axel75 Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Line-up announcement at 11am (promising big surprise). Already got an early bird for this last year, as always something on of interest. Still not totally sold on new venues, but was still fun.Visions Festival 2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Thanks for the news. Wonder what the surprise is. A big name? Young Fathers? Roisin Murphy? Grace Jones, even? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1986 Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Been to a few of these in the past and it's a great day-city fest. It's previously known for catching bands on the way up in my experience but if they're bringing in someone bigger that'll be cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Young Fathers are playing in Manchester that evening and Suffolk the day before. They seemed the most likely to me before but doesn't look realistic looking at their tour. So maybe Murphy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregory Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 It's a shame this has been moved from August, so many other festivals going on that weekend. Only going to cost £28.05 according to DICE, what a bargain whoever is announced.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Who is good from the smaller names? Am a bit out of touch these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoebox Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Never done Visions before, but rarely get the chance to see Spiritualized for under 30 quid these days, so I've booked. Going to need a playlist for most of the bill, as so many are new names to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1986 Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 I have tickets for Green Man where Spiritualized are headlining and those cost me £200 odd. So seeing them for a day that's £30 shows the value of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Yeah echo the comment on the playlist. If anyone is willing to be heroic and put together and share… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Bulb Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Made a playlist of the top 5 from everyone below Katy J Pearson earlier as I wanted to discover some new music: Unlikely to make the actual fest this year but I went a few years back and agree it's great value for money. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lessthanwill1 Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 I’m going but this is currently quite underwhelming music wise (although I agree it’s good value). Not sure why they’ve bothered getting a bigger headliner tbh. Their line ups were more about up and coming acts and left field stuff. Apart from Spz, Just Mustard and Mui Zyu are the only two I’m really excited for. Tapir! and Modern Woman are both good and worth checking out though. Pale Blue Eyes are solid but not too exciting. There is some fairly left field stuff on the line up (Isabella Lovestory, Dos Monos and Quinzequinze) but unfortunately none of it is really to my taste.

It’s hard not to feel they’ve spent all the money on a big name which has weakened the second line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisenoiseandmorenoise Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Yeah not much there to grab the attention. Makes it an easy decision for me. Last year was a strong lineup but call me a grumpy out of towner, I really didn't get on well with the queuing and the talking. Especially in Hackney church which is an awful echo chamber and crowd noise made several of the acts inaudible. Not to put people off, it is great value and still a fun day out + good community spirit across the venues (and decent pubs in the area).

Just to say that i always enjoy this festival, and although the Hackney church has pretty awful sound, the other venues (especially the Round Chapel) were great. The smaller venues also seemed to attract the people who were interested in the music, not just the chatters/drinkers 🙂 Edited April 6, 2023 by axel75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromoz Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) Got £25 tickets for this. I see it as....I paid close to £20 just to see Just Mustard last year. They blew me away. So....an extra few quid to see them again AND Spiritualized (who i havent seen since 98. And now, what with being at Green Man too, will most likely see them twice in a month) is a no brainer. And Scapling! Looking forward to dicovering my 'new favourite band' from the rest of the line up too. EXCITING!!!

1986 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Just got tickets as well, will be a day of discoveries for me. Anyone got any recs then let them be known though I'm sure I'll try and listen to everyone before the day comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! 🙂 Then I'd obviously see Just Mustard who a) released one of my favourite albums last year b) were frankly stupidly great when I saw them on tour last year and c) I rate more that Spiritualized. As well as me more likely going to see Spiritualized at Green Man anyways. Whatever happens, Im going mainly for Just Mustard. Everything else is a happy addition. x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot disagree that £25 is amazing value and it’s a good day out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 Still another 9 names to come if they are going to match last year. Could do with a biggish name or two as the mid-card is pretty weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
