First lineup announcement for anyone that cares... There's a thread in events but it's dead so thought i'd post this here.

Nice line-up. Shame they've moved it to bloody london and eliminated the accomodation (the best thing about it).

Hopefully hitting this up instead of Outlook this year. Depends on if my lass can get the time off.

[Lichee]

you can rebump the dead thread...

Bloc 2012 will hopefully make them realise the error of their ways and move it back to Butlins/somewhere with accommodation. It's such a shame they've made it basically just a glorified warehouse party for Londoners

[jsml]

it is fucked up, london was a shit place to move it as well, especcially so close to the olympics. should've kept it southwest.

gonna be full of bloody londoners now (no offence to anyone from london, i find you're all very nice individually but when you get together... fuck me)

even so, the lineup is already looking incredible.

[olly]

yeah R.I.P Bloc at butlins

[Johnlenham]

Pretty tempted to go, better than spending the same £100 odd on SW4 and they did some crazy shit at Glastonbury. Also the 5 tickets for the price of 4, making it £75 each is even better!

[Lichee]

ye but accommodation in London so close the the Olympics will bump it up loads, plus at Bloc it was so relaxing knowing that there was a fresh bed 5 minutes walk away, having to travel round London up/coming down will be a nightmare

[Johnlenham]

To be honest I didnt know about it last year! its handy for me as I have friends that live there so I guess its a fair point to be pissed off if you dont and have to stay in a £70+ a night hotel!

[Lichee]

ye i would definitely go if i had friends relatively close. I think the other problem will be it opens at 2pm iirc, but that's a long time to hang around, and popping back to the hotel isn't an option. I dunno, I think for £75 and if you have somewhere free to stay it is sick, other than that not so much

[kingbananathe]

Last year was so fucking sick, I really was gutted when I saw it wasn't somewhere with accommodation & bloc tv...

Probs wouldn't be going this year but got a mates yard to stay at so got a ticket, still though, hope it goes back to old bloc next year because london is shit.

[jsml]

.... bloc weekend.... why have you fucked up so badly?

i hope someone that is in there with bloc reads all of these comments and realises the error of their ways.

[Lichee]

if it goes back to old bloc there should definitely be a dsf meet up there

[kingbananathe]

yeah i'll see you boys in jak bloc at 9am sunday for a pint

[jsml]

just realised it's only 2 days instead of 3 as well now.

bloc have fallen offffff.

[bela]

lineup looks dope but honestly cbf spending 100 quid on a 2 day rave...
might be reaching if i can get press.

[Alistairr]

The London hate is from people who aren't from london, obviously. Did you go to a Bloc at Butlins?
