I understand times are tough but putting unproven headliners on, just cause it's 'interesting' is bullshit. Surely the people at the top of the flyer should be proven, skilled individuals? Otherwise, surely you're taking a gamble and risking ripping people off?

I'm finding this more and more through my own DJing. It's like being yourself isnt enough anymore. There needs to be some PR bullshit. **** that.

And how do we change this?

Sure, promoters need something to sell - but why not sell skill - not hype!
This is not news, been going on for years. Started with those shranztards, now it's all blown out of proportion.....
