The Proclaimers [17:30 - 18:30]
are much more than one very famous and very catchy song about
walking 500 miles! Hits like 'Letter from America' and 'Get Ready' make
them one of the country's most compelling live bands. A perfect Saturday
afternoon set to get everyone warmed up for a fantastic night of music.

beginning to the festival main stage. |

The newest inductees into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
Blondie [21:30 - 23:00] emerged
as the great pop icons of New York's celebrated late '70s new wave punk
scene by defying easy categorization. They scored their first major hits
with reggae, rock/disco and hip-hop songs. They wrote great rock hooks
and brilliant ironic lyrics. They had the hippest clothes and the coolest
hair.
|
 |
The Feeling [19:30 - 20:30] are five
twentysomethings from Sussex and London who love pop music. Great big
no-nonsense, hook-filled, giant-chorused pop music - music for the masses,
only intelligent, with sunshine hooks and killer choruses that everyone
can hum, from plumbers to professors.
|
 |
When her Luka hit no.3 in '87 charts, earning her three Grammy
nominations, including for Record of the Year, Suzanne Vega [17:30
- 18:30] ushered in a female, acoustic, folk-pop singer-songwriter
movement that would include the likes of Tracy Chapman, Shawn Colvin,
and Indigo Girls as well as the Lilith Fair phenomenon.
|
 |
Every once in a while, a band comes along that undoubtedly evokes something
special. You dont know what it is, but you are certain that they
belong set apart from amongst the crowd of musical peers in which they
lay. Midlake [15:30 - 16:30] has not
only embodied this idealism in the hearts of many already, but with the
introduction of their latest album, The Trials of Van Occupanther,
they are making it a reality.
|
 |
OSIBISA [13:30 - 14:30] exploded
onto the music world in 1971 with a pulsating and vibrant sound that was
to engulf the tired post 60s rock scene. Translated from Ghanaian
OSIBISA means criss-cross rhythms that explode with happiness.
The bands percussive influence began to manifest itself within the
music of their contemporaries.
