Kaleidoscope Festival

[compactdisc]

Has anyone seen any indication that this will be back this year? Was great last year and was hoping to see it again!

[jump]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was an one off, there were cheap tixs floating about last year and when Flaming Lips were on there was a lot of space to be found in the crowd.

That is so surprising (and yet great news!)

Does anyone remember how much tickets were last year? I was away on the date and so did not really pay much attention to the details of last years event. Just trying to work out ruffly what the cost is likely to be.

I think it was about £50?

Thanks, I was hoping that it would be around that or a little bit cheaper. 

Cheers.

Yes it was a really well organised/run festival (other than the food running out). Definitely didn't feel like it was near capacity though.

Looking forward to some kind of line up announcement!

[eFestivals]

Line-up includes Groove Armada, Fun Lovin' Criminals, House Gospel Choir, Joel Culpepper, Norman Jay, Greg Wilson, Matt Jam Lamont, and more, with more to be announced.

I'll take a punt at Jack Penate and Ibibo Sound Machine as acts that'll get announced later.

Tickets on sale 9am Sunday 1st March, initially at £35 (full price £53).

What?

Absolute rubbish this year. Had some really good stuff at the inaugural one, what a shame.

My abiding memory of last year was that one of the bars was constructed at an angle on a slope so if the bar staff left a drink on the bar it would slowly start slipping away from you. Flaming Lips and Katherine Ryan were great though.

Well worth the price to see Groove Armada. I see you baby shacking your....................

My thoughts too... definitely not as appealing as 2018.

[Dales]

Groove Armada, Norman Jay  and Fun Loving Criminals was enough for me and so I have got tickets. Should be an interesting day. Sometimes; music can just be fun, to have a good day. It does not always have to be “worthy”

Kaleidoscope has now been postponed to 2021; Groove Armada already rebooked

[rawaudioinput]

Still got the 2021 event on my upcoming events on Songkick; had a quick check of their socials and they haven't posted a thing since last October

That's a pretty bad omen, isn't it?

The team at Ally Pally have yet to take a decision. The venue is in the ward I represent on the council so as soon as I hear anything I'll try and report back 🙂

Me again - another update for those interested: 

 

[jump]

It's down the road from me so if I see cheep tixs again I may go just for The Coral as there's not much else compared to the other year's line up. Hopefully security won't be so c**tish this time round.

I know they're close to selling out so not sure it'll be possible to get cheap tickets this time. Final release is quite pricey at 60 quid 😶

They said the same thing last time but then just gave away the tickets but to be honest even if they don't it's not a big loss for me as it's not the most exciting of line ups. I actually skipped seeing Groove Amanda about two/three times at festivals the last few years.

[Joshuwarr]

For those of you into this sort of thing, I took a stroll up to Ally Pally during my lunch break to see how the build was going. Fence is up and general build very much underway 🙂

Had a brilliant time here last weekend; bars were busy but I imagine that the pingdemic had summat to do with it

The Coral and Groove Armada were both on top form, proper party

Yeah the bars were a nightmare. Some weren't moving and one went to cash only and by the time I had gone and got cash they were back to card only. I think it was a case of slow pumps as often other festivals they have pints lined up ready but they just didn't manage it here.
