Glad of some news, but down to only 2 days :(

That's gonna take some getting used to, how are you gonna fit in loads of acts and still have time for Bloctv?????

Without sounding too paranoid - it says 6th AND 7th not 6th TO 7th. Please let it be residential, the chalets are half the fun!

Can we have confirmation of that please?!

I expect changing anything at this point is out of the question but seriously 2 days?

We've pretty much got used to 4 nights of action the last two years!

We are all convinced it'll be 2 separate nights in a large gig venue now. Praying to be proved wrong!

The venue has never been used for this purpose before.

Ooh intriguing. :D Can we play twenty questions? Will you promise to answer truthfully?

Is it too early to start asking for acts? Please may we have some ERP?

some say its gonna be in london. Interesting.

Not sure im too happy with that as the seaside sort of made it special, but we shall wait and see where it actually is as i may have been fed porkies.

2 or 3 weeks after glade and the same date as freerotation makes for a difficult decision when the tickets go on sale!

Will it be residential like all previous Blocs? Think as you have released the dates you can say if it is/isnt.

Been mulling this over since reading the news last week and I'm not entirely sure if I'm going to be able to make Bloc next year :cry:

It's the weekend after another festival I always go to and I have to beg work to get time off just for that one... Maybe it's time for a new job..? Really hope I can sort it, will be gutted if I can't go.

sounds like you will only be missing 2 days of london based dancing as opposed to the previous 4 days of seaside carnage that was bloc.
