Arcadia recycle them to build a new stage

great idea!
ai we took 2 car keys, after the shit i've seen first hand over the years it just seemed a bit more sensible. waiting in an emptying field for the very busy rescue services to get round to you when you want to get home is grim

i hope to god this is as good next year. can't wait after seeing all these photos and videos!

 

[ruffneck23]

official HD video here, I literally have goosebumps ...

 

[RaverDrew]

This basically. What I dont understand is why its got so much more praise this year than before? Or perhaps I just knopw more people who went.

Either way I'm very jealous!

The Arcadia stage would be a big factor. Some peoples' expectations are going to be dashed next year (assuming that the big stage only does Glastonbury as usual)

 

[ruffneck23]

but it wasnt just arcadia, the whole thing was just an amazing experience, all the little details and nutters running around, i also think the vibe had something to do with it

and the hidden woods
and the bodyshop
and the wall of death

etc etc etc etc....

 

[RaverDrew]

The weather couldn't have been better either, be surprised if we get that lucky again.

 

[Crispy]

Best festival weather in my memory

were you at bestival by any chance? A facebook friend just updated her profile with a picture of you!

 

[Crispy]

Nope!

 

[The_Reverend_M]

whats that rev? could you post a link? I couldnt find one... im not really cut out for 3 days festivals (anymore) - one day is plenty for me

Here you go

 

[sim667]

I must go.

South of england? That doesnt narrow down any more whether it will be london or bristol way

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Considering their origins I'd guess Bristol myself.

 

[Onket]

What's that place PE are playing in Bristol? Could be there, maybe?

Personally, I'd prefer it to be in London. :selfish:

 

[ska invita]

Here you go

That Sleepin Giants project sounds interesting...will have give that a search in a bit.
Havnt heard of Babylon Circus either...willl look them up too

What does Congo Natty live show mean? Every time I've seen him its exactly the same format - NC plays some CDs, his son mixes some records, his daughter and one or two DJs chat on the mic.

The album is on Spotify - when it's good it's REALLY good

He debuted a proper live performance at the Vagabondz Carnival Warm-up Party @ KOKO the other week. Had a full live band with at least a couple of drummers etc. Nanci n Phoebe on vocals, and doing some less full-on, more acoustic sounding numbers. Was very enjoyable actually.

 

[ringo]

Sounds interesting, and there was a limit to how many times I would want to see the previous show, cheers mate.

 

[stuff_it]

I've heard who next year's big JA headliners are meant to be - Buju Banton and Vybz Kartel!

Crispy masks at no 88

 

[editor]

Delighted to see so many of my pics in there. I hope that guarantees me another press ticket next year!

 

[ddraig]

thought there was a few of yours!

 

[RaverDrew]

Tickets for 2013 (8-11th August) go on sale 1st November

 

[William of Walworth]

Loving that poster for 21 Dec. Bristol area was mentioned earlier up, that seems very credible to me.

Includes that great bonus of avoiding Swansea's well know hellhole-day, 'Black Friday' in Wine Street!

So, there I am doing the long drive to Burning Man.

As we cross the state line into Nevada...

Paging Lak...
