June 26th - Balmedie: Vision

On the outskirts of Aberdeen, Chris Griffin and company attempt to leave all their recent problems behind them as Vision host the UK's first beach party at Foveran Mains near Balmedie beach, Scotland.

 

Vision's first event north of the border turns out to be a successful one for the organisers, but once again the Popham ticket scam follows Vision around and this event becomes another victim of ticket oversubscription.

July 2nd & 17th - Midlands: A.W.O.L Tour

The Bliss organisation are about to share the spirit of A.W.O.L when they go on their two-date tour of the Midlands biggest clubs.

 

From their launch party onwards, there has been massive interest about the A.W.O.L in north London. Ravers from the Midlands and all over the United Kingdom would normally make the pilgrimage and go to the Paradise to see what the fuss is all about.

 

Bliss sends for the whole A.W.O.L crew - transports them, plus a little bit of the paradise club vibe to hold the first leg of the tour at Pandemonium at The Institute in Birmingham. A couple of weeks later, A.W.O.L will be back in the Midlands to host a night at Quest at Palomas in Wolverhampton.

 

 

 

July 7th & 8th - Corby: The Mother

After pulling off Castlemorton, the organisers of the free festival of the year is attempting to host a much bigger gathering, "The Mother" near the outskirts of Corby, Northamptonshire.

 

Slightly ahead of their schedule, someone within the organisers team lets the secret slip out by fly-posting near the festival site. The unfortunate posters also had the phone numbers to the organisers infomation hotlines. Trendy London listings magazine, "City Life" and the clubbers bible, "Mixmag" went even futher and gave out directions to the event as well, which made the police's job even more easier.

 

Friday - The organisers manage to get their travelling soundsystems onto the planned site and start to prepare for the free festival.

 

Saturday - A major policing operation sees Northamptonshire Police sealing off the immediate area around the festival site, the information hotlines go dead - Game over...
