    You win some you lose some...

    We tried to have a good time anyway but for what it cost it was impossible not to be diappointed. Well done the people who came and played for free, my respect for Fergie went up another notch for playing several hours to a virtually abandoned tent for nothing. I didn't realise Marco Bailey or DJ Murphy went ahead with it though, nobody had the remotest clue who was still playing and where...

    Shit happens :whoops:

    Your'e right, noone knew who was on or where at any point other than Sat on the main psy stage which seemed to be totally unaffected by the whole fiasco.

    Marco Bailey, DJ Murphy and DJ Preach all played on the fri night in the tent full of Maniks Funktion 1 (hosted by Party Proactive) - the tent Fergie played in also hosted the Chew The Fat breaks day on Sat but unfortunately for them there was about 20 people in there at best the whole day :-(

    Manik were a part of this?
    No wonder it went poop.
    Too many gangsters involved in this event.
    I knew this wasn`t gonna go well, but wanted to keep schtum for fear of being called negative.

    Well they were supplying the sound in one of the tents - believe me they had nothing to do with it going tits up whatsoever. Two reasons as far as I could see -

    1. Not enough tickets sold to get anywhere near financing the ambitious lineup they promised.

    2. Bad location - the council were obviously uneasy about this from the start and the night time noise restrictions were a joke.

    sorry mark i disagree
    he is a twat
    and i'm not surprised this went the way it did
    he's got a bad habit of not paying and not respecting ( did anyone hear about them emptying the loos into the local river????)
    and to be honest that is why i was not on the bill

    i will not play for him

    Now there is a big old nugget of the truth.
    So many naughty things have happened behind the scenes with this "organisation".
    Since day dot at tyssen street studios, bad shenanigans have gone on.
    It`s about time it was disclosed.

    well i can only go on my own experience. i've been paid all the time apart from alexandra palace and even then it was me who told him not to bother cause he'd obviously lost out. anyway, a forum is the wrong place to get into this surely?? :;

    it's a shame, cause the uk does need more events like glade and the like. hopefully we'll get someone else taking the risk in the future, but obviously with a bit more thought about promotion...

    Am going to Glade, and well looking forward to it, but it could do with a bit more techno.
    Mark, any chance of you driving up in a minibus and playing the decks out of the back doors, like a crazy mobile disco?!? He he, that'd be ace =)

    do you know, i was thinking of buying a van next time instead of a car, so that i could do exactly this. i've lost count of the times i've been outside a party thinking wouldn't this be a great spot to bang out some tunes. imagine that. a full on mobile techno machine.

    it sounds pretty bad - but i've been to some pretty unorganised festivals over the last few years

    sunrise last year couldn't afford to pay any crew or artists etc. It's a poor goings on really. It's generally acknowledged that a festival won't make any money in the first three years - but the way people manage it is to get some serious financial backing for the event. It seems to me that the festies that run out of money tend to be the ones run by egotistical idiots that rush into these things without thinking through the full logistics and costs of a large 3 day event.

    anyway thankfully there are still some good ones about - we'll be pulling on site at the glade on monday - hopefully the weather will take a turn for the better and the sound restrictions won't be too severe.

    bum deal for those who paid to go, but I got a 2nd set thanks to the mess, and played to a pretty up for it crowd, in the same tent that fergie played to no-one.

    After a day of middle of the road minimal I think my tougher stuff went down fairly well.

    Im beginning to hear more and more rumours about what went on. And I know a lot of stuff first hand, but mark is right, this, and any message baord for that matter, is no place for it. They ****ed up, end of. Though I wouldn.t count on people getting any ticket money back

    cheers darkmode by the way. will give the tunes a listen when i get back from serbia

    I missed your set... it was such a shambles that nobody knew who was playing and where so we missed even the few things that did still happen.

    I'd normally agree that message boards aren't the place for slagging off - but as someone who paid a shitload for this fiasco instead of going to glade for eg I feel completely justified in it... there was no way that weekend was anywhere near worth the (considerable) cost and there's absolutely no ****ing way I'll ever think about going to another event that's got the antiworld name anywhere near it.

    Fair enough there's a learning curve - and fair enough some of the lineup getting pulled - but for absolutely nobody on the bill showing up and the whole thing being axed a day early? The more I think about it, sod keeping quiet - I'm furious...

    I don't see why negative comments should be kept quiet cos this is a public forum. That seems bizarre. There's no place for mindless insults or attacks on the organisers (calling them "tw*ts etc) but if people have simple factual complaints, then they SHOULD be aired in public, no?
    Nothing wrong with that, and no need to keep it secret.

    The whole thing was a joke and a rip off. Too many things going wrong there all the time, I can't even be arsed to go into anymore detail.

    The promoter is a fu*king cunt.

    END OF.
