Dundee's One Big Posty Gathering AKA Radio1's One Big Weekend Gig
Brought to you in assocation with: YOUR LOCAL POSTY
This weekend Dundee will see the delightful gathering of bands such as Snow Patrol, Keane and Muse at that lovely park gifted to THE PEOPLE OF DUNDEE some years ago, CAMPERDOWN PARK. Special guests include EBAY TOUTS, selected DUNDEE POSTIES and of course any one who works for RADIO ONE. Those lucky folks in Glasgow and Inverness are being treated to a BIG SCREEN in the city centre whilst the lovely people of Dundee can enjoy views of some crappy fountains and NO BIG SCREEN WHATSOEVER. And if you're hoping that something big like this will come again to Dundee sometime soon - then stop hoping. Dundee never sees events on this scale. This will be the first and the last. Once again Dundee has been shat on from a large height. ENJOY!!!
POSTMAN PAT SAYS - "HAVE A NICE DAY FOLKS - I KNOW I WILL!"
BUT WAIT...there is hope after all...and it comes in the form of...
ONE BIG PARTY
For all those without a ticket (so that's roughly 90% of Dundee) all is not lost - several people are planning a LEGAL mini-protest party next to the 'Posty Gathering Gig'. You can access the site via Couper Angus Road, which is the Golfers access. Please view here the proposed site. Joe Public is allowed entry to this part of the park on the day. The golf course and the zoo are still open this weekend. The mini-gig is being discussed here on Radio 1's Message Boards (M in the Park thread). For more information and latest updates click here on the One Big Party Board (Organising thread).
Please circulate this URL and let the people of Dundee know what's really happening this weekend!!! Please sign the petition here and let Radio 1 know how pissed you are. Look out for flyers which are currently being distributed. (View here) We realise this has already been given local press coverage and would like to stress this is strictly a peaceful PARTY - please don't come if you want to disrupt the main event. Take your acoustic guitars and your plaquards, Postman Pat outfits optional. Camperdown Park is not owned by the council, it is owned by the people of Dundee - it is a PUBLIC park so refusing the public access is illegal. So come along for the crack, but please, be warned...strictly no posty-bashing allowed.
