Island Beats

Ride & Rave was made complete with the finale being a Pendulum DJ Set. Back then the line-up was pretty fantastic too for such a small event!

 

  • Pendulum DJ Set
  • Tinchy Stryder
  • Rudimental
  • Skepta
  • The Wideboys
  • Majestic

If they had all those guys then I would actually buy an Annual Pass and go to every event.

Dates that have been put in bold are when big performers (highlighted in red) are playing, and the rest of the acts on those dates are the supporting acts / play during the day at the Tidal Wave stage..  They play at The Crust Stage 6:30-9pm and require a concert ticket.
 
All other dates have acts that are performing at the Tidal Wave stage during the day, and are included with any standard entrance ticket.  They do two performances - one at 1pm, and one at 5pm (with the park open till either 6pm or 7pm).
 
At the moment, I count that as 64 different acts confirmed so far, with potentially up to 18 more still to be announced.  That's pretty impressive!  After having a look, there's certainly a mixture in how well known the smaller acts are - with the acts having anywhere between 100 to over 268,000 followers on Twitter.
 
Hopefully this will be successful for the park, and indeed for the performers.  It seems to have worked for some acts in the past (Anttix played at Thorpe in 2013 for example, and was virtually unheard of at the time.  He's now up to 143k followers on Twitter and seems to be doing alright for himself, as far as small acts go I guess...).  Would also be great for the park if they could continue to attract bigger and bigger names.

So a bit related to summer nights as well... But just remembered that Colossus isn't going to be open when I went to book another ticket for summer nights. So according to the event brite page, only the swarm, saw the ride (which we know that will be closed), stealth, nemesis inferno and X... Is that all!?

Why isn't Colossus going to be open?

Ride line up has been published on the website:

"Soak up the summer vibes and enjoy exclusive after-hours coaster action at THORPE PARK Resort’s Summer Nights.

On Friday and Saturday nights over the summer, enjoy minimal queues on our top rollercoasters, and chill out with a relaxed party vibe across the Resort.

Rides Available:

SAW: The Ride

The SWARM

Stealth

Colossus

Nemesis Inferno

X

Tidal Wave

Storm Surge

Detonator

Tea Cups

Dodgems

Depth Charge

Flying Fish

Amity Beach (Weather dependent)"

It's a few more rides than last year, so I suppose they are expecting it to be slightly busier and are trying to target more families with a couple of smaller rides added to the line up. However, ride availability at Thorpe at the moment is so dreadful that I think you would be lucky to get anywhere near that number of rides on the list!
