Non-Essential Festival: Loads of last second cancelations...
oappleby by Ollie Appleby May 3rd, 2002
The Bristol Essential Festival has been "forced" to cut back a couple of stages and bands for the Sunday Rock! day, claiming "safety issues" as the reason.

The site is said to be wet after heavy rain over the last week with organisers deciding that "moshing crowds" could make things a little dangerous. This means that two stages and a number of bands have been cut.

Our previews of the stages still apply in the most, the organisers seem to have done little more than shift a load of bands around a little, and cut the Metal Hammer Arena with it's bands. Check below for the full line up for the sunday as it now stands...

The revised line-up for sunday the 5th is now:

13 Artists Arena
Supergrass
Beta Band
Shed 7
My Vitriol
Ed Harcourt
Simian
Matthew Jay
Dog

Backlash Arena
Levellers
Seafood
Capdown
Guttermouth
Jello Biafra
Athlete
Gemma Hayes
The Leaves
British Sea Power

Sidewalk Arena
Hundred Reasons
Pitchshifter
Sick of it All
Alex Empire
Hotrod Circuit
Hell is for Heros
Onedice
Scuttle

Sleazenation Arena
Rocket from the Crypt
Soundtrack of our Lives
The (International) Noise Conspiracy
The Dirtbombs
Halo
Sahara Hotnights
Bellrays
Randy
Earl Brutus

Bacardi BBar
Bobby and Steve
Martin Morales
Glen Gunner
Basil Black II Basic

If you still want to attend this event, tickets will be onsale for all days at the gates, not that poor ticket sales are to do with some bands leaving the festival.

Full line up details of the whole weekend can be found here, don't listen to the official site or their phone line, they lie.
