Jersey Live

What's up with all the drum & bass in the dance arena? Any chance of getting some decent techno and underground house acts like Joris Voorn, Minilogue or more well known like Danny Howells or Underworld? I like the way that just as The Kooks' popularity is on the slide they're booked for JL, nice one Warren!With regards to camping, no chance.

no more zutons! we want the coral
i was lestening to the corals first album the other day and had totally forgot how great it was. songs like goodbye and dreaming of you are superb pop songs that would get a festival crowd dancing their socks off. instead of the zutons who i'm more than fed up with, book the coral.. a band with more adolescence and better songs!

a RAPTURE FAN (surprisingly)
get THE RAPTURE!!!! ...get THE RAPTURE!!!! ...get THE RAPTURE!!!!

I don't think some of the people complaining have any idea just how much some of these bands cost to book. For a festival with a capacity of only 10 thousand to get the Kooks and Basement Jaxx is impressive, especially when you think about hte extra cost of getting htem here and putting them up. Take a look at other similar sized festivals in the UK and compare the JL headliners to those festivals and not massive ones like Glasto and Reading.

not impressed by the kooks either!

For the first time since it's inception i won't be bothering this year. Rather than ramp up the calibre of act being brought over there seems to be a distinct liking for bringing over old or mediocre acts and labelling them as headliners. Basement Jaxx, seriously? The Prodigy were a headliner, Basement Jaxx are at best a support act who have released nigh on nothing in the last 5 years (and i say that having seen both full live gigs)Seriously Warren's - stop bringing over previous acts like the Zutons and the Kooks and spend a bit of money getting a world class act here or i cant see JL becoming anything more than a cheap local little two dayer where it has the potential to be a world class festival.I have spoken to a few people now with varying musical tastes and each has said unless there are a number of surprising support acts they just won't be bothering this year.

Basement JAxx as a headline act is "laugh out loud" stuff. Have a word! WOuld welcome Kings of Leon on the mainstage and Laurent Garnier or John DIgweed in the Dance Arena

Nice bookings so far guys. Kooks are a great band live!!!

J
well start by getting rid of a mediocre dance act like basement jaxx... headliners... really? they can do better than that surely?!secondly, if guernsey live could get biffy clyro last year, will it be jerseys turn this year?

Please can we also have the prodigy back as I was absolutely mashed when they were over this year, and I really can't remember much of their performance
