Bloc 2011

[the wiggle baron]

Alrighty, anyone seen the line up for bloc 2011? The first 10 names are up at the website now http://www.blocweekend.com/lineup/

Not a bad start. Obviously a couple of friendly faces on there, and ill be sure enjoying a couple others, but not blown away yet. Mind you, never are by the first names at a festival.

Anyone definitely going? Im about a 99% sure (unless i take up a job at the worlds largest melon farm in australia) but im really hoping they sort the sound levels out a bit. Being aware of people talking was quite an overriding feeling the whole time, and subloaded needs more pressure than it had...

Sick festival though, always going to a wicked weekend. Anyone in?

[crackf]

very annoyed i missed last year, very much on this year depending if i have the money to go

[Motorway to Roswell]

Dopplereffekt , DMZ & LFO.

[dutty_switch]

Definitely going to this again. The last two years that I've been have been epic fun and the lineup has never disappointed. Roll on March!

[nicenice]

Missed out this year, gonna try get tickets for next year though.

[AntlionUK]

never been before, would be up for it. sounds sick.

anyone know what the age limit is? didn't see anything on website.

[kay]

Should be 18 I thought.

Undecided about going yet. Probably will get talked into going.

[AntlionUK]

[apmje]

Might actually do this for my birthday! It's like a month before but this looks well class...should I or shouldn't I!?

[badger]

on it like some kind of thing that likes getting on other things

[belalala]

good experiences at this one? would be my first UK festival (though Outlook was pretty much a brit fest in Croatia) as part of a longer trip to check out some cities for uni next year. lineup looks sick, like the apartment arrangement.
how's the weather/vibes/setup?
