Camden Rocks 2016

[The Ghost Of Eddie]

Surprised this isn't a topic yet. Got a lot of the line up, not sure if i will go yet, there's a few bands there that might convince me to go, but it's dependent on if they clash with other bands at Slam Dunk.

Also if anyone has gone before, was it good? how easy was it to get between venues?

[jonnyf]

Going. Went last year and it was awesome bands I'm looking forward to but depending on clash are Black Spiders, The Virginmarys, The Amorettes, Carl Barat, The Fallen State, Amaryllis, Sonic Boom Six, The Pearl Harts. I still haven't checked everyone out yet but so far there is enough to justify ticket + travel.

Are all the venues quite close together (like a 5 minute walk or so)? Definitely considering it, will be nice to pack it in between Slam Dunk and Download. Young Guns, Zebrahead, Glen Matlock and Creeper are the biggest draws for me. But i need to check out a lot of the bands. For £35 for a ticket it seems like a bargain.

Yeah the venues are close distance from each other but the smaller ones fill up quick so get there early or you may have to queue up outside until you get in. I missed The Graveltones at the Jazz Cafe because I don't get there early enough, after realising I wouldn't get inside In time I went and saw Richie Ramone instead.

I went in 2014 and had a fantastic time; missed Crazy Arm at The Black Heart because I didn't get there early enough and couldn't get in the room but the overcrowding definitely wasn't as bad as some of the horror stories you hear with metropolitan festivals

Also you can drink reasonably cheaply for a festival by tanking up at the multiple off licenses in Camden which is a definite perk

Just bought my ticket! So whats the deal with wristbands? I'm assuming it's done by wristbands, where do you get them when you arrive?

[rawaudioinput]

The World's End was where the wristband exchange was when I went

Okay thanks, will keep an eye out for newson where it will be!

Went to this last year, great event for the price and discovered so many new bands! Had no real plan and just jumped in and out of the venues until the headliners. Was lucky enough to catch Skindred, Heaven's Basement, Richie Ramone, The Fallen State, Dumbjaw.

Hoping to catch a lot more this year with the likes of The Cribs, Young Guns, Carl Barat, Evil Scarecrow (for the comedy effect). Obviously they'll all clash so will only end up seeing one.

Any recommendations for lower down the line up? My favourite bands include Muse, Biffy Clyro, Arctic Monkeys, Libertines, Wolf Alice, The Rifles, Mumford & Sons, Green Day, Kasabian - anything with those kind of sounds

[The Ghost Of Eddie]

Any idea based on previous years of when we will get set times?

Nice recommendations guys, thanks! I'll check them out

I think the timetables came out a few days before the festival last year (same week as the festival)

[RichardHarrison86]

I cant recomend One Man Boycott enough!! A few of you have mentioned The Fallen State. OMB have played with them a few times!! I believe they are on same stage OMB play at 2pm!! Check them out!! New Album Counting The Seconds have seen some serious reviews! Rocksound have rated the debut album on par with Weezer & were in attendence when OMB played Barfly not too long ago!!

[The Ghost Of Eddie]

Going to keep checking to see when bands announce their stage times then add them when they do!

[The Ghost Of Eddie]

Appears that Fort Hope have pulled out unfortunately, they're no longer on the poster and they don't have the tour date down on their facebook page.

[The Ghost Of Eddie]

Full clashfinder is finally up! Not too bad clashwise for me luckily!

[The Ghost Of Eddie]

Had a fantastic time! Highlight for me have to be Creeper and Zebrahead (who were simply incredible!) Looking forward to next year!
