I was going to say ‘what about Gunnersbury?’ - not knowing it had been cancelled. You can hear the Gunnersbury cacophony from the Gtech, so presumably vice-versa as well.

 

[rebus]

Sally Stephens is going to hear the wrath of Chiswick fairly shortly.

 

[LostBee]

The Strand-on-the-Green NIMBY's are going to love this.

 

[RAF_Patto]

Those in the flats overlooking must be delightful!

 

[IslandBee]

I suggest Gojira, Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy and Children of Bodom!!

Right up their street!

Why? Loads of them go to the concerts in Gunnersbury park

 

[GlasgowBee]

Might be a good venue for Universal artists!

Are they queuing round the block (green) for the drum n bass festival... Councillor O Riley first in the queue surely...

I imagine they hate the distant boom boom boom on a hot day even more than the football traffic!

TIL Wellard also was in Gladiator

 

[bexleybee]

So you’re saying it should be Wellard featuring Dean Gaffney ?

 

[Silly Hat]

A real shame, after all the work she did in sorting out the parking for the West Country Bees’ minibus

Think they were for classical and opera one

 

[Chomp]

But but but but but what about our green, luscious pitch?!

 

[w7 bee]

Rick Wakeman with Hard Fi supporting .

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

The Damned ?
Neat, Neat, Neat.

 

[David Brentford]

Bluetones, Status Quo?

 

[brentford born & bred]

With his music industry connections can we expect the Gtech to start hosting summer music events?

Anyone booking that would go broke. They'd all sell out the Gtech on their own.

Perhaps Knocked Loose, who are the second support (behind Gojira) at the Metallica show at Championship club West Ham's race track of a ground in July

I saw them last summer. They were... loud.

I’d like to see Rotting Christ at the G-Tech.

 

[ruislip bee]

Can she sing or play the cello?

 

[badgerbee]

Sally Stephens is going to hear "The Wrath of Chiswick" fairly shortly.

Thrash Metal band?
What date are they booked for?

I think the James Dance quartet might go down well with the locals... Take a look at this video, 'jazz club the fast show' https://share.google/7sDr3RTGEcfirUSU9

 

[Hakonen_72]

Old school set with uninspired rock star attitude, no thank you.

Nice.

When was gunnersbury cancelled ?

They didn’t get planning permission from the council in time

Regret at the loss of thousands of pounds for some, relief for others: local businesses react to Gunnersbury Park festival cancellations

 

[AB]

We should get Rick Wakeman in with a full lightshow.

I would like to see them KNOCKED OUT TBH

 

[EarleyBee]

What difference would the stadium make to sound propagation. Presumably the stand would be at the east end. I would have thought a stadium would contain it more than speakers blaring out across a park.

Each to their own!

Probably the west as all the rigging trucks etc can park in that stand’s compound.

 

[Banana]

Yes, far more likely to be the west stand for the reasons you state. Free concert for the balconies too.

Just reading that article and I was shocked to see that there was “scantily clad girls” and “cocaine use” in the bathrooms.

Does anyone have the address of that place, as I want to ensure I avoid it if the festival is on again next year?

“We had to close off the toilets,” he said. “People were coming in, girls in the daytime dressed very scantily.

A major problem if you ask me

The coffee shop on Chiswick High Road next to Gunnersbury station!

That sounds like my kind of evening.

They should put that on the posters.

The actual quote was ‘very scantily’. What measure or scale is used for this, please? I’ll see if Wickes have got one…

I think it’s officially known as the nocoat scale.

Consultation info from the OS;

Brentford Football Club is exploring the possibility of hosting up to six live music events each year at Gtech Community Stadium.​

The concerts would be held over weekends in the summer months, when the pitch isn’t being used for football.​

We have a strong track record of managing attendees safely at the Gtech, and would apply that same experience, expertise, and operational planning to a small number of concerts each year.

The concerts would make use of the existing stadium, with no building works or permanent changes required. They will require permission from Hounslow Council, and we will agree limits on timings and noise, as well as clear plans for transport, stewards, toilets and litter.

At the Gtech, we have the opportunity to introduce a professionally managed, medium-scale concert destination for west London, bringing new cultural experiences to the local area, supporting local shops, restaurants, and hospitality businesses, and attracting new visitors to Brentford.

The club is holding two public drop-in events for its neighbours, supporters and the wider community to find out more about our proposal to host concerts at the Gtech. Come along to meet the project team and ask any questions you might have. These are taking place on:

• Saturday 18 July 2026, 10am - 1pm at Brentford FC Community Sports Trust, 1a Thomas Layton Way, London TW8 0SB
• Monday 20 July 2026, 5pm - 8pm at Clayton Hotel Chiswick, 626 Chiswick High Road, Chiswick, London W4 5RY

Can’t make the events?

Brentford's exhibition materials and feedback survey will be published on the club website from Saturday 18 July.

If this pisses off Tory councilllors in Chiswick then I’m all for it.

 

[LongLostBee]

The Spuds are going spend-crazy because they make so much from concerts.
I know we don't have the same capacity...but if we can extract a bigger margin concerts, in our nice part of London, and boost our PSR finances then why not!
