    and to be fair where's the potential when, apparently, half the artists advertised where not booked in the first place, or certainly there wasnt the money available to 100% secure the services in the first place, in which case they shouldnt of been advertised.

    i dont think anyone can defend the promoter here to be honest

    Englands music scene is a lot more prone to fashion, and unfortunately techno is pretty much out of fashion.
    So we have less support and fewer numbers to support such big festivals anyway.
    I think this was run more in the lines of, lets earn as much money as we can, rather than correctly assessing the scene and market.
    Solitary by nature.
    Isolation is the gift.
    Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?

    Quite simply put, if the techno DJ's and PA's advertised on the flyer where there, performing on the outdoor stage (which had an awesome system), with that sun, it would have been the best thing ever. And thats a fact.

    Always seems to me that there are more Techno fans in Holland, Germany etc. In the Uk Techno just isn't that popular. Any Techno club night I go to is always half full, and tho people love it, the crowds are never there. From what I understand, Techno clubs in Europe are much busier and more popular.
    Maybe we just don't have a big enough scene to support large events like this? We can't sell enough tickets, so we can't pay for the artists, so it doesn't work.

    This is NO excuse for what happened at Antiworld, just a thought in general.
    Do big events in Germany etc work out better cos they have a bigger fan base?

    i have never quite raved in something as brilliant as that dance arena. sippin the cheap tuborgs with hawtin playing till the sun comes up. bliss.

    only downside was the death train back into budapest...hell on earth.
    did you get involved in that debacle?

    The dance arena was the most incredible outdoor space i have ever seen.

    The happy novi sad stage would have been unbelievable on its own, were it not for the fact that the main arena joined onto it.

    Loved prodigy, snoop (hahahaha) and the beasties.
    Green Velvet was ace, hawtin ok then there was just lots of bumbling about blethering with friendly people from all over.

    City beach was mint, drinking in Novi Sad was loads of fun.

    Quality. Going to try and drag a few peeps down next time.
    Appreciated my A/C apartment no end though. Camping in 35 degrees sounded grim...

    we made a point of grabbing some sleep on the weds night, and goin home early the thurs. really couldnt be arsed with hawtin

    so after that was feeling fresh for the rest of it. and to be honest, staying til 8am then passing out in the sun was quite pleasent. our tent was in the shade so wasn't too bad

    I was at Exit - f ucking awesome! The Prodigy was nuts on Thurs - one of the best gigs I've ever seen, the Techno on Happy Novisad fri nite was nice and dirty, some girl called IVEE from Belgrade played an Ableton set that was hard as nails - fantastic varied music all over the site - Jon OO Fleming played a nice Psy Trance set, Ed Rush played a heavy DnB set & then the music from Tenaglia, Green Velvet, Hawtin & Marco Nastic on the dance stage was sublime - that was a proper festival!

    Seems you have to leave the UK to get a decent festival this year.

    I hear the Glade site is like a warzone at the moment.
