”Quite a feeling” – här gjorde stjärnorna Hultsfredsdebut.
1997 spelade Sahara Hotnights för första gången på Hultsfredsfestivalen. Då var medlemmarna bara 16-17 år gamla och de gjorde succé på Stora Dans. Tre år senare återvände Sahara Hotnights till festivalen, den här gången för att spela på den största scenen.
Andra storheter som har spelat på Stora Dans tidigt i karriären är First Aid Kit, bob hund, The Shins, Meshuggah, José González och Lars Winnerbäck, som 1993 spelade på Stora Dans med sitt punkband Snoddas. 2009 återförenade Lars Winnerbäck Snoddas för en specialspelning på Stora Dans
Namnförvirring på Stora Dans:
Ultima Thule, The Killers och Sia har alla spelat på Stora Dans. Men det rör sig om ett bluesrockband från Estland, husbandet på en Stockholmsklubb respektive en producent av minimalistisk house och ska inte förväxlas med andra band eller artister med samma namn.
