Loopallu 2008

[somerled]

Yes there is a problem with the MyFestivals Groups software

/index.php?showtopic=109476">Info

On a brighter note, my tickets arrived today

*no idea why but on the camping one, the price of £12 has been scored out by pen and £15 hand written on.. pretty un-professional looking

I think this is what is known as the 'Paul Tax'

bryanb, any idea when the line up will be completed?

Just less than 4 weeks to go, I know Franz were announced late last year but looking forward to the completed line up

Also when does the Fringe stuff get added to the website, always nice to plan what pubs you want to attend after the Big Top finishes

[Paul ™]

Been searching through myspace, can only find one more act

Yes you can £40 for campervan/caravan pass

Approx Friday from 4pm, Saturday from 1pm (only one stage)

Yes around 6 or 7 pubs all open during and after the arena closes (Fringe gigs TBA)

Campsite is at the festival, its the Broomfield Holiday Park which is next to the festival site. So proper campsite facilities ie toilets/showers/hook ups.

Map from last years thread

You thinking about this one then mate?

[Paul ™]

Whats the weather like?

I wish I could tell you what it's gonna be like

Last year it was very windy, but mainly dry.

Past couple years before that were rainy one year and sunny the other (not sure which was which)

Yes if you read my post above it said only one stage.. start times as above and finished around 11ish... just in time for the fringe gigs to start.

I do recommend it, here is my review of last year

Maybe to do with the fringe?

Don't sound too good anyway so no major loss

It looks like it is Travis that are playing Loopallu,going by the ICA magazine anyways.They allude to it a couple of times & in their piece about the band it has their Ironworks date along with one at Loopallu. I'm not going to believe it until it's confirmed though,since in another issue of the magazine they stated that The Divine Comedy would be playing at Bella,which turned out not to be the case.

Also in this issue of ICA it said that Dreadzone would be playing at Loopallu,which would be pretty sweet as I really enjoyed them last year.
