[austic]

anyone buy tickets for next year yet?

[austic]

SHM one last tour closing and Armin so far are the only two announced.

[fly_26]

Not Ultra, but going to EDC for the second year in a row.

Was debating going to Ultra but honestly them making it two weekends turned me off because I didn't want to run the chance of going Week 2 when the dj's I wanted to see were during Week1, or vice versa. Unless they plan on having the same artists playing both weeks.

Most likely hitting up EDC this year too. You grabbing VIP tix, or is it not worth it?

Depends. I didn't do VIP last year and didn't feel I missed out on anything, whereas I had a few buddies who did and they would do it again if asked.

The pro's is you do get in faster, and have a separate bar area to buy drinks and an elevated stage to a couple of the stages. Personally, I preferred to be in the crowd. You definitely can get in faster with VIP but even with GA tickets I don't recall waiting in line that long (when you factor in the amount of people there), and if you go earlier you'll get in just fine. Also I heard the security isn't as tight at the VIP entrance but people in GA didn't have any issue bringing stuff in (if you're into things besides drinking).

For $500 for VIP I'd rather get GA and use the money saved to hit up the pool parties during the day that will be going on at XS, Marquee, Tao, etc. But in the grand scheme of things VIP is only like $200 more so it's not a life changer if you splurge a little and get it.

Either way you should definitely do it up, EDC is a great time.

Hey thanks for the awesome write up man, really appreciate it. Sounds like typical 'VIP' perks, and I don't think most of my friends would justify spending the extra 2 bills lol.

First day of EDC falls on my birthday this year, I'm pretty stoked haha.:hijack:

[pheoxs]

I tried getting the early bird EDC tickets but got dragged out to a co-workers going away party over lunch and missed it :banghead:

Going to try again in January and land some tickets, none of my friends will give a definite answer that they'll go, not sure if I should but a few spares in case they come or say fuck it and just go myself.

[Hi-Psi]

I'm rocking EDC this year, can't wait! Would love to go to Ultra but I'm stuck at work which really sucks

[austic]

When do they normally announce phase 1?

[psycoticclown]

Should be soon, Deadmau5 was announced today too.

[psycoticclown]

Phase 1 announced!


Ultra Music Festival has revealed the first phase of its 2013 lineup. Sadly, there’s no Daft Punk — but the lineup does include Avicii, Bassnectar, Tiësto, Afrojack, Fatboy Slim, Calvin Harris, Hot Chip, Crystal Castles, Yeasayer and Thievery Corporation alongside previously confirmed headliners Swedish House Mafia and deadmau5.

Also playing are Carl Cox, Armin Van Buuern, Above & Beyond, David Guetta, Richie Hawtin, Knife Party, Boys Noize, The Bloody Beetroots, Kaskade, DJ Fresh, Matt & Kim, and Booka Shade. Two more phases of the festival’s lineup are still to be announced.

As previously reported, Ultra 2013 takes place over two weekends (March 15th-17th and 22nd-24th) at at Bayfront Park in Miami. Three-day and VIP passes for both weekends are currently available.

http://c438342.r42.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Ultra-2013-lineup-e1356747314965.jpg

Looks crazy already! Definitely needs some Daft Punk though.

On a side note, I know I'll be definitely avoiding Deadmau5 haha.

what a piece of shit show he had today. heard he was the same in van and edm. Worst DJ EVER.

[badatusrnames]

Do EDC tickets typically sell out quickly? How long are they available for?

Thinking of going, but need some time to make a decision.

:werd:

Absolutely the worst DJ i've seen, some of the most expensive tix too. Boring as shit, doesn't know how to transition, doesn't know how to drop, doesn't know how to get the crowd going. Just fucking shitty.

the last two years, EDC didn't sell out until May, and its at the end of june, so you have lots of time to decide. im trying to budget for EDC as well, but i bought my shambhala tickets

Shambhala all the way

No offense man, but Shambhala looks like a dirty hippy fest. Do people even shower?

Can't really compare EDC to Sham, totally different styles of festivals.

Yes, people shower, and no, it's not a "dirty hippie fest". Don't knock it til you've actually experienced it.

Both are crazy good, but youre right that they are different festivals.. I've been to both and I prefer shamb because you're totally immersed in the experience vs. edc where you're in Vegas and have to travel 2 hours each way. It's nice having your camp 5 mins away from the events.

looks pretty solid soo far.
Agree it needs a little Daft but if Daft in coming it will be timed with the Coachella announcement/new disc dropping to increase the hype.

I would also love to see DADA LIFE

[austic]

for those going how bad are your flights?
I have 3 flights both ways

[dj_patm]

lol I laugh so hard when Deadmau5 calls himself a "live" act.

Unless he's completely overhauled his act he is nothing close to "live". IMO, Fading in and out your own stems is less impressive then putting together a good dj set.

haha, i did that the first year but i just can't do it any more. showers are just so refreshing after sweating all day in the heat.


but back to the topic.... i'm a little underwhelmed at the coachella line up this year and am considering Ultra... can anyone that's been to ultra comment on how expensive it is? flights, hotels, etc? i've heard it's better not to buy a ticket to the actual festival and just go out to the pool parties and clubs at night.

thoughts?

[psycoticclown]

^Hotels now are ridics expensive, pretty cheap during the week but outrageous during the weekend now. Flights were pretty cheap for us though if you come in during the week.

Anyways... PHASE 2 ANNOUNCED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The lineup is UNREAL!!!!

Flights were $800 for me and sucked but I have to coordinate with 3 others flying from Ottawa so my selection wasn’t every good.
Room was $350 a night at the Sheraton that includes breakfast
Tickets were just shy of $300
I know we are doing an extra day in the keys after the weekend.
Cant comment on the experience as I have never been but the guys I am going with go every year and said it’s amazing.

[austic]

Tickets are in, cant wait. Weekend 2

[psycoticclown]

Can't wait!!! Gonna be a crazy weekend. Anybody doing any other shows? We're hitting up Spinnin' Sessions on wed with Sander, Showtek, Carnage and others and then checking out Gareth's extended set that night. Dunno what to do Thursday yet though.

[dj_patm]

Lame that they split it up.

No Idea what we are doing as thy boys out east planned it all. Just need to show up with money. I know we are spending some time in the keys partying after.

[diamondedge]

Holy shit ASOT mega structure lineup...:drool: I'm super jelly.

[austic]

Set times are up, looks like there is going to be some tough decisions.

[psycoticclown]

Yea, so many decisions. Wish it ended later too.

[sabad66]

Oh shit, stage collapse:

http://gossipextra.com/2013/03/14/ultrafest-miami-stage-collapses-bayfront-2391/

20 people injured with at least 1 not expected to survive?? brutal

[GS430]

Wow is all I can say.

I was glued to the stream all weekend.

[GenerationX]

Hardwell's set was unreal

[GS430]

Originally posted by GenerationX

Definitely.

Laidback Luke, Hardwell, Flosstradamus, A&B, Aoki, and of course AVB stood out for me.

[fly_26]

Nicky Romero threw down a sweet set too from what my friend who was there told me and listening to it as well. Completely forgot there's a Week 2, so should be more streaming sets next weekend.

[l/l/rX]

deadmau5 was still lame as fuuuuuck. hahaha, what a boring ass dj to listen to. Hardwell definitely killed it!

[Hi-Psi]

I've been saying for years how sick Hardwell is, glad he's continuing to rise in the DJ/Composer world.

He'll be #1 this year, I said it at the beginning of the year and he hasn't slowed down for a second

I love Sirius this week playing UMF and all the weeks events

[lauphman]

Avicii was interesting lol. Country house music.

[teggyR]

avicii's set was cringe-worthy bad, good thing tiesto saved the night.

[dj_patm]

What the fuck was Avicii thinking?

If thats his actual album then this is career suicide. His management team should be shot. Folky-Country music and EDM are about as far apart as genres as you can get.

Mumford & Sons & Avicii.

Sets that stood out for me:
-Laidback Luke
-Sander Van Doorn
-Armin Van Buuren
-Hardwell
-Fatboy Slim
-A&B
-SHM
-pretty much the entire ASOT 600 stage too. (Dash, ATB, Cosmic, etc etc..)

[lauphman]

Alesso was great, imo best set of ultra.

[Hi-Psi]

Deadmau5's weekend 2 set was amazing! Aanyone that says he fell off doesn't know what they're talking about.

I caught a bit of his set and I agree. He's an EDM legend. Whether you like him or not, you have to respect what he does as an artist.

[dj_patm]

Deadmau5 played the exact same set as weekend 1. The main reason why I dislike him so much is because he thinks he's so much better than a normal dj cause he calls his sets "live" even though that is about as far from the truth as you could possibly be.

His set was decent though.

Alesso was unreal. SHM's last show was very good as well.

[KRyn]

Thanks for the link to those sets, listening to Carl Cox at work. Easing the stress of this Monday.

He's definitely a pretentious, stuck up knob at times. Can't argue there. :nut:

[austic]

Catched both of Carl Cox sets and had the time of my life. Spent most of the weekend in the arena what a amazing venue. Best stage by far. ASTO600 was awesome, spent the entire day in there until heading over for the SHM finale. Only thing that continued to suck was the logistics. Free water but only one station for the entire festival. Ultra Worldwide stage was terrible. not enough room so it spilled out and made it impossible to get around.

[psycoticclown]

Werd, Carl Cox was sick, saw him for a bit on Saturday. Best set for me was ATB's, best stage definitely the Megastructure. Avicii's set was the worst fucking garbage I've ever heard, fucking sucked. Deadmau5's set sucked big donkey dick too, such an overrated fag. Boring ass garbage lol.

[petoria]

anyone going to umf 2014? curious of when the best time to book flights are...they're around 700-900 at this time...don't see them dropping b/c of ultra weekend

[austic]

I think i booked my flights around November/December and paid 500-600

Flights sucked thought, went Calgary --> Winnipeg --> Montreal --> Miami
then Miami --> Toronto --> Calgary
