The Where & When listing also records Siouxsie and the Banshees at Chancellor Hall on 9 April 1978. The 1978 research sweep classifies that appearance as supported by secondary evidence; no ticket has been matched.

Video supplied by the site owner, recorded at V Festival in Chelmsford.

The supplied note says “Aug 20, 2008”. A contemporary festival listing gives the Hylands Park dates as 16–17 August 2008, so the 20 August date is retained as supplied video information and is not treated as the performance date. See the festival date listing →

Festival ticket evidence
Three tickets in the E: drive collection document printed admission details for V96, V98 and the 2006 V Festival at Hylands Park. The tickets are evidence of admission issued; they do not by themselves establish attendance or that every advertised performance took place.
Programmes
The surviving Library includes a first-hand V Festival review, V Festival: Being Backstage, by Alex Hyde and Mike Hadgraft. The original document is preserved in the Source Library and the review is now presented on the site.
Being Backstage
A first-hand review by Alex Hyde and Mike Hadgraft survives, covering The Wombats, Foo Fighters, Snow Patrol, Editors, Juliette and the Licks, The Cribs, Fratellis, Kasabian and The Killers. Read the complete archive transcription →
The Wombats
A family photograph and related archive post survive in the source collection. The date clues do not all agree, so this page preserves the provenance without assigning a year. Browse the preserved image thumbnails.
Archive principle
The Library material is being surfaced first. Original programmes, photographs and other surviving items remain linked to their source records, while first-hand writing is kept alongside the contemporary material. Further expansion will follow only where the Library contains supporting material.
