With tickets for the festival very close to being sold out, we're very much in the mood to party.

So...

tomorrow (Thursday 16th) at the Orange Rooms in Southampton from 7.30pm, we're having one. It kind of celebrates the beginning of summer too, even if it does rain tomorrow - boo!

But hooray...it's...

The United Sounds of Blissfields

For the small sum of £5, the fantastic line up is these tremendous artists:

Delays (DJ set)

Subsource (Live)

Cherbourg (Live)

Beans on Toast (Live)

Hijera (DJ Set)

Marcus Muktarsingh (DJ)

Little Chief (DJ)

Ally Wolf (DJ)

Arrive early and enjoy the evening of entertainment. It will be a BONKERS night out, or a very good Thursday before the weekend arrives :unsure:

Flip me, we're just around the corner from Blissfields time!

For all of those lucky sausages who were at Glasto this past weekend, hope it was way out groovy. If you're coming on to the United States of Blissfields, we can't wait to see you.

We can't wait to see all those coming along this weekend (hopefully Thursday). The site is looking beautiful and getting busier by the day - the village is taking shape.

If this weather carries on, I may cry with joy, and if not, well, whatcha gonna do!

Much love

Little Chief

Well how fantastic was that? :blink:

Loads of highlights; Cherbourg, Laura Marling, Birdpen, Super Furry Animals, Rebel Control...

But I think I have to make Mumford and Sons my favourite bit, just superb.

Thanks to the organisers, hope the council weren't too tosspotty!

Aye, we had a grand old time.

Lovely weather, lovely music, lovely people.

My blog of the event (which doesn't cover all the bands I saw, just the highlights) can be found by clicking just HERE

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
