sunrise Sunrise Celebration 2016 - is it going ahead?

[plasticbadger]

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked before (found nothing searching tho).

Any news re Sunrise Celebration 2016?

I asked them to carry over my tickets from the cancelled 2015, so just wondering if its going to happen this year, hope so!

Cheers!

With the silence on their website and face tube page I'd say that was a given

shame, real shame

A given that it's not happening I guess?! Think so, can't find any info apart from 2015's announcement. Bugger!

I heard they haven't totally given up... although it seems pretty late to pull something out of the bag for this year, at this stage!

If you have 2016 tickets it's possible, if there's no Sunrise, that you'll be offered a swap for another festie. So keep your ears pricked

I'm good friends with one of the main infrastructure providers. He said that it is over for Sunrise. If it was on he would already be contracted to do his thing.

and Sunrise rises again. Looks like they are going back to the 2014 site.

doesn't say who's behind trying to revive it, and from what Scottie has said to me recently from where I think he met one or more people who used to be involved, it doesn't appear to be those who started it.

PS: and presumably they're hoping to shake off people such as the OP who are owed something and probably won't get it.

a bit of digging tells me that it's being done by someone new, who's background is event security, with an attached past that doesn't inspire much confidence in me.

I don't think it'll be on the same site as 2014; there were a lot of complaints from residents about Sunrise that year, which I think would make it tricky for them to get a licence for that site again. If they have managed to convince the site to take them back, license restrictions on timings and noise will be severe.

I don't know about the person's past, but yes you're right, it is someone new with a background in event security who now owns the Sunrise name.

I think you do, tho i might be mistaken .... but from what i've read - on his linkd-in page - there's a part been played in a bit of a disaster around something close to your own heart.

word I've heard is that it'll use a site around an hour north of Bristol.

Maybe I've been a little harsh.

What i've posted has been influenced by some of what went on with the old sunrise, not all of which I was very impressed about. 

Elf says above that this new person has bought the name, so i guess I shouldn't be transferring those old opinions onto him, as he probably hasn't also wanted to buy any attached bad rep - tho at the same time I doubt he thought he was buying a name with only high regard for it.
