[quote=""Happiness""]yes it was hinted at, but then everybody went back to the idea of it being a rock or metal band.[/quote]

Thats not exactly true, and wasn't even wishful thinking... It was more of an issue about what should play but knew would never play!

I think iron maiden, muse and bon jovi, would be more then a sensible line up! :P

Well it would certainly be the most popular line up... and because we repressent the entire population

, and this is a democracy, you have no choice Alton, the people have voted for Iron Maiden, Muse and Bon Jovi! Now make it happen! :P

lets chuck in Alice Cooper, Turisas, Eluveitie, The Big 4 (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax) Bryan Addams, Aerosmith... and how about... Justin Beiber?

Well after that pile of awesome we'd need someone to throw our bottles of urine at :P

fredward · Sat Mar 12, 2011 4:46 pm

I was just thinking it's a fantastic way to get rid of litter, every one throws it all at the stage so it's all in one place and therefore easy to clean up!

I like you're thinking!

Just had a e-mail from Towers Nerd to say that The Black Eyed Peas are performing at Alton Towers on Wednesday 6th July.

Just in case you were wondering, I was being sarcastic!

Sad day indeed

Although it has not been publically announced that a second concert will be taking place it has been confirmed internally and to comercial partners (such as coach companies)

The original date for the second concert was the 29th of June but it has indeed now been moved back to the 6th of July.

Happiness also confirmed last week that the Black Eyed Peas would be performing.

6th July? A Wednesday in term time?
Doesn't seem like it will be a hit.
Will be no where near as busy as they will expected.

But remember, nearly all three day festivals start on the Friday, which happens to be during term time, and they're still a massive hit! I don't think this concert is aimed at the kids as much as the Alton Towers Live festival that's happening just before.

It was mentioned some time back when the suggestions the second concert would be on a weekday, that many other gigs take place during a weekday and are well attended. Maybe Altons location may have a slight negative impact on numbers attending compared to gigs held in City Centre locations, but I doubt a mid week date would of been chosen if it was thought it would have a major negative impact in the number of people attending.

Somehow I think this is for exactly the same audience.

Disapointing.

Awesome! The Black Eyed Peas are not only huge in the UK, but the US too.

You can't deny that they have brought out some actual killer catchy tunes!

Well done Towers

Disappointed it's on a Week Day. Not to mention, July is often full of high school groups with a hideous atmosphere on park. Although with the academic year not finishing till July 27th this year, I guess this date is pretty early.

Thu Mar 17, 2011 8:09 pm

This date is ideal for people like me who finish in May/June.

Good group to choose though, the Black Eyed Peas are a big hit here and no doubt they will receive a good amount of guests too. While it's not ideal for those that work Monday-Friday the main target audience for this will be teens (the majority being students who have just finished their GCSEs/A Levels).

AstroDan · Thu Mar 17, 2011 8:12 pm

Black Eyed Peas are probably the most popular group at the primary school at which I work, and have been for a few years now - if you're local it's great but I doubt as many people will be able to combine a theme park day out and the concert.

I hope they are doing concert only tickets for this one. Not that I will be attending anyway!

I most definitely can!

Ok, i'm sorry guys, i'll stop flaming concerts at Towers... honestly... I think i'll just stay away from this thread!

Blaze · Thu Mar 17, 2011 8:52 pm

The next time I hear I Gotta Feeling, someone may die. It's one of the most infuriating songs I've heard in recent years this side of Gaga. Might just follow suit and stay out.
