Club Nights or the Multi-Stage Festivals?

[Illuminate]

Electronic music in this current age has somewhat evolved not in quality but definitely in quantity. In our digital generation from the introduction of Pioneer CDJ's to touch-screen mixers, to the bedroom DJ's. The current generation; my generation has always pushed for the more bang for your buck theory.

I have always recognised here especially in Sydney the club nights are filled with an much older crowd, who seemed like they were there to witness Sasha and Digweed on the Renaissance tour. Whereas, in the festival scene you would see kids possibly half your age, and you ask yourself, I hope your parents know where you are and are you even legal to be in here?

After catching up with a few friends who have dissipated to the endless European summer in search to be recognised as the next big thing we always focus our discussions on one thing: which would you prefer; Club Nights or The Festivals?

Personally I always will prefer the intimate club nights, hearing and experiencing a thorough 7hr set in a dark room is all me, but Festivals these days provide you with everything, spectacles, fireworks, line-ups bigger than Ben Hur, the whole travelling and facilitating circus.

So, I wanted to get a worldwide perspective on this.

That poll is too hard for me Moonpark is unique. !! It can't be classed. It's not a festival. It combines the best of both worlds.

Now I'm pretty sure most here know what I would choose between a Dark sweaty club and a festival.

Festivals these days provide you with everything, spectacles, fireworks, line-ups bigger than Ben Hur, the whole travelling and facilitating circus.

But is it about the music ?? Because I don't want any of this. I just want great music. It's pretty well impossible for a Dj to play his best in a short set at a festival, usually with crap d sound!

Except for Moonpark iot would have to be dark sweaty clubs. The darker the better

Btw I'm working on coming to Sydney for Hernan's Sydney gig. Biggest problem is finding somewhere to sleep/shower etc. on the Sunday ! Sydney or Canberra. Hotels don't let you book in before 2.00pm and I really don't want to pay for two nights when I am only going to be staying a few hours.

id prefer seeing hernan and howells b2b in a dark club rather than a stage, but moonpark is a hard one

Re: Club Nights or the Multi-Stage Festivals?

^^^ You would absolutely love Moonpark. Having done just that, seen Hernan and Danny b2b at Moonpark , It was an amazing experience. Let's agree to do both one day !!

Ah too bad I'm not in Sydney

Unfortunately festivals are most definitely not about the music, and more about some ephemeral vibe that is usually a coalescence of lights, people, drugs, alcohol, and then music. Whereas in a club I'd say the music takes a bit more precedence in that hierarchy.

Moonpark can not be regarded as a festival, even a night club.
is a unique experience. the magic that come out from that place is incredible.
