold.

Charlie better not get cold feet now (or hands) as I've shelled out for a ticket for Hyde Park.

Nah, that's much nearer the equator than Odsal....
