The Common 2023

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

It's been said ad nauseum but clearly the Common has felt the budget pinch this year. A lot of repeat bookings and a lack of "names" this year. Still gonna be fantastic but it seems like Silver Hayes got all the $$$ this year...so far

In my experience "new" jungle ain't jungle at all.

I love what I've heard by Nia Archives. There's a couple of others on in SH I'm interested in as well.

I know what you mean. Run In The Jungle should be sued for false advertisement

Totem Stage has been binned off 

Just did a rough count.

54 acts on the Common poster this year.

Around 85 listed acts for the four named Common venues in 2022.

Discuss!

Feels like the influence in terms of budget may have shifted to Team Love, responsible for Silver Hayes. I'd be interested to see how Arcadia, Block 9 and San Remo are lined up. Don't get me wrong, there's still some big hitters announced so far but maybe 2023 is the year that we stumble across a lesser known act/artist on their way up to better things. 

Still think it's very light for the techno heads. What is it, are DnB DJs cheaper or something?!

I'll definitely be at that one

[Skip997]

The one I was hoping for is a lesser known name from Bristol, DJ Dazee. I saw her before Andy C a couple of years back. She blew him away.

They are.

As they should be.*

I posted previously id heard about changes to the common  layout ... loss of a venue would certainly be in line with that

It's not atypical for what we've had so far. In fact, SH has thrown up more for the techno heads than usual...to the point that I can easily see myself there until 0300h on the Saturday night.

It was always gonna be Block9 (and I guess maybe Arcadia, a bit...) for the Chosen People.

The imbalance could just be an attempt to draw people away from the SEC to Silver Hayes, which in the interest of congestion and crowd movements, would be a good thing. People have been asking for that for years.

Might as well do it now under the guise of budget cuts, good a time as any.

Looks like it may work in my case. I could do with mixing things up a bit anyway.

Acknowledging the slight preponderance of 'negativity' over the last day or so, and so not getting into that...

...I guess my one 'worry' is that loss of venue(s) increases demand at remaining venues. I think the push to increase the attraction of the LSTD-curated SH will, hopefully, have a bog effect. But, losing a venue in the Common will not help the clamour to get into the Temple. 

Obviously, the issue on everyone's mind is...what is happening with the Genosys venue/project???!!!

Have people seen the other pages on the common area lineup? 

The temple, rum shack and the Mez Yard (replacing totem from last year I guess) What was the 4th venue in 22?

Mez Yard

 

The Copperdollar Collective return with “The Spirits of Mezcal” for the second year running.

Join them in the Mez Yard for a night of Mayhem.

Drink the sacred fire water and gaze through the spiralling aftermath to witness, a multi-sensory mash up of eclectic party tunes, kaleidoscopic visuals and striking dance played out by the mischievous spirits of the Mezca

If they resurrect Genosys, all is forgiven. I don't hold out much hope though, sadly. The replacement bus is probably now an Ice Cream Van. 

That said, I did see that "Mr Whompy" was up for sale...

You'd hope if the steel frame is intact it won't take much to bring it back to life, but it doesn't look like it's stored in a way to keep it preserved!

Fred Again/Skrillex much more likely than Fatboy Slim/Annie MAC

I imagine Annie MAC would be somewhere on the Glade and Fatboy Slim somewhere in Shangri-La

Just my opinion, don't know 🤷🏼‍♀️

Although a Fred Again/Skrillex b2b would be massive so would definitely be best to keep it somewhat secret

FBS has said he’s playing The Temple.

She's doing a free show next weekend, 10 mins walk from me. Might pop along to it...
