Splendour 2025

[Alvoram]

I don't see as it's been mentioned yet, despite a quick search. 

So just to confirm, 2024 was indeed just a hiatus, and Splendour is back for 2025. https://www.splendourfestival.com/news/splendour-to-return-in-july-2025/

No lineup yet, but tickets are on sale now. https://www.splendourfestival.com/tickets/?_ga=2.126081099.795531582.1727088178-183278695.1726658183

I'll update the thread with a poster when it drops (unless I'm beaten to it, which is most likely.)

£112 for adult weekend I guess is keeping it quite reasonable. I remember picking up 2022 tickets for extremely good value two days before and I went in 23. 2012 my first one.

Only done both days the once, but have done odd days here and there throughout the years.

I've always had family or friends at Confetti, Nephew there at the minute. Although I've not even asked if they're involved again this year, I assume they are.

Weekend and day tickets now on sale. 

[northernangel]

I'm considering at least Saturday. Bloc Party was always in my thoughts due to where their other gigs were doing.

 

Wait for a second drop first though. They could have certainly done much worse.

Admin error, looks like they've uploaded the 2005 poster and not the 2025 one? 😋

Enough there to make a weekend ticket worth it. Probably go to both days, but roll up quite late in the afternoon on Sunday. 

Last time I saw Kaiser Chiefs was in Nottingham, supported by the Fratellis. 🙈🤣 I feel like that was about £50 alone. (Actually, scratch that, they were at KC in 2023 too, value point still stands though.) 

Jake Bugg is a local lad isn't he?

Yeah Jake Bugg is which returning is likely why they've booked him and behind Bloc Party is a solid top top. Add Natasha Bedingfield and Seasick Steve.

 

I'm expecting Clean Bandit and SEB to be second stage headliners. I've already got Kaiser Chiefs and potentially Travis at other places so can see it being just the day. That being said I've also got Bloc Party at one of those place too. It's whether I can be bothered to travel over 3hrs not knowing what accommodation options I can get within price rather than an hours travel and then easy bus ride return.

There's a bus at least every 15 minutes from Ilkeston, but we'll usually jump in an uber to Wollaton Road anyway, cheap enough, and avoids the 45+ minute walk to Ilkeston for the bus. 

Could stick a tent in our beer garden? 🤣

If I could find a way to get to Ilkeston from the station then I wouldn't rule that out for one night.

If you're serious then a lot of the trains from the North to Nottingham stop at Ilkeston since the Ilkeston station reopened a few years ago. If you change in Chesterfield at all, which many trains from Newcastle do (Newcastle - York - Chesterfield - Nottingham) it certainly stops in Ilkeston. Leeds to Nottingham train stops there too. 

It's a genuine offer btw, only thing to keep in mind is that I wouldn't advise pitching it in the daytime. Beer garden gets busy on a Saturday in the summer, and parents these days don't seem to know how (or want) to control their kids in a pub. But pitching when we get back on the Saturday night isn't an issue, done it many times before.

It's a popup anyway. I'm from south by the way so I'd have to come north.

Well... that makes your name very confusing!!!! I thought you were from Newcastle, Gateshead, South Shields, Sunderland or somewhere close to that part of the world! I feel betrayed and deceived. 🙈🤣🤣🤣

Haha, I'm a united fan....for my sins. It randomly popped into my head thinking of a name. I'm 50 minutes south of Nottingham by train

I assume you know what the Angel of the North is though?

Loads of trains from Nottingham to Ilkeston, can't see it costing you much more to just change in Nottingham, so the option's there if you need it. 

Off topic, but does 50 mins south put you anywhere near Bedford? There's a reason I ask that, not relating to this hobby. 🙂
