I went to a festival called Fake Fest a good few years back, maybe ten years ago, a whole day of outdoor music filled by tribute bands. The headliner and best act were called Musest, obviously a Muse tribute and they were fantastic - particularly as it’s no mean feat to replicate the musicianship and vocals in Muses music compared to other less grandiose acts. Seen No-Way-Sis and Bootleg Beatles at festivals before too, both very good at what they do.

I go to RockStock in Stockport every year - two days of tribute acts. Some of the best I've seen are Nirvana UK, Just Radiohead, the Toxicities (System of a Down), Red Hot Chili Peppers UK, aka Noel Gallagher, Spouky Kids (Marilyn Manson), Pearl Scam... too many to mention really. I'm stunned by the quality every time.

I also went to see the Mersey Beatles last year, and the Sound of Simon (Simon and Garfunkel) were incredible.

I do Rockport and Festwich, this year it’s moving to Heaton park a much bigger space than St Mary’s park where it always been held

Clone Roses were really good tbf.

I’ve done Fake Fest and RockStock too as above. Good way to enjoy the music you like and if drinking a fair bit across the day it doesn’t really matter by the end that they’re not the real deal

UK and Aussie Floyd. As good as Pink Floyd.

I really want to see Letz Zep. Heard good things about them. Seems tickets are like gold dust
