Just read the evening news website and saw the following response

http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/entertainment/music/rock\_and\_pop/s/1034823\_more\_acts\_for\_versus\_cancer

The user comments seem to think that Electronic are playing? Anyone heard this

5 Feb 2008, 16:09

Same user seems to think The Verve and Maroon 5 are playing. :scratch:

I think it would be hilarious if Maroon 5 played!

I'm only saying that because I know I wont be there.

5 Feb 2008, 16:30

And Hooky's going to be there, according to this MEN article.

"I'm really looking forward to getting up on stage again this year."

It would be good if Electronic did play, but I doubt it - you never know, though... :shrug:

Can't find any other information apart from that bloke's comments, though...

Yeah but they don't break on impact!! :evil4:

Is there a definite line up ANYWHERE?

Fookin nightmare trying to find information for this.

I am actually looking forward to it and may even watch most of the bands, I quite like the Fratellis and The View, plus it will be good to see the Inspirals and The Mondays again (as long as they drop the stuff from that last album!)

Was hoping The Verve were gonna be there an all, never bothered with them the first time around.

My ticket come today. VERSUS CANCER 08...dedicated to NINA. Who is she,does anyone know?

11 Feb 2008, 15:48

I think she was a friend or relative of Andy Rourke's. I think every cancer gig so far has been dedicated to her.

you got a ticket?

if i had bought a ticket i would probably go anyway, just to abuse those rubbish bands.

12 Feb 2008, 06:13

Yup, I think staying in the pub is a much better option! :lol:

Jack's list seems to be the final line-up apart from "very special guests" (who probably won't be on until just before it closes)...

Oh, doors apparently open at 5:30pm, with the concert starting at 6:30pm...

Ah well...

All those in favour of the pub......

12 Feb 2008, 11:05

I quite like The View.

And The Mondays and Inspirals of course.

12 Feb 2008, 15:37

I only like the view when there is cleavage in front of me :food:

12 Feb 2008, 16:34

So thats why you enjoyed Arcade Fire so much? :laugh:

Three people have tried to offload tickets for this onto me today. I wouldnt go if you paid me. The whole line up has shitty XFM Manchester fingerprints all over it. :nonono:

He's not watching cricket that night though, he's stalking Client in Sveden, of all places! :eek3:

Which actually sounds like an infinitely better trip! :scratch:
