Ok let me first emphaise that this is currently "in-negotiation" so its not set in stone however i need to get some feedback from you guys about if i run some Gigs in early 2006. Currently we are negotiating with many artists, we hope to be THE promoters for artists that mainstream promoters dont bring over, that artists use to come to the UK. For this we NEED YOUR HELP!
I need you all to support any gigs we run, if we are successful then we can bring over many more artists and ensure we can secure larger venues, so ok what i need to know...
IF we run 2 gigs when artists are here in the UK, ie, North & a South (around Manchester possibly in the north and possibly around london in the south - depending) would you make the effort to attend in the locality nearest to you? Tickets are likely to be around £10-15 dependent on overheads and concert size, this will go to cover costs, advertising and promo.
I need to get some idea of numbers of you here on the board and how many people that you know that may come along with you? The domino gig we know will be a more intimate affair however the outlawz we are aiming to get 2000 people in each venue....to set up something like that i want to start knowing now who will make the effort to come support us...(include numbers of friends etc)
thanks again guys and i hope we can make this successful and get many artists out here who would never otherwise get the chance!
-
Sounds like a very good idea, I'd be willing to help out in whatever way possible. I believe there would be enough people interested from North and South to make these concerts sell 2000+ tickets at each venue.
-
sounds like a good idea....

So you'd support and come along?
Keep it coming guys!
i want a reply from ALL UK users who read this...ALL of you
-
if the shows in England goes well would you consider organizing shows in some other countries in Europe? i could go to the show in London but it would too expensive coz flyin to London if you´re gonna stay for 2 days costs 40 euros then the show and a hotel.
-
I'd head to a concert with my friends, If the tickets were around £10-£15 that's a bargain when you compare it to some ticket prices being around £40-£50 these days.
-
yes we intend to branch out to the rest of the EU IF the shows are a success, if people do plan to come to the UK for any gigs i will look at booking cheap accomodation for you to get...doubt i'd be able to help with flights though....when we announce the gigs i will throw that open to people who wanna travel to see the gigs and see how many will come and see bout reduced rate accomodation!

i could get a flight for 30 eruos both ways so that wouldn´t really be nothing. prolly wouldn´t bring any friends though coz i don´t think anyone except for my big bro would wanna go but he got kids and shit so i doubt he´d go.
-
ok cool, well if you decide to come over ill see what i can do for you man, great to see people gonna support dubcnn! thanks...keep it coming guys!
-
well you don´t have a date with reservation for changes yet right? if it´s on a weekend(or friday night) and it´s before january i´m definently interested in coming over. the flight´s only for an hour aswell so it wouldn´t be too bad. i´ll get back at you next week about this coz i´m very interested coz most of these artists aint been in my city and they´ll prolly never come to my city and it´ll cost me as much and take me as long to fly to Stockhom to see them so.....
-
yea, well it depends on the artists, domino is likely to be this year, the outlawz probably not til february! when the site is up ill get you guys all the info! like i say this thread is to gather numbers from here to guage the ideas popularity!
-
the outlawz probably not til february
The Outlawz will be in The Netherlands and Germany next month.
-

The Outlawz will be in The Netherlands and Germany next month.
cool, were looking to book them for then as an exclusive gig...promoters in the UK aint expressed interest in the...hence why dubcnn aims to rectify that attitude in this industry!
-
I will definantly supoort this if this happens
-
you need to go further north than manchester, thats not in the north if you ask me. one nil owen!
-
ive got to bridge the gap somewhere, its the north of england and has excellent transport links, newcastle is a massive stretch for say the midlands but manchester bridges that distance, if we get people from areas in large numbers i will see about transport being put on a low prices...
-
Im in london, if its somewhere i can catch a train to , sure id be up for this
*wishes there was a DJ Quik concert in the UK*
-
Well your wish may well come true next year! ;)
-
sounds like a good idea....
So you'd support and come along?
Keep it coming guys!
i want a reply from ALL UK users who read this...ALL of you
for sure
-
Great response so far...but lacking in numbers! Come on UKians, one post is all i ask!
IF it was on on a date you could make it...would you make the effort to come out and support our gigs? ;D
-
Yup, I would be there for any London gigs. You mention Mack 10 in the subject....any idea when that one could be?
Depending on dates etc, I could get a handfull of people out.
KoDY.
-
Great! Not sure on mack yet, IF we can reach an agreement then it could be feb/march, depends on his schedule with the new album!
-
Depends on what acts you get, i'm not interested in Outlawz, Domino or Mack 10. However get Quik, Strong Arm Steady, Likwit (get the whole lot in 1 gig, that would be dope), Ras Kass, Warren G depending on how that months money situation and it being in London, not near it (smaller venues are better!) then i'll prob be there. Or if you did like a weekend with a load of people (and no gay uk supporting acts) that would be kinda cool way too spend a load of money.
-
out of those 3 acts, i reckon Outlawz would probably sell the most.

Of course that is the aim, but we need to build up a rep and show we can produce shows that people will come and see, if i hired out a venue for say Domino for 500 and filled it then i can move up to outlawz and fill 1000-2000 venue and the venue would see our past success and approve it...after that i can look into getting SAS (remember with the xzibit interest there would be a huge number of fans to accomodate and that needs the company thats doing it to have a rep) of course i wanna bring quik, ras, warren etc, im a fan too you know! But im not made of money and dubcnn hasnt got a rep YET for gigs as such and yea while its in the UK there is likely to be other acts on as warm ups...thats the nature of the business...we cant run shows if we dont break even, if we dont make the money there wouldnt be another show....there are NO level-headed, just for the music MAINSTREAM promotors in the UK, i hope there will be in us but i need all your help to make every show we do a success! I've got ideas to make gigs/shows etc more cost effective for fans, but til i can build a rep and get the money turning over i cant do them!
Thanks again for the feedback and i do hope youll try to attend any we set up!
-
Depending on the acts and the dates, would probably be able to get 3-5 people.
-
If it's a date I can make I'm there, regardless of the artist... might be able to get some mates along but their interest in hip-hop is limited... :( The missus would definately be dragged along tho.
-
rud that would be great if you could try and hook up somekind of transport, coach etc.
im sure that mnay people would be up for it.
-
Id be up for it, could prob get a few others to come also.
-
id go with a few friends
-
Don't really have enough of an interest in any of the artists mentioned to go to their gigs, but I'll definitely support if/when you get an artist that does interest me over.
-
Every artist metioned except dominoe id mos def be there with at least 15-20 nigaz. I could probably get 30 2 go. Warren G came out her a few years ago and he filled wembly arena! Thatas a 10 minute drive away so get any artist 2 be there and i will go
-
^^Man thats great to hear! Thanks for offering that support! Keep it coming guys, i know theres more of you! I'll need all your help too spreading the work when we drop the dates/artists etc!
-
im definatley up for this idea... i could get around 6-8 people to go, dependin on the acts of course... But Rudd you got my fulll support with this..

And you got my thanks and gratitude and +100 props! I'll make sure any signings/meets we manage to arrange with artists at gigs are rewarded to forum people first who have supported us since day 1!

TBH.. i doubt more than a handful of people over here know who Domino is

Domino is only set to be 150-300, v. intimate, im not fully involved in it as it was preped prior to me being involved ;D

Hey guys,
This is my first post but I have been following the website as a guest for years and have really gotten into hip hop in a big way. Anyways, I recently went to the Snoop concert in Cardiff and the G-Unit one and went along with 7 of my mates. They thought they were both great and any more westcoast acts we would all welcome and attend. It would be nice to see people like warren g and dj quik.
Good looking Rud,
Matt. 8)
-
i would go if i lived near either Manchester or London.
you would get more demand for people like that in Glasgow than you would most other Uk venues.
we love our hip hop up here, that's why Eminem and 50 refuse to tour the UK unless they're coming up here.
if they come here i'm sure it's not too much to ask of others to do the same.
-
Rud, I sent u a email. holla at me when you get a chance. I might be able to help you with this. im gonna be in Dublin and London touring from the 4th to the 10th, lets hook up and organize some shit. I almost had syke and rbx on this run with me, but they was havin some passport issues. but im booked 6 more times next year. check ya PM.
