Shakedown Festival - Sat 24th

[n1 gull]

Looks like a good line up. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing Ed Sheeran.

Is anyone else going?

Nope, will be at Plymouth Argyle.

 

[Wilko]

I had tickets for the original date in July. Has it been re-arranged AGAIN/ I thought it was on this weekend or next? Oh and yes, Ed Sheeran really is the big thing at the mo, was interviewed on Radio 1 yesterday and came across as a top fella.

 

[Albion Dan]

If you are going on the 24th you are going to be very lonely considering its on the 17th. Know people that are going but think the lineup looks terrible and am going to Leicester instead.

 

[Albion Dan]

Also cant be good news they are still selling early bird tickets for the attendance numbers.

When it was originally postponed only around 2000 tickets had been sold. I have a bad feeling about this festival. It's a shame as Brighton could do with a high profile fezzie.

There hasnt been anything since the Essential Festival, which was excellent.

Agree..It's a shame the organisers were not excellent as well. They broke a number of covenants in their license/contracts and the council had no option but to refuse them future licenses.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I knew it. I have just heard the organisers have down sized the festival by 50%. Capacity is now 10k as opposed to 20.

 

[Albion Dan]

Looking at the lineup I'm astounded they ever thought that would draw a 20k crowd. Its frankly very poor.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Terrible lineup.

 

[Deleted member 18477]

shit line up. some good acts yes - example, ed sheeran.

but some proper stinkers! theres nowhere near enough good artists to attract 20K. they needed at least 5 or 6 good acts.

anyone that went to creamfields, glasto, v festival etc will think the organisers are having a laugh!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Well, that was predictable.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Well, that was predictable.

Sadly it was. But, I'm sure 2ManyDJs will be brilliant. They are always fun.

 

[sam86]

Been deciding to go since getting back from Reading. Can't decide.

Missed Ed Sheeran, and 2ManyDJs were incredible. Quite like Example as well.

It's scheduled to rain all day Saturday, which may unfortunately be the deciding factor...

 

[sam86]

Don't know how often 2ManyDJs mix up their set either. Would be slightly disappointed if it was the same set as Reading.

I have had some of my best days raving in a poncho and wellies.

I have seen them a month apart and set was noticeably different. They certainly had their songs of the moment but otherwise it was not the same.

Agreed, but I still don't think I'm back to 100% after Reading! Wettest weekend, EVER.

That is good to know...

Also, just a little message here for DJ Mehdi who sadly passed away yesterday.
