twenty_foot_chickens Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 http://www.evolutionfestival.co.uk/ Looks to be a two day festival, rather than the single day last year. The Sunday (24th) will be curated by Newcastle club night Wax:On with Brodinski and The Count & Sinden self-confirmed for this. The Monday (25th) will be organised as it has in previous years. Line-up announced and tickets on sale 12midday on Thursday 19th, with a limited number of weekend tickets going on sale that day. I presume there will be day tickets for each day too on sale then. No indications of price as yet. Any hopes/predictions/self-confirmations for this? Apart from Brodinski and The Count & Sinden, I notice that eFestivals has Detroit Social Club and Field Music as strong rumours - local lads - very likely. I'm looking forward to finding out the full line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettredmayne Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Shocked it has changed to 2 days, it was £3 last year I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twenty_foot_chickens Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm really impressed with that line-up. Will definitely be catching Boys Noize, Brodinski and Yuksek on the dance night. The Wombats, Mystery Jets, The Maccabees, White Lies, Friendly Fires, Ladyhawke, Little Boots, Esser and Fan Death will abe be worth a watch on the Monday. Any ideas of ticket price?

twenty_foot_chickens Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I found it on there website - Its an okay line up. I have no idea on tickets - no doubt they'll be bulk bought and dumped on ebay for a stupid markup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twenty_foot_chickens Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I believe it was a slip up on the website, you'll be able to see it on Thursday after the launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladescope Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 £15 per ticket is ridiculous compared to the £3 it was last year, and when it used to be free oh those many years ago.. I know it's over 2 days, but seriously, that's turned me away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladescope Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Really? You're not willing to part with £15 for all those bands! I want to see 12 acts over the 2 days - that's just over a £1 a band. I think you're being stingy. Yeah it used to be free, yeah it was £3 last year but there's more music this year and the credit crunch was always going to affect the festival. Have a think about it mate.

twenty_foot_chickens Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Touché, but the line up was better last year in my opinion . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladescope Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Aw. Well, fair enough really. It's just me being grumpy then this year I s'pose . Either way, this is £15 I'm keeping for a rainy day. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M a r k Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 last years set up was a total shambles over at spillers. the bar arrangements were just plain nasty. i saw lasses hitting lads, lads hitting lasses back, and then lads hitting lads. i didn't see anyone searched, and there were hundreds of glass bottles strewn on the (concrete) floor. the streets were canny though.

twenty_foot_chickens Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) to be fair thats not true at all mate - the event has a total no glass policy - the bars do not serve glass and random searches are in place - plus there are stewards patrolling Edited February 19, 2009 by twenty_foot_chickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
