GlastoSimon Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Will certainly go to this, waiting for line-up though. Hoping Sunday is better than Saturday! Primal Scream a nice announcement though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Lawn Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Could get interested in this, providing the Saturday has some non-old giffers acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromoz Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Once again, Milton Keynes criminally overlooked....;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chawk Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Seems they are concentrating on local acts even more this year (which I can understand) but its not as good as previous years so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash011 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 How much did this cost last year? Primal Scream is a great start and if they get a lineup as great as last year I'd definitely want to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chawk Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Last year was £25 for Friday and £35 for Saturday/Sunday (each)...so pretty cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they get some good stuff on the Saturday, bit of a pain to get back on a Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Yeah it'd be pretty far for me so going all that way for one (still incredible) day of music is too much of a hassle, whereas I could probably do a weekend of it. EDIT: Oh you mean split the venue tickets. Yeah that as well. Does this get better every year though or do I just forget how good the lineup is every time?

5co77ie Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 hoping for Colston Hall / O2 Academy on both Saturday and Sunday Motion on Friday looks like a bun fight whole line-up now here: http://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/16/160119b.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I think if I were gonna go down it'd be Colston Hall/O2 Academy Saturday and Motion Sunday. Best of luck everyone who is trying for tickets though. Would imagine it'll be very tough again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5co77ie Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 was it an instant sell out last year? Hmm don't have much luck with speedy internet here in south Devon. Motion on Sunday is very strong too - but I think the Mrs will want to see Marling & Grant Also it says up to a maximum of four tickets on the T&Cs - so if I'm trying for me and the Mrs does that mean we have to try for the best 2 days?

Mostly. I only tried for Friday and that just went straight out - Saturday was minutes too and Sunday took a couple of hours if I'm remembering correctly. It should be different with Bristol actually as there's nearly 5k tickets for Saturday and Sunday divided between the two venue choice things; most of those at the Colston/Academy one and that's got the less popular acts so I reckon you'd be alright with that. Would assume Friday and Sunday Motion will be straight out, like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Looks very decent, why do they announce it so close to the actual date though? Makes travelling down for it, that bit much harder. Already seeing Foals that week after otherwise I'd be there like a shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Tempted for the Saturday, but I'm a bit confused about how the tickets work. Get the split venue thing but what's the deal with the "day" and "night" tickets? Looks to me like you're paying £40 for just an evenings worth of entertainment? Or am I missing something? Is there a free fringe again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 6music has a festival playlist:-http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/playlists/zzzzww 1 minute ago, Zoo Music Girl said: Is there a free fringe again? I believe so, yep. So Scottie told me (I've not been following things) the BBC Introducing stage will be in St Nicks Market. I also think The Fleece is being used, as I think that's what matey from Blue Aeroplanes said when they interviewed him a month back when they announced it - tho that might be my memory playing tricks.

5co77ie Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 you're right - the free fringe thing is by ballot separately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Cheers guys! Just been to your page about it and answered most of my questions One thing I am finding confusing is that on one page of the 6music site it says the night tickets for Colston Hall start at 7 but on other it says 4pm (and 5pm for the academy). Inclined to believe the latter given the number of acts but can anyone shed any light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm from Bristol and happen to be back that weekend, so we are going to go for the Sat night/Underworld tickets. Hopefully people will be distracted by trying to buy Suede/Motion tickets initially! The free fringe, you have to apply for tickets direct from venues. The advance ones for the Thekla are already gone, so you may need to be quick.

Homer Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Not sure I'm afraid. I tried the Thekla and their model was that their in advance allocation had all gone. They said there were 200 available on the door on the night (not sure I fancy getting in that queue!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 The Thekla say they may release more tickets due to demand. This does seem to be the one to go for as it's free event named 'The 6Music Fringe'. I assumed all the others would be the same - but from the ones I've clicked on (Fleece, Louisiana, Lakota) they just seem to be putting on paid gigs that you can pay to go to (like you normally would).

Mash011 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Pretty incredible lineup but sadly I'm home for the Tame Impala gig that weekend. Shame but I guess I have seen most of the acts there that interest me before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
