It's official! Andy Rourke in tonight's Manchester Evening News.It's on MARCH 30th at M.E.N. Arena again. Tickets go on sale FRIDAY 12th JANUARY. Not sure if it's the same line-up as last year (fingers crossed),but Andy says they will match the line-up they had last time. Gonna check the website for more details.

let's hope Bez doesn't turn up this year
Just what I was thinking.
Johnny wrote: it will match the "standard" of last year.Doubt NO will play this time, meself
Well, David Potts said he would be there and we would have a Monaco reunion... that's a start.
Thing is, is that still today's news... I didn't ask Pottsy since he told me that in July.
this is a bit beside the point, but why do large "festival" shows in England sell tickets before the lineup is even announced? for a charity show that had a great lineup last year, i can see buying tickets for that. but what of the summer festivals where they sell out tickets before you even know who you're seeing? sounds like a bum's lottery to me. i'd hate to shill out 60 squid to end up seeing the killers headline or something.
oh, and to steer things back where they belong, do you think we may finally see that belated FREEBASS premiere?
Even though I'll go, this will be shite.
If they have the same line up as last year, it will be a complete joke. They would need a big headliner, and the two names that spring to mind are Morrissey (definite no no) or Richard Ashcroft (who barely had the Arena half full in November). I suppose Oasis might do it, but there attitude towards stuff like this rules them out.
Probably wll have Kloot, Liam Frost, Elbow et al play down the bill. And maybe Johnny Marr will do some more Smiths songs with Rourke again! 
Maybe someone like James might re form for a one off. Cant see it myself, but you never know.

to be fair, i went to leeds last year just because pearl jam were playing - and apart from them, i really wasn't bothered about anyone else on the line up, it was all shite to my eye. but it was okay, the camping and the general atmosphere was so good that it didn't matter.
i already bought my ticket for leeds 07 
to be fair, quite a few bands i love are bringing out new albums and such, so there is a fair chance that i will be there for more than one band this year (i.e metallica, alter bridge, dinosaur jr, bloc party..) but if i'm there for one band again i'm sure it will be great, cos leeds 06 was the best weekend ever. 
No update on the Official Site. And still no word on the DVD from last time.
I doubt NO will make it, March 30th is on a Friday and they don't play fcuking weekends!
I'm only going if Fradley promises to look after me at the front again

NATCH!!!!!
Uncle Liam wrote: The DVD releases is supposed to co incide with this gig.
Very true - a finished version does exist, so maybe it'll be released in time for the next one?
Personally, I'm going to wait until the line-up is confirmed before deciding to buy a ticket - after all, they didn't sell out last year, did they? If Monaco are confirmed, I could be persuaded to make the trip! :)
As for other festivals not mentioning line-ups, it's more the atmosphere I tend to go to (e.g. Big Chill/Glasto/etc) rather than the actual bands performing. Anyway, as a general rule of thumb, if the festival was good the year before, then it's probably going to be as good the following year (i.e. type of bands performing, atmopshere, etc).
I enjoyed the last one. I thought Marr did a great job and enjoyed the atmosphere (note the small 'a' - see what I've done there).
Sure it was a bit shambollic, but that's Manchester, innit?
El Jarvo wrote: Am I the only one who, as with last year's offering, thinks this will be totally shite.
I'll go (and I will this time, as it may be the only gig they do) if the Order are playing, but won't bother for any of the other bands.
El Jarvo wrote: Am I the only one who, as with last year's offering, thinks this will be totally shite.
Nope.
Although some of it was alright last year. Doves were good, and... erm... well, Guy Garvey having to re start Forget Myself as it was getting no reaction was quite funny.
BIGINOIL wrote:

Well, I did see them on a friday and a sunday the last time ;)
Might go to this one but will wait until the line up is confirmed. Even if NO don't play it may still be a good opportunity for meet up's and if 808 State are on I'd defo be interested as I've never seen Graeme Massey and co. live before. Cheers!
Why do some people want the line up to be the same as last year? That would just be pointless!
Would definately go if New Order play and it was a guaranteed New Order set.
Last time pissed me off a little with the JD only set.
I enjoyed the line-up last year.Even despite Bez being shite,his girlfriend had a cracking pair of lungs on her
Voice I mean!
And Doves were ace too.
This year as well as the Order,think I'll have Marr,Doves and Inspirals,with a contribution or two from a Gallagher(or two).
Finale last year was amazing.WROTE FOR LUCK performed as a wall of sound,by a stage full of guitarists.
the official site seems to have changed to www.versuscancer.org says it at the bottom of the story manchetereveningnews website
Here's the official website for details!
Closely guarded secret line-up still but you can go and add your name for e-mail updates.
Uncle Liam wrote: Even though I'll go, this will be shite.

Having seen Morrissey this year (and to be fair thought his GMex performance was better than Apollo earlier in the year) Marr's How Soon is now blew Mozzer's band off the stage.
As for others we might expect - ACR? Inspirals? Freebass? Ian Brown would be a great coup
Uncle Liam wrote: Even though I'll go, this will be shite.

why is it ok for morrissey to play as many smiths song as he wants
yet when marr and rourke get together and play them, that warrants a " "
Because, quite simply, at least Morrisseys and the lads versions of the songs are not simply culled from the original then re produced. I think the Johnny Marr version last year was exceptionally overrated, especially compared to the Morrissey version of last year and of 04.
One thing that genuniely amazed me about last years gig was how high Marr was up the bill. Considering how unbelievably awful the Boomslang album was, it really was a disgrace.
Although saying that, I dont recall ever saying it was OK for Morrissey to play Smiths songs either. Looking at the expression of some band members onstage over the last nine months, it appears that I might not be alone in thinking this.

I suppose Inspirals are on tour, but wont draw anymore. Same with ACR.
Does anyone know if Freebass are actually any good?
Ian Brown would be a good shout. A much bigger draw than New Order these days as well.
I've enjoyed hearing Morrissey singing Smiths songs, although the current guitarist is nothing on Marr so it didn't sound as good.
The highlight of Man V Cancer last year was definatley Marr doing There is a Light. I thought he did a great job of it.
Yeah, I'd probably say out of the following:
Ah well, we'll wait and see... :)
http://www.versuscancer.org/ Ill defo be there it was a fab night last time. Thought they werent going to do another one as it as in January last time. Oasis offered signed guitar last time as they couldn`t be there so who knows....
Nick King wrote: Yeah, I'd probably say out of the following:

Freebase and/ or Monaco. Really like the sound of this. The End w/ everyone on stage last time was genius. If this thread isn't a tripped up. Fun quote- bracket mess.
hookys the first person to comfirm he's doin the gig,on manchesteronline now in music section

Whaaa! Fcuking YESSSSS!!!
It's getting better then, the Bunnymen are still good value for a nostalgia trip. At least they play all the songs from 1980/81 still!
I'm up for going if Brown plays, if only to see which member(s) of the audience he stops the show for and picks a fight with.
Last time i saw Brown in the MEN he was really good.
You'd have to say that it'll be a Stone Roses heavy set. Wouldnt surprise me to see Mani play a few songs with him. Or Noel Gallagher come out and Do "Keep What Ya Got" like they did in 04.
Last two times I've seen Ian Brown I've walked out. Walked in late at Brighton 18 months ago, then fcuked off early cos he was in an arsey mood (even arsier) than usual and even when he did She Bangs the bar still didn't clear so getting a drink was a mare. And then walked out six songs in at Buenos Aires simply cos there was no ale to be had there.
The boy can't sing at all. Got some good tunes, but he can't sing.
In fairness, he's not as bad as he used to be. Some Stone Roses bootlegs i've got are awful, but by his standards he was on reasonable form in 05. Sometimes, notably Glastonbury, he was actually in tune.
I was shocked as well.

He was SHIT in Buenos Aires, and that's less than two months ago. Perhaps he didn't need to try quite so hard cos very few people there had Engerlish as their first language, I dunno?
Fuck knows how many takes he needs to actually get each line right on record?

Yeah, but surely - as with another pop combo quite popular round here - it's all part of the charm, innit??!!

I'm sorry, but there's limits. Barney can't sing, gratis, but he's Pava-fcuking-rotti when lined up against Brown.
And Brown just ain't got the material. Few standout tunes, but he'll never compete with his Roses stuff.
Ian Brown is possibly the worst "professional" singer I've ever heard. He wouldn't pass the audition on the X Factor!

well, im deffo in for gig & meet-up, saw the Bunnymen's Xmas gig in L'pool & it was 2 hrs of quality nostaliga ace - With A Hip, Going Up etc.. Monkey man will be a canny laugh :D
i was really trying hard not to go to this but its getting very tempting now with brown and bunnymen.although i didnt enjoy the bunnymen slot at v festival,the time allowed meant they only did singles.
MONTY The Merciless wrote: It was about £30 last time.
I'm sure it was about 42 notes. I ordered two tickets from Ticketshite and with all the extras they chuck on it came to about £98.
it was £42, and it'll be more this year. closer to £50 i reckon.
Charlatans just confirmed as well.

You're right there. The MEN gig was pretty good - although the sound was a bit iffy at times.
Just got an e-mail update.Tickets available from TICKETBASTARD or SEE-TICKETS Friday 12th from 9am.
Also on SATURDAY 13th,Andy Rourke's turning up at Cathedral Gardens hoping to break a world record in the largest number of buskers,so ANY VOLUNTEERS? I'm going to bring my spoons.

Not necessarily a bad thing that is it, Tim? Goes against what punk is all about passing the X Factor audition. But I'll admit getting Brown on there to sing the theme from The Bodyguard would make excellent telly

I'd even pay good money to vote for Ian Brown if he did that one - perhaps they could do Celebrity X-Factor, then again don't go there

Like I said, he's got a few standout tunes. Golden Gaze sits happily in my 25 most played tracks on me iPod. An absolute classic track. However, the vocal you hear on vinyl ain't nish like it sounds when he attempts it live.
Still, it's all in the charm, I guess.
Right, I'm in for Mancland. Just booked a train up on the Friday arvo cos the Mighty 'Ats are Oop Norf on the Saturday too so might as well make a weekender of it!
Will be good to see some of you cnuts again!
Oooh, exciting! Am I safe to assume it won't sell out again, or at least not for a few weeks???
Doctor Clayhead wrote: Oooh, exciting! Am I safe to assume it won't sell out again, or at least not for a few weeks???
Dunno but we've got the same idea, I can't be arsed parting with £50 or thereabouts right at this moment in time. Would prefer to snag a ticket closer to the gig.
It'll sell out tomorrow lunchtime then.

I agree he'll never match his Roses stuff.That's a tall order. And he is a shite singer live.But he's class in a glass just for his Roses stuff.Some of his solo stuff is tops,but not much,Golden Gaze,The fisherman,F.E.A.R I rate. However I'm on nights so I'll miss this one aswell.Effin typical.Really like the look of this line up an all.
Undecided at the moment. The lineup holds more interest for me this year. Last time it was 808,Doves and NO. I doubt NO will do this one but I'd defo be up for it if they did.

Any NOOLer got a spare Standing they'd be interested in parting with? I can sort you out with the cash pronto.
It didn't sell out this quickly last year!
I totally forgot. Didn't think it would sell out.

Fucking hell. Will probably meet up with you scabs prior to the gig anyway for beer and to and see if someone will sell me a ticket, but otherwise......BOLLOCKS!!!
They only went on sale today didn't they? Fuck sake,i aint got time to spend 3 hours hitting redial from 9am till noon.

Well as it is my birthday a few days before i shall try and get into town for a beer.......and a ticket.
if you dont get a standing ticket, then i reckon (barring they add a fucking band of oasis propertions to the bill) they'll be a crash on t'ebay the week before. if not, just get seated and jump the barricade!

You lot want to listen to XFM Manchester.They've been giving away tickets for VS CANCER all day. Got me and Julie a ticket this morning,after doing redial for half hour. Curious to know if indeed it's the unveiling of FREEBASS,who's the lead singer.Could it be WYLIE.......or ASHCROFT?

what do think hooky be doing anyway? playing shite dance tracks inbetween,he was first confirmed act wasn't he 
There's a rumour (probably totally untrue) on another forum that somebody 'in the know' has said that Morrissey, The Killers and Kaiser Chiefs are going to be performing.
But don't take my word for it, it is a rumour afterall.
The Morrissey rumour is sheer bollocks. Both Kaisers and The Killers are free on that date but still probably unlikely fitting in with the rest of the bill.

I know somebody who's received their tickets already, that's quick. Anybody else had theirs?
Seated tix on eBay are into triple figures now,no standing even on there. Looks like i wont get a look in at all. Mind,only bothered about The Bunnymen anyway.

Two more "massive" acts to be announced. Plus, the winner of this months XFM unsigned band of the month will open the gig. So thats longer in the pub then.
So, who are the acts? Badly Drawn Boy and Who else?
I've also booked half the day off work, so will be out on the beer at 1pm.
So has anyone managed to get any standing tickets yet after the big sell out. And where is the big meet up for this?
I'll be in Lass O Gowrie at 1pm for my lunch, then onto Temple Bar by 2 to drink lots of foreign beer.

Only via ebay, but the guy did have the tickets already, so he sent them straight away!
Ain't thought about that sort of thing yet! Mind you, haven't booked train yet or got a ticket, so it's very much a disorganised one so far.

anyone know yet what times things are happening? arranging minibus and want drinking time before hand
So there's no New Order doing this one then, just Hooky with Freebass? Don't think I will bother. Went last year, worth it just to see 24 Hours. I had hoped it would be a one off performance of that, something special, but no of course they had to play it every other gig in 2006 as well.

Are Freebass doing this? Thought they'd lost their lead singer?
Time for Monaco to be reborn, perhaps?

Damn good question, all we know at the moment is that Hooky's appearing - probably dj'ing?
The after-show party, btw, currently consists of 808 DJ's/Utah Saints/Doves/Mike Joyce (Smiths)/Mani - should be a bit of a laff! :)
Po Na Na, down the side of the BBC on Oxford Road. Charles Street I think.
Remember going in there after G-Percussion quite a few years back. (...was it '97 or '98??) Smoked too much dope, was sick and went home! Not been back since!
Paul Weller confirmed by XFM this morning. And Mcalmont and Butler.
Dropped hints Oasis would be playing as well. I'm sure they wont be...

Weller is shit. I saw a lot of crap at V Festival last year, but Weller was by far the worst act of the weekend. Wild Wood my arse.
Its a shame because The Jam were really quite quite good.
Uncle Liam wrote: Its a shame because The Jam were really quite quite good.
Liam, the Jam were probably THE biggest band on the planet ... before you were born.
Well, it were either them or Madness. Maybe the Specials?
Whatever. The Jam were fcuking HUGE!
They werent as big as The Police
Anyway, since when has being the biggest band on the planet equated to being the best band on the planet? If that were the case, Take That would ben the best band in the world today!

How. Would. You. Know?
In truth, ABBA were probably the biggest band on the planet back then. But you get the picture.
Er, or Bucks Fizz? 
Or Spandau. Or Duran.
But, truth is, the Jam were rather fcuking huge. But thanks for reminding us they were quite good!
Just a shame Weller is shite on his own.

Okay, to try and avoid taking time off (which, unfortunately, is proving rather difficult this month - I had to beg for the 30th March...), and due to the fact I'm in Telford that week (and not due to return back home until the Thursday afternoon), I *might* be able to leave Telford on the Wednesday afternoon, and get to Manchester by about 6'ish (on the Wolverhampton train), and then get a very early train back from Manchester to London the next day...
I never got to see Monaco at the time, otherwise I wouldn't be contemplating this!

Tell me about it, I'm up there most weeks (and have been since May last year)... Horrid place, and I've stayed in most of the hotels round Telford/Wellington/Shifnall/Ironbridge/Shrewsbury - very depressing...
The Music For Pleasure forum regulars are all wetting themselves over the prospect of this gig.
Oh yes, both of them are ecstatic
And what exactly does a VIP ticket get you ??
A commemerative Hard Rock Cafe cap or something
Leggy D wrote: And what exactly does a VIP ticket get you ?? A commemerative Hard Rock Cafe cap or something
Probably!
BTW, for anyone who works in London and can't get Thursday off, there's a 5:20am train departing MCr, arriving back at 8:04am... If I do go, that's the one I'll be catching!
Leggy D wrote: And what exactly does a VIP ticket get you ?? A commemerative Hard Rock Cafe cap or something
Gets you pretty much cack all. You get a nicer area to watch the gig in and thats it.
Durutti Column the week after, the day before Manc V Cancer for any early arrivals into town for that as well.

True, but if I'm making a special journey to get to Manc for it, an extra 15-odd quid won't make much odds - the train fares/hotels will be the main expenditure!
And it's for charidee! :)

Shame Liam cant be arsed...
According to a Myspace bulletin, Noel is headlining. Which is a shame, because Ian Brown- with full band, should go on last, much more exciting and energetic that a "semi acoustic" set.
cheers for the update & link Dave, but sadly (for me!) all the standing av' gone. I aint sitting in that shithole.

Got a couple of tickets for this now, so no longer need any :)
Theres one an at night and day which is
a) nearer and b) cheaper
I'm convinced I can find the lost art of live music somewhere after the cancer gig that night though.

:p
Personally, I'm only going there because it's a long time since I've gone to an 808 DJ-set - they normally put on a good show, and play some decent tunes, and since I'm in the area on that day...
This is the Night & Day after-party, btw:
TAILGUNNER plus guests also MANCHESTER Vs CANCER Aftershow Party with Special guests & DJ Wes (Up The Racket)
Door: £6 Advance: £N/A*
Times: 8PM - 2AM
Tailgunner, the next generation in rock and roll. Mark Coyle, often acknowledged as the sixth member of Oasis is back with his band Tailgunner. Introducing newest members Dave Sinnott and Gianluca Rizzuto, The bands energy and no bullshit attitude is clearly seen in there music.

Incase anyone is still looking for tickets, Julie managed to get 2 tix on e bay. Standing. Buy it now - £67 each. There were still 16 left last night. Don't like buying from e bay-especially when it's a charity event but I think it'll be too good a night to miss!
Get in ya bastard - im in now - fookin mint
Just need to book train, gaff and prepare for 'bad-back' day
Bit late in the day, but if someone's possibly got a spare standing please be sure to drop us a PM. Got a mate of a mate who suddenly fancies this!
Ta muchly!
Plus Mr Sidebottom (according to his Myspace)!
(I'll have to dig out that cover of Queen songs he did a while back - quality 12" that)!

Spoke to Hooky on Wednesday night,and he sez FREEBASS won't get a look-in next week.
Though it seems a bit unlikely that the big 3 won't play together at all,more likely not their own material.

That's why I'm giving it a miss... Ian Brown drives me to drink... and I swear there was something in that cheese...
what you mean?.brown is a legend.ok he cant fooking sing but i was hoping for some stone roses stuff.thats would be better than saving more time for noel or weller for me.brown should be the headline at this
a lot of these tickets were sold as ian brown headlining.it dont matter though,be a good time for all that are there again and of course not to lose sight of the fact that its good for the charity as well,see ya's there

yeah
well he left but didn't really let the right people know
so about 5 mins before the finale everyone was apparently rushing around trying to find him
would've been good to see all 3 of freebass up there at the end but that will happen in good time
Walked in just as Ceremony started, which was amazing as we thought we would miss it.
The Charlatan's set was really good, 'specially when Weller joined them.
Couldn't see the point of Noel G's acoustic set. It was just like someone strumming a guitar in your front room and everyone singing along half pissed. But then I'm not really a fan.
Not a patch on last years for me, overall. But a good night out.
