 On 13 July 2002 The Blimp hosted and curated the "J in the Dark" event in Glasgow as a counter to the T in the Park festival happening the same weekend in Balado, Perth and Kinross.Although the event was intended as a snub to the festival's perceived commercialism the band were criticised for the apparent reference to drug use that the event's title implied.In the autumn of 2003 The Blimp were asked to support the Sensational Alex Harvey Band at renowned Glasgow venue, King Tut's Wah Wah Hut.
