Cambridge Rock Festival 2011
The 2011 Cambridge Rock Festival is looking like another good one! Return appearances by Panic Room and Chantel McGregor following their great sets last year; hopefully both will be higher up the bill. Mostly Autumn are on the bill yet again for the fourth year running.
And perhaps most significant of all, Heather Findlay will be playing with her new band, featuring Chris Johnson, Dave Kilminster, Steve Vantsis and Alex Cromarty, for what will be one of her first appearances as a solo artist. I remember some rather heated arguments on her forum over whether she ought to start off her solo career with high profile headline sets or to play some supports to build up an audience; it didn’t occur to anyone that she’s launch her career as a solo artist by playing some of the summer festivals. But it does make a lot of sense given that she won’t have a full album’s worth of material to promote.
Love to see both Stolen Earth and whatever Chris Johnson’s Parade (or whatever they’re renamed to now some “ciphers of budget rave-tinged Auto-Tuned dance muzak” backed by a lot of hype have stolen their name) on the bill. Stolen Earth are certainly up for it, and most of Parade will be there anyway.
Update: Not on the CRF website yet, but Stolen Earth are apparently now on the bill! Gets even better.
