Wow this looks awesome... thanks for the heads up.

Squarepusher :D :D and Orbital at the same event, not to mention the other acts, if Plaid were on the bill too I might have just got out of my office chair and done a little dance.

I hope I can afford the tickets before it sells out.

What if BoC were the "very, very special guest" that's yet to be announced? :shock:

Be sure to go and party with Ricardo Villalobos - always such a good DJ to see

Holy shit, this line-up is so sick. Why don't we have a festival like this in the Netherlands.

Im Just wondering, whats the difference between buying the express tickets and the normal ones?? Will I have to wait longer to purchase a JD and coke? if i am a normal ticket holder am i subject to spending all my time in queues? What does the extra £26 buy you? A personal helper monkey maybe? I want to buy tickets for this but why the hell cant we all be treated the same? maybe if i pay an extra £50 i get to be escorted to the toilets

Yeah, I agree it's kinda lame that they have two different tickets and that it increases segregation. I don't think it's a big differece, just that people with expresstickets has precedence in some lines.
But you don't have to ponder about it because the expresstickets are sold out...:/


Did you see that they added Amon Tobin in the lineup today! SICK!

Ps. Portiss, there are airplanes :wink:

Can't wait for this, such a good line-up and a really interesting venue. Anybody reccommend any good artists on the line-up that might not be to well known?

Lakker from Ireland are set to play too and they're definitely worth checking out.

Looking forward to appleblim, apparat, shakkleton, luke vibert and ceephax too. Gonna be a good weekend, pity about there being no camping though. Have to find somewhere to stay in London yet for it. Looking forward to it, the Stubnitz looks unreal, but I heard the max capacity for it is around 700 people, not alot when you consider how many will be attending Bloc.

I ve recently, unexpectedly found my self in a situation where I have to move house, this is really good for me but it means I cant go to Bloc 2012. :cry:

I'm super gutted about this. I will sell my internal organs to go, anyone need a kidney? Maybe I should sell one of my BoC Kaleidoscopes... hmmm.

Anyway, hope you all who are going have a great weekend, please post back and tell us how it was :-)

I'm sorry for you vballs, but hopefully the next Bloc will be just as great, maybe even better ;).
