Yup Europe certainly knows how to throw them.
Sadly Defqon1 and Decibel mostly cater to hardstyle, which I like listening to live but not so much on my own.
Here's Decibel's ShowMovie
There are at least 2 large events that mostly focus on gabber hardcore, and I'd really like to go to one of these two
Dominator
and Syndicate (which is the one I'd like to go to)
I wish UK hardcore had a much bigger following so it could have a better representation at these large events. Or if the scene was more organized and the producers and promoters more united to host a large event like these.

All of those clips are unbelievable.
The only outcome I can see for a UK Hardcore event of that size is total chaos. Wrong kind of boisterous crowd. An all day, multiple arena/tent festival kind of thing would be cool. UK Hardcore tent, Gabber tent, Freeform tent, Happy Hardcore tent etc.

It would attract crowds on this scale tho - even HTID can't manage it in Spain.....

That's kind of the idea Jay lol
And it's certainly doable to attract that crowd for a UK hardcore event, although the thing is if they include gabber they can't skimp on the talent, even if they're costly. You need a bigname headliner in gabber. Something like this would definitely have to start small and build its way up.

No, I agree mate.
Crowds that size will inevitably lead to some kind of trouble.
Doesn't necessarily have to be a rave either. Went to see Robbie Williams with the missus the other week, 55000 crowd, saw loads of little outbreaks of trouble - and for a crowd consisting of mainly middle aged women that's surprising.
Saying that, the amount of hormones flying about would have been ginormous!

lol robbie williams
The only songs I remember them ever playing here from him were millennium and Angel. And I think Angel was one incredible song. After those two, nothing.

Yeah, don't think he ever went down well over there.
I've got four or five of his albums, lol. I used to proper like it! I still like all his same songs that I used to.
This one from his Sing When You're Winning album has got a weird DnB type section at the end, with this uplifting vocals. Weird, but good! Have a listen:

Nothing remotely weird about it. I like the whole song actually.
And I think one of the reasons he didn't go so well here was his comments on boy bands and his experiences in it. he said it at the time when everyone was in love with them lol
So what's your favorite video from him, Jay? Rock DJ? ;)
this is how to put on a rave
