Interesting events
- On Sunday 30th April 2006 at one of the Earls Court GIAN dates, Taking Back Sunday vocalist Adam Lazzara accidentally hit bassist Matt Rubano in the face with a microphone, which he was spinning around. Matt suffered mild concussion, and received an injury to his head which required many stitches. He went off stage for about five minutes then came back on to finish their set. Incidentally, during the band's last song a day earlier at the MEN arena, the pedal to the bass drum broke and the band had to stall whilst a replacement was found.
- At Give It A Name 2005, the band Fightstar got a mixed reception of cheers and boos (and even a few shoes thrown at the stage), but played on regardless.
- Also at Give It A Name 2005, Dallas Green from Alexisonfire joined Rise Against during their set to sing the song Heaven Knows from Revolutions Per Minute.
- At Give It A Name 2006, wiL Francis from Aiden joined Goldfinger on stage to sing the song "Open Your Eyes".
