“This is the best gig of your life. It is colorful. It is alive. Vibes are there,” Sian says, who’s anticipating to listen to “secret unpublished bits” from Barry's upcoming album.

“The entire point of the large weekend is that we have large headliners,” Greg says.

“But we also have a new music platform and then we have a phase of introduction, which finds the next Sam Fender.

“I feel the large weekend goes to do that.

“We put artists on the radio and return them from the early days … you can chart their progress.”

Greg says that it’s value noting the low-term artists earlier than it turns into the following large factor.

And a type of cyan is the “Fenomanl” singer-song Siena Spiro, who makes BBC debut on Saturday.

“My first main weekend, 2010, in Bangore, once I went as a punch, she says.

“Work which artists you want to see the most, and what you will be fine with disappearance,” they are saying.

“And don't leave it until you go on the festival.”

Greg says that you just shouldn’t be very strict together with your schedule.

“Go and see some items that you have never heard because those people will become the next big things,” they are saying.

“And then you can go: 'Yes, but I saw him in Sefton Park on a small stage five years ago.'

“So go and keep there, a handful of individuals within the crowd for a brand new band or a brand new artist. It's fairly an excellent factor.”
