Definitely too many. I think it has a negative effective on club nights. Wouldn't be so bad if some of the line-ups weren't so samey.

due to the large number of festivals now the line ups are going to look samey! as has been said it feels like there is a festival in the UK virtually every weekend over the summer, and that is before you take the large number of European festivals that are swarming with british clubbers (hideout etc).

I honestly feel that due to the saturation of dance music festivals it is honestly hard for a promoter to make their festival line up stand out. The more savvy ones are now turning to non dance acts to give the line up a bit of differential from all the rest. Parklife this year is a good example of this.

I dont necessary agree with Ikoda on the UK Club night calender.....my night has always done really well in the summer months. Maybe a lot of a that reason is that we do the outdoor/strange venue thing for which sunshine obviously helps!

I should of said UK Trance Club Nights, sorry! Haha. That's my only real knowledge, the scene dries up during the summer for us.

Is anyone thinking of doing Creamfields this year? I've not done a festival in at least four years and fancy doing one. Any other recommendations? (Dance music based is preferable)

fair enough mate. my own view is based on how the summers have panned out for us over the years.

im not going to creamfields myself this year, but have been the last couple after a few years of not bothering. I have enjoyed the recent ones that i have been to....and the line up this year has something for everyone.
 
Quite predictable line up again this year, don't think I'll bother going. The Pryda tent is the only reason I've attended the last few years.
 
Psy-trance community is fiercely independent of all other scenes. They're basically the bastard offspring of the 90s free party/goa scene. I think all that's left of it in ibiza now is the odd night at dalias. I used to like the more accessible end in the 90s that crossed over with more mainstream trance eg platipus, noom records. Worth checking out if you missed out/were in nappies at the time
 
A certain island chef de partie is blowing off his goa/psy trace vinyl for a party very soon:twisted:. hopefully eh might do a few specials over the summer months.
