Let's share classic and iconic music ads / flyers / posters etc

Anyone go here? Only went once I think. Karminsky experience in the back room was well ahead of its time with easy listening / soundtrack stuff. Don’t know if it happened every week but there was also a naked man dancing on stage for a bit.

Picked my daughter up from Reading festival Sunday night. I may be biased, but £325 for this

versus £80 (including parking) for this in 2000

It’s no contest, is it? Even with inflation, that would only be a ticket price of £160 today. It’s all gone horribly wrong.

Yeah but have you seen the Josh Baker set on iPlayer? (Joking)

Yeah, agreed and it’s absolutely insane. A couple of friends daughters went (were local), came back with wellies full of wet mud and had 'the best time Eva’:person_shrugging:

Dont get me started on the drone shots of crap left behind…

Picked my daughter up Sunday morning! She said on the way back “all the boys in our group were on Gary’s”…I said what are these Gary’s then? “Just drugs that makes them feel really great then really depressed after.” Quite amazed that 17yos are still using the word “Gary’s”!

Seeing the finest bands of that or any generation is all well and good, but it’s compered by Steve Fucking Lamacq.

My daughter has been having a summer of festivals. Sonar → Outlook → Boomtown → WOH → Lost Village. Along the way I had the watershed moment of her sharing a video of herself clearly on a “pinger” in the family WhatsApp group.

When challenged she claimed to have only “had a nibble”.

I would make me a proud father if my daughters were ever to go on a quest like that someday.

Came across a 96 one to add to the above. Nice to see William Orbit on there.

Rupert Sheldrake on there - the author of the book about fungi that’s very popular now.
