In your opinion.
Lazers and ice cannons should only enhance a good artist and not be a cover for how sh*t they are (Tiesto)
I get the impression that you think the bigger an artist is and the more you here of them the better they are as an artist

I heard there were more fights etc due to the fact more chavs were there, due to the fact of the pop/urban whatever you want to call it bollocks line up, putting more bollocks on is just stupid.
It shouldn't be about the money though, that is the point, it should be about the music, look at the European ones listed here, brilliant line ups.
If GG can't fill a large place with dance acts, then they should downsize, until they can get a decent crowd with decent artists, simple!
This!
One of the best rooms in London imo is Plastic people and the only light in the room is the exit sign over the door!

Dancing with your eyes closed: aye or nay?
And what counts as a small club capacity-wise?

That's the thing, I'm not one to dance with the eyes closed so do like a few lights going on. I've never had ice cannons or all that jazz, though. Favourite club is The Arches (Glasgow), but that's maybe because I go there most often and have 'bonded' with it.

This in my opinion is one of the best lineups Global have produced for a while.
Fair enough they have got a few 'pop stars' but you have to remember that they do need to sell as many tickets as possible in order for them to be able to fund the festival and make it as good as possible.
In the current financial climate where alot of people are being careful with their pennies having these acts will open up the festival to a wider range of people meaning they'll still get the numbers in.
Global no longer advertise themselves as a 'Dance Festival' either..they always say electronic festival and all of these acts would also fall under that catergory too.
I believe the lack of hardhouse this year is due to a hardhouse festival (or something of the sort) being held the same weekend.
Good to see so many old faces that never disappoint as well as alot of new ones too. The Trance lineup on both days is as good as ever. I personally can't wait for it now.

my favourite World Headquaters in Newcastle, 2 rooms, 300 in each, but rarely open both, amazing club, everyone is laid back, even the doorman, you can have a laugh with, and they won't throw you out for being
ha haone thing I will say about nearly all UK festivals is that they are money-driven and policed by knucklehead security teams which kinda ruin the experience for me. The idea of being at a festival for me is supposed to be about escapism, escaping the norm, escaping your normal weekend out, being free and open to new music, new people, new food etc etc - but such is the ever increasing popularity of festivals it's really hard to find any which are genuinely that good and different from the pack. The foreign ones increasingly appeal to me more because they seem genuinely more relaxed, even though they can never replace that wonderful feeling of being in the english countryside on a warm day. The festival I went to in ibiza last summer wasn't really a festival at all, more a collection of events, very amateurishly organised, which only added to their charm and as I get older that smallscale, closeknit kind of family feel to events is increasingly what I want, getting ruined alongside people whose values and tastes you trust rather than in a sea of anonymous people listening to music you simply can't bear. It's not so much about is DJ X better than DJ Y, I pretty much know already which DJs are on my wavelength, and I know a few of the ones I like in person, it's all about the vibe and the reason the festival exists in the first place and the rest will fall into place.

I'm talking about a few lazers, etc, not chandeliers. When I'm
I like a bit of visual stimulation. If i wanted complete darkness, I could lie at home with my headphones and shut my eyes.

I've said this a few times already, but i will say it again:
It shouldn't be about the money and how many tickets they can sell, it should be about the music!

Most places that play proper dance music understand most of their punters will be
, so don't turf them out. Once in Fabric, my mate got pounced on for being (think he was dancing with eyes closed). The two of us left behind were wondering what to do - should we leave the club and go looking for him outside? We maybe spent 30 minutes trying to suss out a plan and, just as we were thinking about going, he came running back in. They must have just put him in a holding pen lol to chill out for a bit.In The Arches I've seen people leaning on walls or sleeping on chairs, but security just give them a gentle nudge to check they're alive or let them know it's almost closing time. Considering all that, it really p!$$ed me off once when I got refused entry (well, not exactly refused; was told to go away, have a bottle of water, then come back) for being 'drunk', when I was no more than tipsy.
