I don’t think this is petition worthy really - an artist/band is made an offer which they choose to accept or reject.    If you don’t like the offer, don’t play. It’s really as simple as that.  We discussed this last year when Dutty Moonshine complained that they had to do 2 shows to get enough band tickets for their 12 band members.    If the offer isn’t good enough, move on! No obligation.

I was talking more about more club oriented / techno music but yeah Sabres of Paradise could fit in it. I have discarded everything that is ambient or less club-oriented like Beatrice Dillon, Shed live or Motriz Vons Oswald that could fit well in the Auditory or early in the Warehouse.      Thursday: Jaime XX, Brutalismus3000, John Talabot b2b Dj Dustin, Kelly Lee Owens, DJ Koze, Dj Python, Barker, Djrumm, Kia, Toumba, Jane Fitz, Sabres of Paradise    Friday: Amelie Lens, Antor, Floating Points, Danny L Harle (live), Kittin, Jehia, Kinetic, Mala Junta: D.Dan & DJ Tool & Hyperaktivist & Yazzus, Mor Elian b2b Alarico, Sideproject, Simo Cell    Saturday: Nicola Cruz, Confidence Man, Danny L Harle (dj set), John Talabot b2b Mad Miran, Joy Obirson, Lanav, Dj Masda, Sandwell District, Sherelle    It's insane, nothing like the previous two editions. It's impossible to create a clashfinder based on 2024 and 2023 — there are too many DJs even the warehouse gets saturated because there are always two or three ambient or more conventional live acts per day 

I wouldnt watch the 1975 under any conditions barring Clockwork Orange-style open eyeball torture, but can recognise that loads of people like em and promoting bands to headliner status is a broadly good thing. (that singer really is a tit though)

I haven't been keeping up with all the goings-on in relation to this other than the first date got cancelled, and now it's scheduled for this weekend on Netflix.    Tell me, could we see Tyson die here? I'm genuinely concerned for him, and I don't know how this event got the green light. I remember watching his fight against Kevin McBride and surmising he was too old, past it, and needed to stop boxing immediately...that was twenty years ago!   It would be amazing if Mike caught him and knocked him out. But other than that, my main hope is that one of them pulls out of the fight at the last minute.   Thoughts??

yeah Gate D is incredibly boring to work on after the initial ingress!
