BLOC festival

[Dead Rats]

Anybody thinking about this one?

Snoop Doggy Dogg gonna be headlining

[meanmrcustard]

Lineup looks admittedly ridiculous, but I can't help thinking that it's 100 sheets for what is essentially 2 nights out. If it was the same lineup in the Butlins like last year for twice the price I wouldn't hesitate.

[magma]

Have we got a Ninja roll call for this yet?

Was down to go anyway... I'm not really sure how I feel about Snoop turning up. He was a lot of fun in the middle of a sunny afternoon at Glastonbury the other year... but I have a feeling there might be some clashes involved here...

Have my ticket anyway!

Orbital / Snoop Dogg / Richie Hawtin / Flying Lotus /Steve Reich / Gary Numan
Ricardo Villalobos / Squarepusher / Battles / DOOM / A.T.O.L. / Carl Craig – 69 / Nicolas Jaar / James Blake / Jeff Mills /

Yeah, the problem is going to be trying to jam all this shit into effectively two club nights. Can't imagine the music is gonna start in the early afternoon, and even if it did, you've still got to trek there from your house innit.

It's a bit fucking weird. I'm well up for it, but if it was in the normal place it'd Be perfect.

[badger]

they've killed it moving out of butlins imo

doubt i'll bother

Yeah, it is weird... but I was too excited by the idea of a festival being curated by Bloc and styled by the people that do Shangri La at Glastonbury to even think properly about it. The venue is going to be incredible, but the weekend is either going to be completely awesome or the most frustrating festival ever.

I guess as it's just two nights if we've got a crowd going we could assign someone's house as the Ninja-chalet for a few hours on the Friday night/Sat morning... have a bit of a crack on until it's ready to go back?

I think I'm gonna skip this one. Butlins was good because it felt like a get-away holiday from London. Plus you got a community feel of sorts being all within that compound. And, much as I preferred being in the various arenas, you WON'T BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO YOUR CHALET WHENEVER YOU WANT TO. Yes Badger and Rats, I'm looking at you.

Never left the chalet to begin with, so your complaint falls on deaf ears, my lad.

Plus, me and Badger had a fucking stomper in the chalet when you all went out.

[Dead Rats]

A ninja chalet sound like a good one...only problem is trying to find a volunteer.

[the wiggle baron]

most upsetting thing thats happened in a long time.
And Nicolas fucking Jaar is playing?!?!??!!! GGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Indeed... can offer up my place, but it's a bit of a trek from the Docks and we'll need half decent weather so people can smoke outside... need an East End Ninja to come through!

[Dead Rats]

tbh, it's not at all far away from my gaff, but there will be complications surrounding housemates about this.

I don't wanna act like a twat and sort of try and force our way into someone else's place, but what's Frank's plans? I know he's going...

[bela]

lineup's immense but it's essentially a glorified 2 day rave and it's hard for me to shell out that much cash for that out of principle...

hmm

[particle-jim]

Too expensive, I shant be going

[Johnlenham]

Are they doing one day tickets? I might splash the cash if I can do one or the other. If its anything like shangri-la is it will be fucking bonkers also having to mission it to and from for both nights is not appealing.

[AxeD]

Sandwell, Surgeon, Jeff Mills, Actress, Cosmin trg... that line up is sick

[DRTY]

who's on this? I'm tempted...

[magma]

Got my weekend ticket... Luke's coming on Friday. I think ch3 was contemplating a day too...

[yoowan]

Are they doing one day tickets?

yeah they are

ive got a friday ticket, line-up is fucking massive. its not that expensive imo when you consider that the day ticket gets you all the daytime/evening events AND up until 6am saturday morning
