FYI from tribal board:
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we must announce that the May 1st Tribal Gathering Warehouse Party is now not going to take place. While preparations for the event have been going well, certain factors now make this party completely impossible.
When we found the venue for May 1st, we thought that it would be able to be granted a licence for the same number of people as last years warehouse party (10,000 people). This was not the case, and the provisional licence came back from the relevent authorities as only being licenced for 7,000 people. The authorities were totally supportive of the event and we appreciate it, but it was not meant to be. Safety has to come first and the warehouse could simply not have enough exits installed to meet the required 10,000 capacity to make this event happen... Now we can see why we were the first people to put on a warehouse party last year for the first time in over ten years! Even if the event were to completely sell out, as it almost certainly would have done, a huge amount of money would be lost.
We are of course very aware that this will come as a disappointment to everyone who has already gone out and bought tickets for the event, and also to everyone who was involved in putting this event together. We hope you realise that if there was any way for us to move forward with May 1st, we would do so. We could have looked at cutting down the line-up and production to save some money, but then this would have resulted in a reduction of everyone's enjoyment, and that is not what we are about.
It is Sankeys 10th anniversary this year, and we want to make it really special. Sankeys is going to get some undivided attention - we're going to make sure that we pull out all the stops!
Watch this space for details about future Tribal Gathering events. We will, of course be returning with some mouth watering parties in the very near future!
we'll see you all soon...
