Zoo and occasional festival site... Buy tickets here. Official site.
I been here! See more in my gigography.
Gallows, Glassjaw, Sepultura, Napalm Death and lots more. This is the fest that was on the beach last year, not the one that was at the zoo!
I hope he's goign to jump over some rhinos or something:
I have totally taken my eye off the ball. Full lineup here for the Hevy Festival, it's not one for the faint hearted is it?
Friend just got a press release (I did not) the festival has been postponed until 2010 based on the unacceptable risk of doing a festival in the current economic climate. Established local festivals were expected to have a greater impact than first envisaged. Not sure people have the money to go to too many of these in the same year.
See the official lineup, lots of ageing punks! Can't see this being much of a draw for the young people, but perhaps that's the plan..?
Of course, why didn't I think of them when I was after animal named bands to headline this zoo festival? Apart from them being indie no marks I mean, who an old giffer like me would not have called a headliner.
Think the organisers of Red List Live might struggle to get advanced ticket sales for the festival, following the chaos of the Zoo8 festival on the site last year. Apparently it's not the same company organising the fest, it's just the same location, so headliners pulling out on the day because they'd not been paid etc hopefully won't be repeated.
An anti-press release from Sellindge Music Festival! Probably best to get some bands on board and send out some info about who is playing your festival, rather than just going on about someone else's festival. Good to point this out though, Zoo8 was a disaster IN MY OPINION. And you wouldn't want to get caught out accidentally buying tickets for zoo9 would you? Here's what they have to say:
Here at safeconcerts.com, sounds a bit chaotic, more rumours of cancellations than actual cancellations possibly though.
BIZARRE Music festival, The Cribs, Athlete, Funeral For A Friend and more. We'll go if you can you get me free tickets?
Just saving a space on the site for next year! Was the festival a success? I hope so, and I hope it returns. (UPDATE: it was not a success, no-one hopes it returns).
