I never went in but it was always pretty banging whenever I went past last year Edited February 4, 2020 by Sweet_pea Hell is now Truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madyaker Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 I was there last year can’t remember what for. It’s cool, 360 degree screen up high for visuals. Not massive like the temple though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred quimby Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Saw Max Cooper there who was very good. Really wanted to see The Light Surgeons - AV set who are always good but was sadly elsewhere having fun Passed by every now and then and the visuals were normally very good Edit - Just noticed the The Light Surgeons did a set in 2017 as well, so if the Gas Tower is there again then hoping to catch them, although they are at headliner time and will be watching Taylor Edited February 4, 2020 by fred quimby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuwarr Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 We spent a lot of time in there. Great fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Turned up for Bicep with them due on in ten minutes. Never seen a place get so busy so quickly - it's like everyone turned up on the hour. Lasted ten minutes until scarpering elsewhere!!

Zacko Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Got into Shangs earlyish on the Friday night in 2017 and saw Sly-One and some others there, really cool venue! DJ Yoda did his Stranger Things AV set, which was brilliant. I didn't watch the TV show at the time, but went out to the bar and came back and he played The Smiths followed by The Cure and then The Clash - such a great ten minutes or so. Ended up there again about 5 hours later for Eats Everything doing a rave set at 6 or 7am. Zombies everywhere (including me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditching the Radiohead snooze fest for the Gas Tower was definitely the right call 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasperella Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Spent a lot of time there in 2017 and had a great time - lovely visuals, great vibe. This year less so, just because the stuff I would have gone to always clashed and whenever I was going past there never seemed to be right tunes on. Hoping for a lot more time there in 2020!

FuzzyDunlop Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Never even made it into the Shangri la last year... never been in the tower at all. Another for the "to do" list....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 It's good in there. Need to spend more time in it. I think I missed it out last year, possibly because of queues. Do you remember @fatyeti24? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that why I didn't make it? 🤣 It must have been there last year but I didn't go to it either as too much to do Last year saw the Gas Tower dance arena be built from plastic litter collected from beaches, parks and streets across the South-West – thanks to a ground-breaking collaboration between Keep Britain Tidy, Orca Sound Project and Glastonbury’s Shangri-La.

Airlie Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 If I remember correctly, every time I went in it was just drum and bass. This is an issue I run into a lot in Sharngrila! More dance, less drum and bass please! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a sweet spot at the Gas Tower where you can avoid the constant stream of people coming and going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obiginnaw Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) I ended up catching that Wonka-vision takeover (or something similarly named) in there on the Sunday last year, I was on my last legs by this point but it was your decent tech-housey, club kinda thing, I had a decent enough time, will go back there for the right DJ/Act that’s of a similar vibe Edited February 5, 2020 by Obiginnaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
