plasticbadger Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before (found nothing searching tho). Any news re Sunrise Celebration 2016? I asked them to carry over my tickets from the cancelled 2015, so just wondering if its going to happen this year, hope so! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebeedoobee Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 With the silence on their website and face tube page I'd say that was a given shame, real shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticbadger Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 A given that it's not happening I guess?! Think so, can't find any info apart from 2015's announcement. Bugger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfweirdigan Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I heard they haven't totally given up... although it seems pretty late to pull something out of the bag for this year, at this stage! If you have 2016 tickets it's possible, if there's no Sunrise, that you'll be offered a swap for another festie. So keep your ears pricked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdusty surfer Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I'm good friends with one of the main infrastructure providers. He said that it is over for Sunrise. If it was on he would already be contracted to do his thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebeedoobee Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 and Sunrise rises again. Looks like they are going back to the 2014 site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they are going back to the 2014 site. doesn't say who's behind trying to revive it, and from what Scottie has said to me recently from where I think he met one or more people who used to be involved, it doesn't appear to be those who started it.

eFestivals Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 PS: and presumably they're hoping to shake off people such as the OP who are owed something and probably won't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 a bit of digging tells me that it's being done by someone new, who's background is event security, with an attached past that doesn't inspire much confidence in me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it'll be on the same site as 2014; there were a lot of complaints from residents about Sunrise that year, which I think would make it tricky for them to get a licence for that site again. If they have managed to convince the site to take them back, license restrictions on timings and noise will be severe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the person's past, but yes you're right, it is someone new with a background in event security who now owns the Sunrise name.

What i've posted has been influenced by some of what went on with the old sunrise, not all of which I was very impressed about. Elf says above that this new person has bought the name, so i guess I shouldn't be transferring those old opinions onto him, as he probably hasn't also wanted to buy any attached bad rep - tho at the same time I doubt he thought he was buying a name with only high regard for it.
