axel75 Posted May 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Visions has always really being about new and unknown bands, apart from Spiritualized the rest of the bill pretty much fits that description. Just wanted to highlight what amazing value for money the early bird tickets for this, Wide Awake and the new Rally festivals are. Always worth a punt despite who plays.

retromoz Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 OK. So.....after looking forward to this, turns out I can't go. Gutting. So....I have a ticket available. I bought it on Dice. I paid £25 for an early bird ticket. You can have it for £20. Dm me if interested. £20 for Just Mustard and Spiritualized AND Scalping? And more?!? Blimey. What a deal. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 Final names in. The worst lineup in their history. Clear that they’ve spent almost all their budget on Spiritualised at the expense of lots of great second line names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern Woman, Tapir, Mui Zyu and Just Mustard the only decent undercard names imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisenoiseandmorenoise Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 Hard to deny the value for money but yeah not sure how they ended up with this line up. Last year was perfectly balanced from top to bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Bulb Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Surely by it's very nature it always looks better in retrospect, as a lot of the bands playing it having made it big yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lessthanwill1 Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 It feels to me that they have a new booking team or at least a totally different booking strategy. Spiritualised are a notably bigger band than any of their past headliners. The gulf between headliner and undercard is much more distinct this year. In previous years, the headliner has been pretty comparable to the much of the top line. Somewhat subjective I know…but it feels like the budget went on the headliner to the detriment of the undercard when historically it seems that they wouldn’t have had to spend way more on the headliner and in comparison to the other big names. Also, the genre of music seems to have shifted as well. Quite a lot of pop/R&B on the line up this year (although that was also the case last year to some extent I guess) and definitely less of the cool stuff they used to book (Jenny Hval, Moor Mother, SOPHIE, Jockstrap, Kero Kero Bonito, Lightning Bolt, Show Me The Body, Keely Forsyth, Aya, Hinako Omori, Iglooghost, Gazelle Twin etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahidf Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Ill see the stage splits to judge. The price is cheaper than Spiritualized charge to play themselves anyway, so anything past that is fine for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously. But many of those acts were breaking through at the time. And I can spot 10 at least who are established now. This year’s lineup doesnt begin to compare. I’ve tried to get excited about the bands but only 1 or 2 at most will breakthrough. The quality isn’t there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1986 Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Hi all, found out we can’t go now and have 2 tix to sell. Happy to let them go for £50. Let me know if interested x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axel75 Posted July 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Visions has always been about new acts, after having a good listen to the lineup, i can recommend the following (so long as you are not just wanting to listen to same old guitar stuff): Scalping Pale Blue Eyes Dos Monos Floodlights Hex Girlfriend Miniki Halina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collectivisedfarming Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 I last went to visions in 2014 and am going this year. I know this could be an impossible question to answer but based on more recent years what are numbers of ticket holders like in terms of capacities? Will I have to be in an act before the one I want to see, particularly later in the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others will fill up if a big band, so id get it early ( esp Paper Dress) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noisenoiseandmorenoise Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 We gave up on Paper Dress last year. It seemed like they had space for 20 people. Queues every time we passed. Oslo's was packed and sweat running off the ceilings level of hot especially for Deathcrash. Though they didn't have people controlling the capacity so you could always get in. The other venues seemed fine. It appeared lots choose to hang around the main church all day (which would explain the high number of disinterested talkers). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Annoyingly they seem to have moved Picture Parlour so they now clash with Scalping, And have given up on Goat Girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lessthanwill1 Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Think I’ll do: Porchlight > Dog Race > Just Mustard > Eden Samara > Dos Monos > Mamarlarky > Spirtualized. The splits weren't kind to me as wanted to see Mui Zyu and Modern Woman but they clash with Just Mustard and Spz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
