Rocko, this is from the HarderFaster forums…. so glad I didn’t waste money and go.
Before I slag the thing off completely, I did enjoy the time I had at the 2 days that were open. The music I got to see was top notch, the sound system was fantastic, a great vibe, great weather, some good choices of stalls.
But – run by a complete bunch of fuckheads. Got there 8am on the Friday and had to wait an hour and a half to get in, because the girl who had the wrist bands and got herself completely wankered the night before and noone could find her. Nice. The ticketmaster woman did much the same.
You were told to bring no booze, only to find out that actually you could take in 8 cans per day when you got there.
My favourite bit – no dj set times anywhere.
Sweet. Its not like I came to this specifically to see certain Djs or anything.
(eventually a couple of the tents put some up, but not til way later.)Half the tents cancelled. Clearly had been for days at least, but of course they werent going to tell the punters that. Shades of Wildchild organisation there. So half the DJs you wanted to see weren’t there.
Lousy camping facilities.
The music had to be turned down to barely audible after midnight as it was too loud otherwise. I loved the look on Christopher Lawrence (one of the biggest DJs in the world no?) face when he was told thats how loud he had to play.
Thed cutting the festival a day short cos of environmental reasons, hacking off 1/3 of the DJs that were left of the original 50% that should have been playing.
Environmental? Really? how come then, when we were chatting to a barman on the Saturday he said “I dont think we will be open tomorrow”.Making the Stewarding jobs a voluntary thing, rather than paid staff, was a great idea as it meant everyone was there to get wankered, meaning all the stewards were off their face.
Perfect.35 foot inflatables on the live stage? Really? I saw a 6ft green dragon fly. Big fucking deal.
Seriously, I could go on and on and on about how poorly put together this was, but I’ll put as much effort into this as they put into organising it and stop now.
The bloke who put it together claims he spent 3 years organising it. I would suggest about 3 weeks of that was organising, the rest of it he spent in a corner somewhere in a jibbering off his tits way.
A massive
goes to Nu Nrg collective for the set of the weekend for me, utterly breathtaking relentless hard trance. Shame about the lousy MCing over the top though.John Askew and Eskimo coming in a very close 2nd.
Nice to meet so many great people who, like I, didn’t let the shambolic efforts of Antiworld ruin the fun they could have.
I only hope all the people who were so fucked off with all the nonsense choose not to go next year so that they dont make the money, cant run it and waste anyone elses time.
