10 things we want to see at 2013 Olympic stadium gigs

Noise, more Blur farewell gigs and more

 

  • NOISE. Lots of it - and after 10pm:  There was one big problem with Hyde Park gigs in 2012 - the sound levels, or lack of them. Just ask Bruce Springsteen. The Olympic stadium was purpose-built to hold huge events and built far enough away from snooty Londoners' homes to ensure that no one, no matter how famous, will have theur sound turned off midway through their show.

This week it has bee announced that Hyde Park gigs, including Wireless Festival and Hard Rock Calling would be taking place at the Olympic stadium in Stratford in 2013. This is a good thing because, quite frankly, the 2012 Hyde Park summer shows were a bit of a shambles.

One major problem dogged huge shows from the likes of Blur and Madonna - poor sound, with complaints from local residents about sound levels. Although quite frankly, if you can afford to live within earshot of Hyde Park, then you ought to be able to find the cash for some decent double glazing.

So, with the move of Live Nation gigs from Hyde Park to Stratford, we've come up with a list of things we want, nay, DEMAND to see happen inside the Olympic stadium.

Check out our selection here.
