Same here! I wouldn't mind a stop at KlubC for Nia Archives but not gonna happen. That's an almost certain clash -

Rise Against was already kinda known but if they are main stage again, though I don't think they will be, they would be an easier miss. The festivals capacity is going to dwindle down. On the whole I wouldn't be surprised if this surpassed 55k this year. -

It's a good thing in that the youngsters I know today listen a broader range of music genres than me and my friends did when we were young. They have access to everything, they can and do cherry pick their favourites from almost every genre. They're less likely to pigeonhole themselves into one or two genres, and I think that's a good thing. But I wouldn't swap the world when I was growing up in the 90s for what they have now. I wouldn't swap browsing independent record shops, Way Ahead Records, Virgin and HMV, there's something about just flipping through those stacks of physical media looking for something you haven't heard. Then using the listening posts, and sweaty headphones, to discover new music. Playing on the latest console at a retail display, because you couldn't afford one at home. Flicking through the posters every day, as if they'd ever actually change. Recording music you didn't own yet from the radio, mastering the skill of starting on cue, and stopping the recording as soon as they start to talk. Borrowing your friends tapes (and CDs) to record duplicates to tape. Making your own mix tapes. In the late 90s I was lucky enough to be given a minidisc player as a present, that was life changing, recording from any source to digital, skippable files. I copied quite a few Hysteria, Dreamscape and One Nation packs onto disk, I wonder what happened to them. I was mostly into D&B at the time, but there was this one Sy and Unknown set, at Dreamscape's Road Block Tour 98, that I couldn't stop listening to, it always put me in a good mood. (I still have it 🙂 ) Once I was earning enough to reaIly buy lots of music, I went through the whole 'buying only vinyl' phase in 99 and the early 00s, you know how it goes, pair of SL-1200s, dreams and fantasies and all that... No, they may have it all at their fingertips now, but we definitely had more fun with it.
