Artist News Festival Line-Up Update Gigs & Festivals
Festival line-up update: Download, Global Gathering, T In The Park and more
By Aly Barchi | Published on Monday 10 June 2013
I start today’s festival fact sheet with news of ‘bad times’ at Newquay’s Squarepusher-headlined Bangface rave, as has been cancelled after locals complained over the levels of noise the festival has generated in past years. With the Playground Festival in London also disappearing off the live listings last week, it’s not been a great few days for festivals headlined by that Tom Jenkinson.
Bangface bosses say, with “great sadness and frustration”, that “significantly lower sound levels” set in reaction to said complaints have proved “unworkable, greatly affecting both volume and critical bass frequencies”, and that they “simply cannot deliver an event under these restrictions”.
So that’s that, RIP Bangface 2013. Info on the above, and details on the ways in which disappointed face-bangers-to-be can get their cash back, via www.bangface.com.
And now, since life goes on, so shall we. On, that is, to additions, updates and revisions (of the acquisitive kind) to line-ups at Download, Jersey Live, Global Gathering, Monegros, Pukkelpop, T In The Park, WOMAD and Skrillex and Diplo’s Pharell-featuring party cruise, Holy Ship.
