Paul ™ Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 That's the Spider that they have used at Glasto, Bestival and Boomtown, that won't be up at Rockness. I've not even seen it mentioned that Arcadia are involved at Rockness this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muffins Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Not gonna lie, going on that video the armadillo looks like a bit of a step down from the afterburner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenzle Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 The one in that video at Boomtown is the 'Arcadia Bug' not the Armadillo (thankfully!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul ™ Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 http://www.arcadiaspectacular.com/installations/the-bug-mobile-stage Says click for PDF for the Armadillo, but calls it the Bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penny0 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Better not be that wee thing instead of the afterburner, that thing is puny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenzle Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Really hope its not that little thing, major step down from the Afterburner. Didn't they say it was the "Arcadia UFO" coming last year and I'm pretty sure it was just the Afterburner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penny0 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yeah im sure they said the UFO as well, turned out it was just the afterburner. Wasnt really complaining to be fair since the afterburner is class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penny0 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) "Aside from the fully fledged Arcadia appearances at BoomTown and Bestival, keep an eye out for some of the recognisable structures and vehicles at other events, such as the new The UFO at Rockness" From their website abut the ufo last year. Sure it was the afterburner though Edited May 21, 2013 by penny0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissLT Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Has anyone had any experience of this Arcadia Bug/Armadillo stage? Judging by the videos from Boomtown 2011, it looks nowhere near on par with the Afterburner. Going on the PDF specifications for the Afterburner and the Armadillo, even with the Funktion one 6 stack sound system, it's less than half the capacity. Feeling slightly disappointed with this announcement as the Afterburner is one of my favourite things about Rockness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomohoq Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Makes little sense to me. It claims its an 'arena' on the lineup poster released today. That, is a truck. An arena that is not. Also, when was the last time you saw an Armadillo with wings?....

MissLT Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 They might actually have the armadillo/bug thing then have the fire breathing lamp posts/trees around the perimeter. Therefore, making it an 'arena' of sorts. Even so, it's still pretty disappointing in comparison to the Afterburner. When something is described as evolved, I'd expect it to be better.
