Talk:Godiva Festival

Djsmiley2k reminisces

As someone whom used to attend the festival (until i was banned) it always had (at least for the first 7~ years) a "rock" tent. This was the tent which housed the louder bands, and i believe it was eventually ended due to the fact that there was so many complains about the noise - as far as i could tell the bands would regulate their own sound equipment as at the time the whole festival was a bit of "wingin' it". The rock tent would be next door to the main tent and generally packed all day with young "youths" and there was much drinking etc to be done. After this tent disappered, the acts which would normally be in it then appeared in the "main" tent and any attempt at moshing etc was frowned upon and this is how i became ejected from the event for not obeying.

also there is no mention of the beer tent, where people can sample various beers, or the coverage from radio coventry and warwickshire, or sometimes mercia (maybe they both attend, im not quite sure). Djsmiley2k (talk) 11:58, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I went to the 1998 and 2002 festivals, the latter for only half an hour as it was dreadful. There were two proper festival stages at the 1998 festival although apart from the two main stage headliners the bands were all local student indie acts - the local Sunday League of Britpop acting out their Glastonbury fantasies. I remember the tent in 2002 - I hated the whole Kerrang hoodie rock thing and thought it was vile. I was in there for two minutes and it was like being in a tumble drier full of faded black linen. Yuk. The rest of it was like a school fete or something. I didn't go back for 16 years. They've now got one big stage where the megastars play, two tents (one for music, the other for performance art etc) plus a couple of tiny acoustic stages, two fairgrounds, an insane amount of food stalls and the same village fete element.2.24.71.107 (talk) 00:20, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

? split page

With each year events to be added, it might be worth start splitting off to Godiva Festival 2007, Godiva Festival 2008 and so on. Snowman (talk) 13:31, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

1998 Festival

I'm the same IP user who added the headliners for the 1998 festival. I've got the poster in a drawer in my kitchen for the '98 festival and can add the whole bill if you like. As I said in my reply to Djsmiley2k above, other than the headliners it was just local student wannabe landfill indie like Swamp Donkey. (Tellingly, another Coventry band in the 2010s has been usng the same name.) Most of it won't mean anything to anyone who wasn't regularly going to the Colin Campbell, the Planet club and a few other pubs out in the suburbs in the late 90s but it's nice to have the information if you want it. 2.24.71.107 (talk) 00:25, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
