something deffo needs done...

The original post that started this thread said exactly the opposite of that.

Perhaps what you are saying has resonance with big trance or 'pop' dance music events...

Sorry if you miss-understood in what I was saying basicly I was saying in general that some people that go to Techno nights held in the UK only go to them when when a big name Techno artist is playing & don't turn up when it's an artist they haven't heard of.

Well thats ccertainly a truism. What do you think about the reverse though?

IMHO i think variation is the key, along with the event. I dont think just having a diet of techno is the answer and hasnt been for years. Different genres of music at the same event makes things much nicer, House, Techno and DnB in one event? Wicked.

After all you dont see events with different bands on all playing EXACTLY the same genre of music in their sets do you? Rock, Thrash, EMO, Ska, Ballad.

I think it also happens at other nights as well not just Techno or Electro even it has happened at Drum n Bass nights where people only turn up to see big names play. I don't understand why people do that but as someone said in the thread it's not about the music anymore. They go to see the big names coz it's the cool thing to do so they can brag off to their so called cliky cool mates that they saw such & such play in a club. We now are living in a sheep Culture where people have no mind of their own & take any old shite that is thrown down by their throats by the media.
