Libera Dreams

Wow.

Not sure how many here will be able to attend this one!

Edit by FDL : crediting the original tweet that made the info known to all.

Not me.

I already looked it up, it is:

A. In the middle of nowhere.
B. Stupidly expensive, even a day ticket is £90 and I couldn't work out if these were even available for Friday.
c. The set is only 45 mins.

But presumably, being a festival, whichever crazy Libera fan does attend (you know who you are!) will be able to freely record the whole thing...

Wow good find! Anyone going to attend?

I have neither the ability nor the funds to go, but I'm curious all the same where you found the information about 45 minutes. That website is not user friendly at all and I'm not seeing what you're seeing.

I think there are no day tickets at all, apart from for Sunday. So you would have to buy a ticket for the whole event. Its several hundred pounds.

Its a “family centric” style festival, I believe.

Hopefully they will be well received, its a decent audience for them.

Are you planning on going?

Well, one positive outcome I see from this appearance is exposure to more people who may not even know that Libera exists. They may have attended to see other groups, but might hang around out of curiosity to see what Libera is like. I do wonder how well their musical presentation will work in an outdoor setting, but hopefully it will work out.

Got it thanks! So strange for them to only put such things only on an app...but what can we do.

Absolutely! They did this before at World Youth Day. Even just name recognition is good for Libera. Everyone knows choirs like the Vienna Boy Choir (the quality of their singing and albums can be discussed in other threads at LDF ) and so they can fill large concert halls easily just by name recognition alone.

If events like this help Libera to gain any of that sort of notoriety it can only be a net positive!

I don't think this festival will be as famous as W-O-A "Wacken open Air"

I see that their time of performance is Friday early afternoon. I hope there's a decent crowd, but it probably won't be as big as Friday evening or Saturday/Sunday. I hope there will be a good number of families with kids at that time.

Nice find...Looks interesting. I've not known a recent event 'Libera' has performed in that at least one fan hasn't managed to attend and report back, but this might test even the most determined. Quite impractical in many ways esp. if a sole traveller but we'll keep our fingers crossed something feeds it way back.

So... anybody going?

Who would be a big enough Libera fan to pay £200+ for a 45 minute session just a few days after two full concerts (plus associated accommodation costs of course)?

Answer that question and you have your answer.

Yep was it ever in doubt? his tweets confirming he's very much in the area of interest.

There are some who cross an ocean just for one concert.
Crossing two shire is not so big deal
