Pauly ≫ Gigography ≫ 1996 ≫ Phoenix Festival
Thu Jul 18 1996
Avon Park Raceway Longmarston, Stratford Upon Avon
I clearly remember David Devant and Holy Barbarians, David Bowie, Sex Pistols and Foo Fighters too I think, must have seen a lot more though...
Remember there was a HUGE queue in the heat to get in, we missed a lot of the Thursday but were there to catch David Bowie.
Found in an old Melody Maker gig guide.

I was at this one, more from this year in my gigography for 1996. I saw David Bowie at least four times; Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert @ Wembley Stadium (1992), Phoenix Festival @ Avon Park Raceway (1996), Glastonbury (2000), + Old Trafford Cricket Ground (2002), though I still have some bragging tagging to do so this may go up. Part of every gig I went to from '87 to 2026. An obvious step from my Best gigs of all time blog post. Yeah I know a bit nerdy, let's let that go though, I'm having fun reminiscing about this stuff.
