On that link they say appearing are......
Gérald de Palmas, the Pony Pony Run...
I never in my wildest dreams ever thought that I'd have an opportunity to see them live. It will be like seeing Elvis supported by the Beatles, only better!

.....and from our seats in the Dunlop bridge tribune we will be ideally placed to ignore every last minute! Jeez, and I thought UB40 were a duff choice!  ::)

It's Euro pop courtesy of the Nurburgring 24 all over again.  I'm sure the local 'kids' will like it  ::)

As usual I have always preferred the 24hr live concert of 52 performers on the track

Well done AC0!

I guess with Pug gone they can't be bothered this year.

IIRC there's a massive monsters of rock concert going on in Nantes on the same night - surely the ACO could shell out a bit of our hard earned cash and helicopter in a few monsters to headline for a few hours!

Shocking choices, but I hear there is a motor race on at the same time, I might try and find that this year.

The fun fair has been declining for years and after the death of big bertha, hands up all that remember her, i doubt it will ever be the same. Even in france the h & s people would be up in arms if it return to the type of things i remember from the 80's and ninety's

It was much better when the fair was up that way. All dark and dusty. It's a pain in the ass behind the grandstands. It just clogs the place up.

As for this years bands. Could be worse. Could be The Levellers or UB40.

I'd love to see Super Furry Animals there. That would be cool.
