The Musical Chairs 2010 Festival Plans

Last year on The Musical Chairs, we provided some live coverage from a couple of festivals – The Great Escape and Reading. They were both fun festivals to cover and, from what I gather of those read the coverage and the detailed analysis afterwards, very good coverage. So, The Musical Chairs is once again planning to do some festival action in 2010, albeit with more events and more ambitious plans. Here is the proposed itinerary:
1st-2nd May: Camden Crawl
For two days every Spring, Camden becomes the centre of frenetic activity as a plethora of bands fill out just about every single venue/pub in Camden. Last year featured such big hitters like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs so expect more of the same in 2010.
13th-15th May: The Great Escape
It was so much fun last year that I’m going again. The seaside festival/music conference is a pretty important date for those in the industry and a chance to see the bands that will make a splash at the outdoor festivals in 2010.
6th June: Rage Against The Machine at Finsbury Park
Not a festival per se but it’s a pretty big deal nonetheless, with several bands playing throughout the day. I’ll be there gauging the mood of the people lucky enough to go and report on the day as a whole.
24th June-27th June: Glastonbury
We are hoping to do this massively, and we might have big plans for this. Stay tuned for more information in the near future.
31st July: Field Day
Field Day will be the final event in our summer of festivals. With Phoenix headlining and an eclectic supporting case, it should be one of the more interesting one-day festivals of the summer.
This year, there will be more expansive coverage and I hope to do more collaboration with you guys via the usual social networking tools. Of course, this is all a proposed itinerary and I’ll be beyond grateful to cover all five of these events, but let’s see what happens. Either way, I’m pumped and so should you be.
