Pauly ≫ Gigography ≫ 1996 ≫ Essential Festival
Stanmer Park 292 Ditchling Road, Brighton, BN1 6JG
Super Furry Animals, Kula Shaker, Menswear, Echobelly, Marion, Chumbawamba, Bis and more... missed David Devant, but I did trek there with 16 people in my bus.
I was at this one, more from this year in my gigography for 1996. I saw Super Furry Animals probably 18 times; Essential Festival @ Stanmer Park ('96), Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms (1996), Phoenix Festival @ Avon Park Raceway ('96), Reading Festival (1996), Mean Fiddler (1996), Manic Street Preachers @ Brixton Academy (1996), London Astoria ('97), Glastonbury (1997), Shepherds Bush Empire (1998), London Astoria ('99), Glastonbury (1999), Brixton Academy ('99), Reading Festival ('00), Kentish Town Forum ('01), Ocean ('02), New Order @ Finsbury Park ('02), Stephen Malkmus @ Royal Festival Hall (2003), + Glastonbury (2003). Part of every gig I was at from 1987 to 2024. An obvious step from my Best Gigs Ever blog post. Yeah I know it's very geeky, let's let that go though, I'm enjoying reminiscing about this stuff.
