well travelled down from london to watch this event! was mainly intrested in gary numan & feeder! both were exellent when they finally got on stage but was dissapointed in the set times! numan played 45 mins and feeder about the same! i know there wer problems on stage with equipment but didnt really feel the event offered value for money" would rather have seen one of the other stage being lost so theres just the tent and the main stage to leave the headline acts more time to play..

Event Venue: Mighty Boosh Festival, Hop Farm, Kent

"Please welcome on to the stage Gary..."

The rest of Gary Numan's introduction was lost in a sea of applause- so much so infact the begining of the first song was impossible to hear!

All the while Gary was on stage the atmosphere on the Hop Farm that afternoon was electric. The crowd couldn't get enough.

When Gary sung his signiture song, Cars, I was blown away, not only by his energetic performance but by the sheer amount of people singing in unison.

An amazing performer that has clearly not lost his touch!!

Event Venue: Millennium Music Hall


Gary Numan came in to the consciousness of the pop public in 1978. Many critics thought that his alien attack would vanish in to the electronic ether. However, the man born Gary Webb has ensured that his ongoing wizardry has had an indelible effect upon our aural annals, and his songs have also been covered or sampled by a random range of artists, e.g. The Foo Fighters, Damon Albarn, Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson, Beck, DJ Hell, Basement Jaxx and Moloko. This band of performers crosses many musical boundaries, and as such the cynics who have regarded Numan to be pretentious and bombastic have failed to acknowledge that this seminal synthesiser star is as still as vital as ever. Numan is an innovator who would rather satisfy his own artistic needs than be driven by media acceptance. Numan can also count upon the support of a loyal and obsessive fan base that has made a lifetime commitment to The Pleasure Principle pioneer; and, these electric friends came out in force to witness their hero at the Millennium Music Hall, Cardiff.

Numan programmed his yesterdays forward to the tomorrows world that he always sought, and the bright lights of the stage masked the dark delights of a six piece band that is hell bent on producing power! The technological trickery drives a traditional template and then the roles are reversed as the emphasis meanders between art rock exploration and heavy machine execution. This is not a greatest hits package even though there is plenty of gas in that tank-but, this is an evening of the past creating the future and then the clocks are then diverted to an as yet unvisited time zone that occupies another distant planet!

The devotion of the crowd to the hammer of their god is a site to behold and Numan responds with humble courtesy and a lengthy encore. The cries of 'Numan! Numan! Numan!' echoed around a sweltering auditorium, and the Music for Chameleons on offer proved that it was not robotic rock for disenchanted Daleks! The Numan call of Me I disconnect from You was not indicative of the atmosphere of a vibrant venue on a bitter winter night as a special bond joined a warrior and his worshippers!
