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?
