Looking forward to this, to see a band that take me back to earlier days. Just to see Bez dancing like an arse will be good for me.

From the same era I remember seeing 808 State at the Festival quite a few years ago, they were good apart from the four or five power failures that kept disrupting the set!

Not a big fan myself but got me thinking who I'd like to see headline the Godiva Festival ? ACDC supported by METALLICA.what a concert that would be. Me and my heavy metal mates would be up for that !

They were the band for me in my teenage years and twenties. Still go to see them now when I can.
Have been on the Godiva website but can't find the dates. Anyone know?

Saw 808 State in Heaton Park, Manchester about 1990. Came on just as it was going dark. Unbelievable.

Yep, just spotted this. Buzzcocks one of my favourite all time bands. Saw them twice in their heyday and then also Pete Shelley when he did a solo gig.

Can't wait!!!

Marrilion anyone ? Now that would be a good reason to stay away.
I gather the Lightning Seeds are finishing the festival on the Sunday, and a local band called Stone Foundation are also playing at some point.

Lightning Seeds? Really. Cool.

Best line up for ages. All it needs now is Bucks Fizz and Gareth Gates and it will Glastonbury esque.

Tell you one thing that really annoys me about the people of Coventry and it's how many of them don't even know what the Godiva Festival is or that it's on.

Hear time and time again people in town saying 'what's that then?' Someone in CEX yesterday was saying the same thing. The assistant was explaining all about it and the bloke didn't have the slightest idea.

It's a free festival and there is something for everyone. It's something the city should be proud of and something that every citizen of Coventry should at least be aware of.

Over the years I have seen some fantastic bands down there.

I have 3 nieces all in their 20's and they just can't be bothered, even if there is a band they like.

It is a bit of a long hard trek though up that mountainous, exhausting Memorial Park isn't it!!

I went yesterday / last night. I enjoyed it. First time I've really stayed for most of the day.

How wide eyed was Bez? Don't think he blinked once throughout the whole set!!

Thinking of going down shortly to see Lightning Seeds and the ordinary boys.

Big up to everyone who went, massive crowds, and long may it continue.
