Read above - I know this!
unfortunately its gonna take a lot to convince my mate, and to be fair, he does like his trancey music. Already gave him one of tiesto's sets from Cream earlier this year and he loved it. Not my thing anymore, but then everyone has their own tastes and opinions. The way I see it, 1. I didnt know about Viva till a couple of weeks ago and had been looking forward to Cream anyway. 2. I wanna try and get a Coco Loco from that Tirri guy/girl whatever 3. Every other night we go to is gonna be the type of music I like as opposed to what my buddy does (he likes but prefers the likes of Cream) so I figure thats the one if he really wants to go. Gotta compromise sometime, I'll have a good night no matter where I go, and its important to me that my friend enjoys his holiday too.
Shapeshifters are pish - not even gonna look for them. yousef will be good. and as for tiesto and oakenfold, i've never seen either but grew up listening to oakenfold on various cd's and essential mixes, so will be good to see.
just gonna watch out for Desyn and Sasha locally.
