They should just do a massive boy band festival.

NKOTB, Backstreet Boys, Take That or Boyzone, Nsync, Boyz 2 Men, 98 degrees and Richard Marx (since he helped write most of all of their songs)

Instead of t-shirts they'd have to sell underwear though.

There's one paul van dyke track i love, i ended up getting one of his albums on the back of it.

There's a really good album called "miles gurtu"..it's an album by robert miles. He's prob known best for the trance song "children".

"Meatloaf. Which started my long standing obsession with rock music. And ended up with me at bloodstock festival last year

Our son was at Bloodstock in 2018

So were a lot of folk, all ages

It was worth it just for the atmosphere alone "

He was 16. We didn't ask what he got up to. The fact he came home, in one piece, looking more or less the way he did when he left was enough for us

He clearly had a whale of a time with a bunch of older mates.

If raves count then it was rez 5 in 96 at the Edinburgh festival show ground.

If it's a band then I saw Alabama 3 in Newcastle student union back in 98.

Thin Lizzy was the first one I was taken too, I was a bit too young to remember it. The first one I went to that I can remember was Gary Moore in 1985.

My parents took me to the top of the pops awards when I was a kid if that counts? My dad always fancied Kylie so I remember her being one if the acts.

Other than that I think it was Avril Lavinge when I was about 13!
