Nice one. Not my cup of tea but a good scoop for the city

 

[LastGarrison]

Didn’t we only have it a couple of years ago when Liam Gallagher played or was that something different?

Either way cracking news and I’ll be applying for tickets!!

Anyone want to tell me that City of Culture isn’t a good thing for this city?

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

It was always going to happen due to being City of Culture. Same thing happened to Hull a few years ago

Either way another coup for Cov!

I feel like it was scheduled to be at the Memorial Park a few years ago, but it got cancelled by the council for some reason or other.

Regardless, it's a great event to have in the city. Probably won't attend, but chuffed to bits that it's here.

Good for the city that. What kind of numbers would an event like that attract?

 

[rob9872]

Quality. Just been onto the supporters club and already got our tickets for this
Might pop a few on twitter later if you're interested.

That was Biggest Weekend, a spin off from Big Weekend that covered all channels not just Radio 1 and was at multiple venues.

I feel like it was scheduled to be at the Memorial Park a few years ago, but it got cancelled by the council for some reason or other.

Council were offered it in 2011 and turned it down so we missed out on Foo Fighters and Lady Gaga among others, was a cracking line up that year.

I’d appreciate it if everyone could pray for little mix to headline again like last time

Warthog's got a new username

Dua Lipa please

Dua Lipa please

 

[lordy_87]

I do actually like her songs though. Probably the only current pop star I can say that about.

Great pull for Cov. Puts us in the spotlight for a weekend as the BBC cover their channels in it.

Sunday 29th May
1. Big weekend Final day
2. Championship play off final

if we get to the play off final - may have an impact on Big weekend attendance!

The Killers re-arranged gig at the Ricoh (which I’ve got tickets for) on Saturday 28th May as well so the city is going to be heaving!!

2018 it happened didn't it?

Her new song with Elton John isn't bad

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Her new song with Elton John isn't bad

Id argue the original should have been left well alone and I’m disappointed Elton took the money.

All three originals?

All three originals?

You learn something new everyday in my defence, I’ve only heard a few times when the kids are in the car.

 

[Sick Boy]

I went to the one in Leicester in the early 00s and it was brilliant - drugs and booze everywhere.

Tbf he's the only one I've heard of

Heard of a few but not my cup of tea but still great for the city to be attracting these events

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

The artists aren't everyone's cup of tea but them being in Coventry on the same day is magnificent for the city!
