2015 Rumours

There are a number of Tweets (including one by Chris Evans) that the Rats have confirmed CarFest 2015. That's both North and South - Hampshire and Cheshire. I'm hoping so, this 2014 South was over my birthday weekend. . Time will tell if this is true. biggrin

Early August - North 

Late August - South 

If true, then it looks like the Rats will be doing another year.  I thought they may have stopped after the current dates.  I wonder if they will do any big festivals next year.  I did expect something comparable to the Isle of Wight this year.

I wonder if they will do another tour or just stick to festivals. Hoping this is true and they'll do another tour. It can't go on forever, but I'm loving it while it does!

According to tweets Hyde Park was mentioned by Chris Evans on Radio 2 today, in relation to the Boomtown Rats. I wasn't listening, so I've no idea if that's true and exactly what was said. Was anyone listening?

I suspect the festivals and tours go hand in hand.   By doing the festivals, people who have seen them turn up at the venues.  I suspect they get paid well enough for the festival appearances and it is low risk as any cancellations or low attendances aren't down to them.

It is possible they may just do festivals next year and not tour Britain. Some of the venues on this tour are  smaller than last time out. Cambridge Junction is smaller than Corn Exchange; Forum is smaller than Roundhouse. None of the dates have sold out from what I see and I don't imagine it makes financial sense to do sixteen date tours in smaller venues.  Well not unless lots people are paying for the VIP meet and greet.

Given my aversion to heading outside the M25 and standing in a muddy field I hope they do tour next year

CarFest was conceived by Chris Evans and is an event that combines classic cars, live music and food whilst also raising money for BBC Children in Need. The festival will take place on Friday 31st July to Sunday 2nd August 2015 at Oulton Park Race Circuit, in Cheshire, and there's a sister event in the south at Laverstoke Park Farm. I can get to Oulton Park, in the beautiful Cheshire countryside, in 20 minutes. Postcode is Crewe 6 (CW6).

 Isn't this where we all came in back in 2008?

Bob was on the Chris Evans show on Tuesday doing the History 'bit' around 7.30am and Rat Trap was played, the 14th October 1978 being the release date of 'our first number one'.

Carfest tickets for 2015 were confirmed as going on sale on 07/11/14.  £1.506m was raised by Carfest for Children in Need in 2014.

Carfest tickets on sale from yesterday and Chris played Mondays at 7.55am saying he couldn't believe 'Bobby Boomtown' had agreed to play both dates north and south.
