Caravan is a band that has passed me by completely. I will likely go in order to see Magenta so this could be my introduction to Caravan as wellBig smile

A little flurry of news about the Summers End Festival , which takes place on 7th, 8th and 9th October at Lydney Town Hall, Gloucestershire

 

Unfortunately, due to a serious illness to a member of bassist Ken Jaquess’ immediate family, K2  have had to withdraw from this year’s festival.  We wish Ken and his family well and have agreed that they will play in 2012.  Their replacements are the remarkable Day Six from Holland.  Having stolen the show at the Fused Festival in Lydney in April this year, we knew that we would have to bring them back for Summers End at some point, and K2’s unfortunate withdrawal, for a year at least, has give us that opportunity.  You will not be disappointed.

http://www.myspace.com/daysixweb

 

To complete or line up we are delighted to welcome Declan Burke and band to open the Friday night of the festival.  Dec is no stranger to the festival having already played with Darwin’s Radio and Frost, so the opening slot is in safe hands!

www.decburke.com

 

Coming very soon – confirmed news of the Sponsors ticket goodies, and the standard T-shirt pre-order.  For those of you wondering where your tickets are, they will be sent out at the end of August.

Although sad news re K2, I totally agree family must come first and they agreeing to come in 2012 is good news.
I am however concerned that not enough time will be available for all the artiists on Friday evening! Why 3 acts? the other nights only have 2 which gives the acts concerned enough time to do full shows. I'm just concerned.
I'm sorry to gripe about this as the festival is so good. I am looking forward to the festival enormously and wish both Huw and Lambsie all the best for what promises to be another excellent festival

Running a festival is never easy, and we are sorry to announce a couple of pieces of bad news with just 10 days to go!

 

Firstly, it is with huge regret that we announce that Amplifier will not now be playing the festival.  This is as a result of irresolvable technical issues between the Festival and the band.  We apologise to all those looking forward to seeing them, and wish the band every success for the future.  Holders of Friday evening tickets only have been contacted separately. 

 

Secondly, Sunchild will not now be able to play due to the refusal of visas for some of the band.  We know that the guys are as gutted as we are that they cannot play, so we are happy to announce that they will be joining us in 2012, visa’s permitting!

 

In the meantime, we are very pleased to announce that Antony Kalugin of Sunchild, who is still able to make the Festival, will play a special acoustic set on Friday night with something of a legendary guest, the amazing John Sloman of Lonestar and Uriah Heep fame.  This unique collaboration will hopefully help compensate fans for the loss of both bands.

 

In their Sunday slot we are thrilled to announce that Credo have agreed to play the Festival at short notice.  The band have received some superb reviews for their third album “Against Reason” and have combined that with some amazing live shows in 2011. We welcome them back after their wonderful set way back in 2006!

 

www.credo.gb.com

 

Here’s the confirmed line up:

 

 Friday 7th October

Lazuli (France)

Antony Kalugin and John Sloman (Ukraine and UK)

Declan Burke (UK)

 

Saturday 8th October

Evening:

Arena (UK) – Saturday Headliner

The Tangent (UK ) – Saturday Special guest

Afternoon:

Day Six (Holland)

Casual Silence (Holland)
Invertigo (Germany)

 

Sunday 9th October

Evening:

Caravan (UK) – Sunday Headliner

Magenta (UK) – Sunday Special Guest
Afternoon:
Headspace (UK)

Credo (UK)

Unto Us (UK)

 

Sponsor’s tickets remain available for a few more days at £85, which get the purchaser a special T-shirt and Stephen’s book “Citizens of Hope and Glory”.  Standard 3 day tickets are also available priced £65.  Don’t also forget the Festival Ferry at £14 for the weekend.

Buy tickets at www.summersend.co.uk 

 

 

Day tickets and part-festival tickets will are now on sale with the following prices:

Friday: £18

Saturday or Sunday Day tickets: £29

What is this band Break that is playing several times?

Ermm

On a serious note, and I've never been to a festival like this, but where is there such a long break between the final two bands, when there was a break just before?  Just wondering!

Set up and sound check time. This festival does its best to give each band top notch sound, particularly the evening acts, plus since delays at some point during the day are expected those breaks can easily be cut down preventing the festival running over the curfew.
 
Oh, and Unto Us have pulled out as singer Huw as contracted a chest infection and cant sing, so Concrete Lake, band of Tangent guitarist Luke Machin, are taking over the Sunday opening slot.
