Gingo Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 On an upside i'm looking forward to hearing what this Glasgow cultural celebration is, whether it will just be summer sessions in a different form or something completely different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul ™ Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I heard they were doing it each side of the games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothenburg83 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Just got to hope Aberdeen are playing Inverness or Ross county that weekend up there. Otherwise I'll cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefski Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 If they manage to get it around the same time as Electric Picnic/Bestival it could end up being a very good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilman Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 August clashes with Belladrum. Possibly a different audience but I can't see it being a good thing. Sep clashes with Loopallu. Put it up against T in July Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossm18 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Imagine how cold it would be in September especially at night! Last year it was roasting all weekend but it still got really cold at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingo Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 They would be very foolish to put it on same weekend as T, they would ultimately end up losers on ticket sales unless they had an amazing lineup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandycoke Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Organisers don’t want to go up against the Games? Will most festival goer's really give that much of a toss about the games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilman Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 It's more a case of infrastructure. There's only so many policemen, portaloos and transport capacity etc. They probably wouldn't get a licence from Police Scotland to go against the games.

Paul ™ Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 They won't be worried about the games themselves, more likely DF's plans to put gigs on either side of them. As mentioned, same weekend as either EP or Bestival makes more sense, especially Bestival as they have close ties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 As mentioned, same weekend as either EP or Bestival makes more sense, especially Bestival as they have close ties.so close in fact that Jim runs the production, doesn't he? (I'm pretty sure that he used to if he doesn't now).I'd have thought they'd be too much to do for him to try and split himself in two, but perhaps I'm wrong about that.

Paul ™ Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Both are produced by Loudsound, so yeah technically Jim would need to split himself in 2. However I don't know the set up of their company, pretty sure they have probably got people who could do one of the sites. Also not sure of how much time Jims other role takes up with AEG, but must keep him a busy chap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambyman Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I just think it will be to cold up there in September and the weather could be horrendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul ™ Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Quick google of the average temperatures and rainfalls for Inverness in September show not a huge difference at all between then and June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtourette Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Should be OK, I think it only switches from 'cold and wet' to 'fucking cold and wet' in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilman Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 "Average" is very misleading. Trust me when I say that September can be far more brutal. I have to put up with it every year. May and June are by far the best months up here. (usually). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernsoul45 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-25926323 looks like laying the ground work for breaking the bad news that its off to me talk of september? dont fancy that much. would be freezing at night most likely. .

viberunner Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Ignore the weather fretting. The real problem of moving Rockness to later in the year is the midge. So far my experiences of Dores have been midge-free as it's too early in the season for them. Later on though... believe me... you'll have prefered to have waited 8 weeks to party in the snow!
