New York Dolls on Hyde Park bill!

I think a mass campaign on the o2 wireless website forum is in order. Surely we want the Dolls higher up the bill? Do I really have to watch Beck, The National, The Guillemots (I've seen these for 10 minutes -seemed like an hour)?

Re: New York Dolls on Hyde Park bill!

Brel, beat you to it by 3 minutes
Agree, hope that is the running order
The Manchester v Cancer gig was spoiled by a crap running order this year...

The Guillemotts are fast becoming the 'Man from Delmonte' of the moment. Not that they sound anything like them, but they seem to be the support for every gig I go to!

Do you remember a band in the 80's in Manchester called "The Mysterious 5th Member"? They were the same. Every flippin gig. I hated them!!

I heard it's the Goo Goo Dolls, not the New York Dolls.

There are 4 stages, so maybe? But the New York Dolls are definately on the bill.

They were both a running joke amongst me and my mates. We would do a few gigs a week (I used to get us in free at The Boardwalk, International 1 & 2, and at The Hacienda). It was always one or the other supporting.

The National are superb.

down in albion would say the same thing. Where is he anyway

I heard Siouxsie is playing the fest, too.
