John L Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Loved the 2017 event but already booked up for Victorious that weekend. There’s a lot (scheduled to be) going on that weekend. I hope they haven’t missed the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padjeq Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Was hoping we'd get something unique outdoors this summer. Who we thinking? Supergrass maybe, given they're everywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlhippy Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 It's going to be a weekend in Moseley Park the weekend before the Moseley Folk festival. Therefore the stages will be there for 2 weekends in a row. Capacity will be approx 5000 [the same as the folk festival] As for bands/artists, I have heard nothing yet.

fuzzy_logic Posted May 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'd imagine it will be one day of dance related artists and one day of mainstream indie if the 2017 edition is anything to go by ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrogooch Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Hmm. Sleaford Mods and Billy Nomates? I'm tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padjeq Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Writing was on the wall with each 'tickets are flying out!' email for a 5000 cap event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 A shame but not a great surprise. The line-up was way weaker than the great event I went to in 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaminglippy Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Think this is shame. Would have definitely gone if we werent already at a festival that weekend. From memory don't think the original one sold that well so you wonder if they'll bother again...see, this is why we don't get the nice things in Birmingham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their emails smelled of desperation. But in the end the lineup and venue just didn’t excite for £50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason west midlands don't do very well for this type of festival. Which is odd, as you would think its the ideal place. The folk festival scene does really well(shrewsbury and mosely), but indie/rock doesn't. Even the likes of wireless only lasted 1 year in Birmingham.

In fairness the Orbital and Leftfield day was both an epic dual booking and pretty full if I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that day had a really strong line up and we had a brilliant time. Loads of people left after J&MC as well so looked even emptier for Editors (shame, they were brilliant) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decemberboy Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Not surprised it's been cancelled. The line up was uninspiring, but I guess they thought it would sell due to people being starved of festivals and live music for so long. Sleaford Mods and Charlatans play a lot of gigs so there just wasn't a unique selling point there or a must see act. 2017 was a great event, Friday and Saturday were both well attended but Sunday was half empty. I remember on the Saturday night before Ocean Colour Scene came on they announced that people with a Saturday ticket could attend Sunday for a tenner. It didn't help. I think the organisers will stick with Moseley Folk and Mostly Jazz from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlhippy Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Shame as it's a great venue. Brum does sometimes have this aspect about some indie/alternative festivals. I would personally prefer 2 days of loud Rock blasting out Moseley Village. 😈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
