Why are the GIAN always in England? I'd love to go to it, but can't 'cause I live in Scotland, and it would be too awkward to get down to Sheffield/ London. Why can't we have it up here?

People stop whinning about the line-up you have FYS, Glassjaw, Finch, Chiodos and SYG so stop your bitching. Hardcore dancing and Circle Pits for all "HO,HO.HO Merry Give it a Name!"

U HAVE A PURE GOOD LINE UP THIS YEAR WITH BANDS LIKE ENVY ON THE COAST, MY AMERICAN HEART, 30 SECONDS TO MARS AND CHIODOS.

You clearly don't really know what you're talking about. Finch are amazing as are Set Your Goals. Chiodos are pretty sweet too.

Posted by Me | February 4, 2008 2:35 PM | Reply to this

The venue is so big you can build a house inside it...

There's a main stage and a smaller one next to it so they can change equipment on one stage whilst a band is playing on the other... which means theres less waiting between bands.

THIS IS THE WORST LINE-UP EVER.
05 and 06 were amazing, 07 was ok and this year, well oh dear they really look desperate.

the blackout and paramore were both on 2nd stage in 06 and if i remember correctly the blackout opened it and paramore were 2nd or 3rd on.

what a let down, paramore headlining and the blackout on main stage.

and seriously, all the bands playing are shit with the exception of finch and glassjaw

Posted by Miki the cobra | February 4, 2008 6:56 PM | Reply to this

there's a lack of birmingham here
actually a lack of everywhere this year
COME ON
i haven't seen finch for years, but i can't get up to london/sheffield

this is actually ridiculous. the line up is quite good as well, some decent undergrounds.
grrrrrrrrrrr
i wish they'd do a proper tour. just cause the uk is small, doesn't mean it isn't far to get to london.
