Here it is, Tidy Weekender 5, the biggest weekender on planet Earth for the Harder Generation is about to take off.
Once again thousands were left wondering what was going off behind the weekender gates, as every single space at Tidy Weekender 4 was snapped up in record time.
This time around we need you as our new recruit, as the whole weekender goes camouflage crazy as we say come and join the Tidy Army.
Our new recruits and old veterans will be treated to even more fun during their 3 day stay at "Base Station Tidy".
So what's in store for those who are quick enough to enrol and join the Tidy Army?
FRIDAY NIGHT - New Recruits Night:
For the first time at a Tidy event we will have a dress policy on Friday night to help you all get into the spirit of the Tidy Army. No sportswear or street wear will be allowed on our new recruits night. We want to se eyou decked out from head to toe in call camo, crazy cyber camo, face paint and, of course, large helmets, which are entirely optional! It's the only way you can join the Tidy Army.
ARENA 1: Harder Generation Anthems
We welcome you all to a rousing selection of "National Anthems". We were simply astounded at how well this worked in Arena 2 on the Sunday night at Weekender 4 so we thought let's do it again, but this time let's throw in an opening set from the Tidy Boys plus lots of your favourites. It's going to be an awesome way to kick start the Weekender, Arena 1 is "Anthems for the Harder Generation".
ARENA 2: Yoji and Friends
We proudly welcome back the man from the rising sun as we go mental oriental. Yoji Biomehanika is a DJ god in Japan and has already become something of a legend over here. He only makes a few appearances in the UK per year, and has never before hosted his own room, so this is sure to be a talked about moment at Tidy Weekender 5.
ARENA 3: The Boudoir, Make Love Not War
Corporal Foster and Captain Ramsden aka The Trophy Twins take over Arena 3 for another Funky Friday. They promise to convert the new Arena 3 space into a seductive and sensually arousing spectacle of debauchery.
SATURDAY NIGHT - Battle of the Sexes:
ARENA 1: Girls Room
It's pink to make the girls wink, look at the stage and not a man in sight as we go girl crazy and the ladies show who's really in control. Let the battle of the sexes begin.
ARENA 2: Boys Room
Come on you men, let's show them who's the daddy as the boys take control of Arena 2. This will be the ultimate battle of the sexes as the boys and the girls go head to head and arena to arena. It's who can keep their dancefloor the busiest, a battle to see who will be crowned king or queen.
ARENA 3: Hardcore - The Speeding Bullet
Faster than a 9mm and harder than steel, we welcome back Brisk and the Next Generation crew for more barmy army hardcore. Arena 3 will be a no-holds-barred, full on assault on your senses, are you big enough to take it on?
SUNDAY NIGHT - The Great Escape
ARENA 1: The Big Bang
You like it hard and you like it fast to finish off your time here at Base Station Tidy and that's just what you're going to get. Once again we have held quite a few surprises back here at Tidy HQ. Our Commanders are in position, are you ready for The Big Bang?
ARENA 2: The Bouncing Bomb
The bounce is well and truly back, with a hop, skip, jump and a wiggle. Arena 2 plays host to the Generals of all things bouncey. It's cheeky and fun, and for some it's the only way to say goodbye to your new found comrades here at Base Station Tidy.
ARENA 3: Love and Peace
If Arenas 1 and 2 are all a bit too much why not slow things down with the ultimate chill out zone in Arena 3. Giant bean bags, groovy visuals and a sound track to help you wind down the weekend. Chill out and chat to new comrades in peace and harmony.
DAYTIME
We've seen everything from indoor fairgrounds to Cheggers and Rainbow and who can remember the first hard house pub quiz at Tidy Weekender 1? Once again we are sure that you will not be disappointed with your daytime entertainment surprises.
For many, what happens during the day is just as much fun as what happens in the venues at night, so we promise to continue delivering outstanding day time events.
Of course the Queen Vic will continue to be open during the day with DJs kicking off from mid afternoon.
Your Saturday hosts are Oblong and guests. Your Sunday hosts are [censored].net.
WARM UPS
Is it your dream to play at the Tidy Weekender? Well now we are giving you the chance to play the warm up sets in the Queen Vic, its that all important section of the night before we open the main arenas.
We will be hosting two different competitions, one of which is open to Tidy Message Board users and one which is based on just how much you would love to play.
The message board competition will be judged by Tidy management, message board users and Tidy's top tip for 2004, Amber D. You can find out more about this in 2004 on the Tidy Board.
Just how much would you love to play? Well here's your chance to show us your dedication to your cause, aver the coming months this competition will be on Tidy.com. We need you to send us your most weird and wonderful suggestions as to just what you would do to get that set. Would you spend Saturday afternoon at TW5 dressed as a pantomine horse with someone you have never met before? Would you lay in the Queen Vic in a bath of custard? The madder and sillier, the better as far as we are concerned. We will pick the best 3suggestions around a month before TW5 and if you manage to go through with your challenge you will get the set. It's as simple as that, dedication is what you need.
THE TIDY DIARY ROOM
The Tidy Diary Room will return, it's your chance to be a star or just waffle about random clap trap.
There's so much to do at Base Station Tidy, be it watching our own channel designed to entertain and inform the Tidy Trops, messing around on go karts, taking a walk down to the beach or maybe turning your pad into the place to be.
If you're a new recruit, you're in for the time of your life and if you're more of a seasonal veteran, welcome back.
