• Jeremy Smyth

  Big Country are responsible for me wearing metal collar tips in the 80s and thinking it was cool. I'm not sure I can forgive them for that.

  We are very excited! Just been to see Big Country last month and they were amazing. Fantastic line up so far. So pleased about The South coming too. Think its gonna be the best line- up yet.

  Worst solfest lineup i've seen for years! Think some new blood is needed on the commitee

• Amy

  20 March 2012, 8.22pm

  I disagree! Im very exited about the Lineup, The commitee has pulled it out of the bag again :D

• Bernard

  Message to all the moaners - why don't you politely disappear to Leeds or Reading for that weekend & leave the rest of us to enjoy Solfest - we won't miss you. Xxx

  Looking forward to it.

  I can't believe you have booked Adam Ant... THANK YOU !!!! I have seen him twice in the past year and he is as brilliant as ever, if not better . I can't wait.

  @Festival Baz if Orbital are there so am I!

• Mark In Chorley

  23 March 2012, 11.26am

  Was really hoping you could have got Paul Hearon on the line up this year, but I guess with The South being on there there's not much chance of that!

  Good line up tho, can't wait for me tickets!

• damian burns

  Looks good can't wait I've been to them all bar the very first one and had a great time at them all I hope there is some good dance music on aswell as the mainstage acts. Keep up the good work solfest lets not forget until this came along we had virtually nothing in this part of the world so lets embrace it folks. See you all in August. P.S Stuart Adamson and Billy Bragg shaped my life and the drums in Dog eat dog are the business.

• STUART

  24 March 2012, 9.30pm

  Last saw Big country with Stuart Adamson RIP. Will be fantastic along with KT Tunstall,

  Looks like a great rocking weekend.

  Any chance of Pikey Beatz in the Bar tent this year?

• Martyn Bell

  25 March 2012, 12.21pm

  Great idea PikeyBeatz will be great in the Bar Tent .

• Cat Meaow

  26 March 2012, 9.27am

  Big Country Rock Harder than Rock Itself!!!!

• Johnny Bastard

  26 March 2012, 10.23am

  Billy Bragg has convinced me to get tickets, the rest of the acts are just filler. Announcing Big Country as headliners does not bode well for the rest of the line up.

• Erica

  27 March 2012, 9.10pm

  Looking good!

  I also would love to see pikey beatz again at solfest

• Andy

  29 March 2012, 8.52pm

  Been coming for years, don't think we will bother this time. Book The Vaselines, their song 'The 80's were shit' sums up the line-up nicely.

• Neil

  29 March 2012, 9.39pm

  Just learnt you have Big Country booked to appear, thankyou they are fantastic. Saw them earlier this year they were awesome. Can't wait to see them at Solfest they will rock the place.
