colour_organ Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 a new music festival in Aberdeen... ! EARLY BIRDS TIX FINISHED ! ! Second Release Tickets On Sale Now ! ! Final Release due April 15th ! The Big Beach Ball 2012 is the first edition of a new annual event taking place at Aberdeen Beach Ballroom and surrounding area. Snuggled along the Promenade with sandy beaches as far as the eye can see, this one day festival will open it's doors 1pm-midnight, Bank Holiday Sunday 6th May, closing with after parties across town until the early hours. On a picturesque coast of Scotland, once crowned the UK’s sunniest city by the Met Office (yes really), Aberdeen opens the summer season at one of our most iconic, historic and underused locations. With a total capacity of around 2,000 music fans, The Big Beach Ball utilizes the Ballroom like never before. International artists, world renowned DJs, the cream of Scottish bands and party starters, vintage clothing markets, craft stalls, food and drink on site supplied by local restaurateurs and chefs, boutique cocktails and numerous bars across the arena are just the beginning… This is unquestionably the first of its kind for the North East, giving the region an event it has craved for years, helping to revitalize Aberdeen Sea Front with cutting edge production and worldwide attention. !!!
