No Rock And Roll Fun

ONE WATER-TRAGEDY BAND REPLACES ANOTHER: In the wake of Neil Primrose's almost cartoon-like dive into the shallow end, the V2002 bill has been rejigged. Chemical Brothers move to main stage to take over Travis' slot, while the gap on the second stage is now going to be completed by the pie-tastic Manic Street Preachers - making a Welsh headline monopoly, as the fantastically dull Stereophonics are doing the top table on the main.
We'd imagine that Manics fans who had cheerfully been ignoring the chance to buy tickets are gnawing their legs off right now.
