i have 6 artist bands, if i go ill be putting one on and making a dart for the artist entrance making sure i dont bump into billy dunseath along the route! to be fair, i didnt see him once last year or the year before so i should be fine lol.
but to be honest, i really doubt ill go

[playthatbeat]

No clue so far as to what the announcement is.. But according to information gathered, ticket sales for EVERYTHING are on average 40% what they were last year.. This is accross the board, theatre, rock, cinema, dance gigs etc.. Not a healthy situation at all..

Having said all that, the things that are genuinely awesome, and don't fall apart under close examination are still performing well.. (classic rock gigs, public hangings etc.) Sadly, there isn't much of that nowdays.. the sheen is gone from just about everything in the ents. business.. sadly, i think we all KNEW it was bullshit at the time, but we got on with it nonetheless. Now everybody is thinking twice about stuff, and see the true value of what they are offered.

I still maintain if ****** is added to the bill of PLi, it will become worth 100 quid. You all know my opinion of eddie halliwell (who?) but the hype surrounding a ****** performance is enough to make it seem like a real good deal.. Weird thing is - i remember from the very first mentions of a lineup for this PLi gig in the media, halliwell's name being touted, as was armin's, so don't be shocked if they both turn out alongside ******, making it one of those 'if you don't go you have failed at this' gigs.

Wrist band's

Any chance of giving me a wristband?

[jasonmcareedj]

well i for one am not going even do i still have a blast of artist wrist bands and they used the same ones up north the last 3 years and down here bar the year they had the yokies for around your neck.

anyone know how many tickets are for the gig as it stands?

[Deedo08]

I dunno

I reckon number 1.

Oh and ****** is crap anyway..

[playthatbeat]

I hear there is a 'big announcement' coming on friday about this planet love south gig.. I predict 1 of 2 things:

1 - scaling down of the event to the size of the M50 Exit 15 gig to cater for <5000 to reduce costs and deny anyone a chance to object to the licence, since you don't need one for <5000 people.

or...

2 - the addition of ****** (not full show just a DJ set since he can't get arrested these days..) & Eddie Halliwell (pushing his amazingly original idea to 'edit' the tunes live and make a whole new tour experience,,) for no extra cost..

I have to admit, if they add ******, and Ed-iT to the bill, then it becomes actually good value, and anyone NOT going would be doing themselves..

If they go for [1], then it's egg on faces for anyone that agreed to work for them this year for 150euro, as there will be nowhere to put them,and they will be blanked - enjoy your failure guys.. If it's [2], then there is no contest - the gig will be as important and as act-laden as any of the big Dutch or German events, with the added bonus of some welcome localisation. Then, and only then, will the price be worth it.. As it is, that price is about Double what it's actually worth (taking into account everyone is broke now...)

ALSO:

Just heard about this:

ESCAPE FEST 09

here is the info to escape > fest 09 > > location : navan area > > opens:1130am > closes :1130pm with escape > after party in liquid > finishing @ 3:00am > > capacity: 4500 > > 4 tents: 2 large with 2000 > capacity in each & 2 small 500 > capacity each > > > Confirmed > arena 1 acts:scot project, > cosmic gate ,matt > hardwick,mike push,gibbons, > webster > arena 2 acts :yoji,tidy > boys,annne savage,bk > arena 3 is old skool > arena 4 is an up and coming > arena > >

Mmm.. has PUSH, has YOJI, has COSMIC GATE etc. But will fall on the same weekend as FATBOY SLIM in marley pork (oink oink)..

Could be a runner

[jasonmcareedj]

there hasnt really been a lot of hype about it this year?

is clarke still playing?

[Deedo08]

Cen fa?

Why wat happened dat he aint doin the show from it

[playthatbeat]

Bad news in my INBOX this morning.. Looks like Dave Clarke will NOT be doing his show from the event as expected

This means we have no legitimate reason to be there on the day, so i don't think we will be recording any of it..

We had hoped to cover some of the Letrik tent, and some of the Streetlife tent...

Maybe something can be salvaged from the mess, but with no reason to be there, it's unlikely.

Meh.

[Deedo08]

I'm thinking a low profile is in order on the day. So, i'll be in camoflage gear, under the netting, with my face painted to blend in with the surroundings, RAMBO style. Definatly thinking about digging a trench or a makeshift cave to use as HQ.. Something tastefull, surrounded by Sharpened branches dipped in cowpoo.

[Deedo08]
