Zoo Music Girl Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Just logged on for BCUC, loved these at West Holts last year even though it was too hot to really dance along! Gutted to not be going, was just building up to buying tickets potentially when everything kicked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orbital were great in particular. I wonder if it will be staying up for a while, as didn't get round to watching the Roni Size set...

Gilgamesh69 Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 So has there been any indication for when we might get a lineup announcement for this? We've already got some July festivals, as well as ones even later. So hoping it'll be soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgamesh69 Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 They're releasing a six episode podcast, starting this Friday. Wonder if they'll have any news about the festival? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retromoz Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 I think this is where most medium sized festivals are at. It all depends on when the govt decide when we are allowed to play, how the vaccine rollout is affecting the infection rates etc etc. I would guess its 50/50, innit.

croiz Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 With max daily attendance of 20k, I reckon those odds are a bit harsh. I'd go 50/50! Optimism perhaps.... already got tickets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgamesh69 Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 They've got a survey, one of the questions is: " 5. Evidence shows the later bluedot takes place, the more chance we have of vaccines being widely distributed and enabling us to put on the festival. If bluedot were to take place later in the summer which weekends would you be able to attend?" Perhaps looking at moving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdash79 Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 We have a list of events on our wall we are attending. at the start of the year I put everything before bluedot at unlikely to happen, and everything after likely to happen. Bluedot was 50/50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its very family friendly, if you have kids interested in science/space stuff its absolutely brilliant. Also good if you like a bit of electronica as well I think, just check some of the line ups! Not really a 'get lashed every night' sort of festival, but it is a wonderful festival, a very chilled vibe, my kids loved going, we went to the first 2 but couldn't go to the next 2 due to in being during term-time. We had tickets for 2020 as it was back during the holidays, but..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastynh Posted March 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Well I have relented and bought a ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memory Man Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Cant see this going ahead on its original dates, if it happens it will surely be going back to august at least cant think off hand of anything major that is announced for this weekend or earlier its just too risky. Which i assume is what the delay is. As organisers do kendal as well they’ll be having to juggle with that too Edited March 23, 2021 by Memory Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdash79 Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 I don’t think this is happening, it’s too international. I think they will struggle to get acts or speakers. I wouldn’t be overly please if the keynote speakers were on zoom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannybruck Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Bjork's Icelandic orchestral shows moved back to August/September, which isn't looking good for this staying early summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like maybe this year they could have mostly Uk acts, and as for speakers that may not be a problem; USA is actually doing fairly well with vaccinations so some could still possibly come over. 48 minutes ago, jannybruck said: Bjork's Icelandic orchestral shows moved back to August/September, which isn't looking good for this staying early summer. Except that's more of a side thing for charity and not really a good indicator of her plans for Blue Dot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
