Now the lineup at Renaissance is indeed amazing and I'd be happy to go for Zabiela alone..... but as I missed out on the legendary late 80's, early 90's warehouse parties I reckon Tribal Gathering would be a really different experience (plus it's got a breaks room)....... Arrrgggghhhhhh, which one do I go to - 2 amazing line ups on 1 day, gimme some help, pleeeeeeease...... :D

Yike, I know nothing about this music scene at all. I've got a Motorhead tribute band playing at the CRB that night. Don't suppose I can tempt you to that instead? ;)

Eeep! I know nothing about this scene but go to Manchester cheaper travelling costs :)

Oh well looks like someone's made my mind up for me - Tribal has been cancelled - I was swaying towards it as well, gutted :mad:

It's been cancelled?!

:loopy:

Why?

They had planned on 10k people going but could only get a licence for 7k as they couldn't knock out enough fire exits in the warehouse. Basically they wanted to do it at least as big and good as last years or not at all so they cancelled...... gutted :(

the renaissance line up looks absolutely fantastic. im bloody working thou.

devasted !

both spot on

i'd have said Renaissance if both were still on. I was however, 'there' in the late 80's early 90's - did a few tribal gatherings in my day!

'there was a time when rock and roll was easy - then came aciiiiiiid rock!'

What about Magna Mission ? I got my tickets :)
