Welcome | 3
Welcome! We are delighted to share with you the programme for The BIG Takeover. This festival, which celebrates Scotland’s Year of Young People 2018 has been developed by a group of talented young people from across Shetland, working with staff from the Big Takeover venues. We have ‘taken over’ seven Lerwick venues and come up with an exciting weekend of events and activities for the whole family. Many special guests are coming here to perform, other events will showcase the special talents of our young people in Shetland. We want every child and young person in Shetland to have the chance to enjoy The BIG Takeover, as well as the opportunity to showcase their skills and talents to their families and friends. That’s why we’ve tried our hardest to keep the cost of a membership as low as possible and included the activities and transport within the membership fee. We are delighted that young people from other areas of Scotland will be coming to join in our event too.
We also welcome DJ Danny K for the BIG Disco and Foam Parties in the Park, and if you enjoy being outdoors there’s a whole range of large scale inflatables and other fun activities to enjoy including the Army Assault Course, Wrecking Ball, The 2 Lane Bungee Run, Land Zorbing, LazerQuest, Target Paintball, Supersize Circus Slide and Segways. If you’re not too squeamish, you can also try “A night at the Museum” or a Murder Mystery Evening. This is a key event in Scotland’s Year of Young People 2018 and is supported by EventScotland, part of VisitScotland’s Events Directorate. There are so many things to look forward to - get your memberships and tickets and we’ll see you in September. The BIG Takeover Team
Some of the highlights include Nick Sharratt, world famous author and illustrator; award winning Scottish Band “100 Fables” and circus, dance and drama performances that have been created along with local young people.

Accompanying Adults do not have to buy a membership or a ticket to accompany children to some events (e.g. the Inflatable Extravaganza in the Gilbertson Park) but will require a ticket to accompany children to certain events (e.g. Shetland Youth’s Got Talent in Mareel where seats are required).

Please note that tickets are required for events that have a limited capacity. In order to book tickets for “members only” events online, you must have a membership and be logged in to your Box Office account.

You will however have to pay the full ticket price. If you are a member booking tickets online – you must log into your Box Office account and when you reach the checkout stage the ticket price for your selected events will be removed.

The Gig Takeover - with 100 Fables Age Group: Primary 5 – Secondary 1 (Accompanying Adult Required) Saturday 15th September

Join 100 Fables and other special guests at our BIG Takeover Gig Takeover! This event is in partnership with Shetland Young Promoters Group. One of the most exciting young bands in an already-thriving Glasgow music scene today, 100 Fables were born from a shared love of the new wave movement and their passion for the ’80s new wave and post-punk electro sound. The four-piece effortlessly combine all of these influences into a powerful high-octane mix that follows in the steps of the acts that have inspired them – such as Blondie, Altered Images, Gerard Way, The Cars, Le Tigre and The Killers – but firmly sounds like nothing else but 100 Fables.
