Something is in the air and it seems the plucky underdogs have returned with a festival in The Baltic Triangle!
Coming Soon//Threshold 2012.
Were you at Threshold 2011? If you were - and we definitely were! - You'll know that it was a whirlwind of activity, flitting from band to band, stage to stage, beverage to beverage, lift to lift, gallery to gallery and much more besides. I'd go as far to say that if you weren't there you missed something special. Following the closure of last years venue CUC there was some uncertainty as to whether this years festival would go ahead but like the hardworking people they are, the organisers persevered and now the festival is taking place at multiple venues across the Baltic Triangle.
Highlights are sure to be many and if you haven't got plans that weekend- or even if you have - come on down and join in the fun! Tickets are still available and are must haves! The festival will kick off with an opening ceremony outside CUC at 5pm and from there anything could happen. To see the line up for all three exciting days check out the festivals Tumblr page.
In the meantime, here's how we covered last years festival:
"With the stretch of the expansive Contemporary Urban Centre filled with creativity of all kinds, it was akin to a game of Creative Roulette to pick the right place to be at the right time for those cultural epiphanies..."
(From review of Stealing Sheep at Threshold 2011)
"If time can truly fly, to use the old adage, it must surely have done so during the almost non-stop - except for a rather distracting fire alarm apparently caused by a smoke machine! - weekend of art, culture, film, music and much more that was this years Threshold Festival."
(From Scattershot Photography at Threshold 2011)
Look out for our reports from Liverpool's most exciting grassroots festival in February when Threshold will invade us with a chorus of passion and creativity!
