Bit of an odd one this - is the stuff at the bottom of the page (LBHQ 16) from last year?

[VolumetricFox]

Could be mid-update?  I searched this forum for the word "Intoleranch" as a unique word and it didn't come up.

Ah, the first Spring stirrings of Shangri-La. Good spot. "Digitally gated" is pretty specific, but I suspect it'll just be a slight variation on the big white tent in Heaven.

Looks much of the same, last year was better but looking forward to a new theme.

[Chewie]

It looks like exactly the same text as last year other than they've changed the date to 2017 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Nah....last year was all about the media.

Sorry for being miserable but is it just me who doesn't care about Shangri La? It's too busy to see or enjoy anything, everyone there is utterly fucked (by no means a bad thing) and often obnoxious, and I'm not a lover of the sort of music that most places down there pump out.

Feels like a place everyone goes to just to tick it off.

I have had some brilliant times in Shangri-la, and some less brilliant times, I think it all depends on when you are in there to be honest, nothing down there has come close to 2010 in Shangri-La, that for me was the absolute pinnacle.

Sounds like Worthy View.

I agree, too crowded too much sound bleed from all the different stages, I think unless you're completely fucked it will never be that enjoyable. Didn't make it in their once last year as the signs said it was full each time we even went near it so didn't bother, didn't miss it at all. That said this year I'm definitely going to go in early one night and give it another chance.

I think (although I'm beginning to doubt my memory now) that that section was added shortly after last year's festival.

I was under the impression shangri-la was over now and being replaced by something else?

IMO nothing has topped the lanes and micro venues of the circa 2010 incarnation either. "Fish & Tits" featuring live mermaids and dancers dressed as birds of prey was a definite highlight.
