Shorehamstock [Worthing Weekender]

[Prince Monolulu]

Is it a Darby and Joan concert?

1am is quite early for a festival. Creamfields doesn't wind-down until 4am (I think), even Reading Festival has silent discos and movie screenings until 3am.



Whilst it's not going to be the likes of The Rolling Stones etc, I reckon they'll be some decent acts there. The last festival started by this company was Parklife Manchester, which in its first year had The Flaming Lips, De La Soul and a host of big names in Dance/Electric music (Nero, Pendulum, Sub Focus, Annie Mac). They also had some HUGE names in "Urban" music this year including Snoop Dogg. I fully expect this festival to be much better than Shakedown.

If I had to take a guess at the headliners for the two days then I'd probably plump for somebody around the size of Royal Blood/Chase and Status/Kendrick Lamar. Obviously depending on what type of music they go for.

I was rather hoping for something like Glenn Tilbrook or Chas & Dave

Week after Glastonwick, though there won't exactly be much of a CLASH.....sadly

How the heck they are going to get 35,000 REVELLERS (slips smoothly into tabloidspeak) to and from Shoreham Airport two days running over that weekend I have not got a scooby. But I will watch with interest from afar.

On the plus side, the line-up is mostly likely going to be utter shyte.

 

[Beach Hut]

Excellent news for SBS, will have look at the line-up then listen from the back garden

 

[Magic City]

Slightly odd to prospectively hold it in early June, which is hardly the height of the Festival season! Maybe they are looking for an older demographic, like Meadowlands in Lewes did before closing, as at that time a lot of youngsters will be in the middle of their exams.

I'm EXCITED. Festivals are brilliant fun & you meet some amazing; although slightly drunk, people. The fact I'll be able to go home to a warm bed and a proper shower between the days of the festival is a coup too.

This is what I'm most looking forward to!

 

[Geestar]

Yessss...party time!

 

[melias shoes]

Yeah the call it the worthing weekender. Shorehamstock is much better. Wonder if I can make money renting my spare room out. Hmmm

Bloody good idea.

 

[melias shoes]

I expect they will have real Z list bands on, it's festival overload so all the good acts are booked .

It's being run by the V festival promoters. You never know you might be surprised.

 

[Eggmundo]

Should be fun! Plus it's in LANCING not Shoreham, or Worthing. Shoreham starts from the river.

And it's Brighton City Airport so you can't use that "It's called Shoreham Airport" argument.

Who'd have thought 10 years ago that Lancing would be home to one of the most advanced sports training facilities in the UK as well as the Premier Summer Festival on the South Coast! :thumbup:

 

[Eggmundo]

I'm sure the diddycoys from Withy Patch are going to love it also!!

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

great news and walking distance for me so i can enjoy the music and still be tucked up in bed with a hot chocolate at a reasonable hour

My guess would be that it'll be linked to Parklife in Manchester, which is being held on the same weekend. Basically the same business model as V (also run by SGM).

No line up for Parklife yet but previous years look pretty good - albeit on the young side for the (non electro) NSC demographic!

It's being held at Heaton Park this year and, via some basic maths, the capacity seems to be about 75,000 for a massive show (Oasis/Stone Roses) which is the exact capacity they apparently want to expand to if this year goes well. I imagine that is the maximum though, as The Courteeners seem to also be playing there with a capacity of 20k and obviously a festival would be less because there would be more 'stuff' about e.g. other stages and festival gizmos.

EDITED TO ADD - I live REALLY near where it's going to be and think it's a brilliant idea, especially as I can sleep in my bed etc. Massive credit to the council for thinking creatively and allowing it

Just heard that this is what's happening. A lot of the acts have already been sorted too.

 

[Established1982]

That's cool - always nice to be right about something! Any names on the acts?

And a brilliant new brewery - Naked Beer. When I grew up there we had glue sniffing and the Merry Monk.

 

[Munkfish]

Bet the people who run that shower of shite shakedown are going to be pissed off.

Hope they do get some good acts and its reasonably priced, does seem to be an odd time to do a festival like this, Glastonbury and Beastival are outside the school holidays and generally have a more mature crowd, thus less pricks causing trouble, however I guess this being a weekend festival shouldnt impact their target audiance.

 

[Questions]

Brilliant, chaos on the top and bottom roads, and piles of crap everywhere after they go.

Yeah but a weekend of drinking, drugs, great music and just having a good time.

You are an old fuddy duddy.
