Cobra Starship sound alright.

Maybe I'm too old, or not cool enough, but the rest sounds like toothless MOR to me.

i want the concrete jungle stage (it will always be known as that to me no the lock up stage)

[Nik]

...i know almost none of them...does this mean i've not been reading NME enough? Frank Turner is amazing though

[Fat Reg]

Most are a mystery to me, though I think I'll be there for Seasick Steve - hobo bluesman playing a two-string acoustic guitar.

[T8]

hear a few but some names are weird......btw i wonder what chelsea player will make its way onto the poster this year btw in the carling bands section cus if u remember sum1 has a sence of humour who does the posters etc....and ideas who we think it will be?

[DAN]

I must be getting old, I have trouble telling which way up those lists are supposed to be.

Have heard good things about Seasick Steve & Frank Turner tho' so at least I won't be in the pub all the fest.
