BlueDot 20...?

[Talcroft]

Via fb - looks like some of the BlueDot team are still around. 

However looking to completely redesign it, so I assume it won't be 2025.

From an interview with Massive Attack:

It's not currently listed on the Superstruct website, so I wonder if it might emerge under new ownership?

The Massive Attack interview makes it sound like it's the academics pursuing it. Wonder if Superstruct have dropped their involvement so Jodrell Bank are pursuing other options to pitch it to interested parties.

Could be. Obvs last time it ran, Superstruct  incurred potentially massive losses due to the weather/part cancellation, etc. That site is very boggy - remember if from when it was a Jodrell Bank branded event. The only time I've ever needed a tow out of the car park...

I was very pleased my little 1L hire car made it out alive... A festival's worth of camping weight in the back gave me good traction!

😂 That's obvs where I went wrong. Only had my camera back with me. Next time a couple of sandbags in the boot.

Just wondered if anyone has heard anything about Bluedot making a comeback? I would love to see this make a return, it always seemed to struggle with the weather though.
