I like HTID, have always enjoyed their events and want them to succeed so I hope it goes well. It does however look like HTID's time in hardcore might be coming to an end. I hope not mind!

On top of MC Storm not being there (big win in my book), the complaints from people already there it looks like it's one chaotic mess. The beach party got switched days without warning, if you didn't get your wristband first day you have to somewhere else to get it, and it looks as though the water park party will begin much later than expected.
and apparently Gammer was the kickoff set, so looks as though he might not even be there for the weekend. But you never know. Wish we had a list of the lineup.

Agreed. Always been my favourite event but they seem to be much less of a force than they once were. It looks like Hixxy has really taken a back seat over the last few years, although he still has a hand in things. This is probably a lot to do with it. Along with the music just not being everyone's cup of tea anymore.
The complaints on the fb page about the event are typical of my experience at ITS in the last couple of years. It feels like the promoters have lost a lot of passion and interest in it. Storm not being there wouldn't really bother me but I can understand why people are frustrated. I'm sure the flyer was done in good faith and they expect everyone named to be there when it was done, but not telling people when these DJ's or Mc's have cancelled/been cancelled is bad form, people pay good money for the event and it's not fair on them.
I think the event has done it's time. It's not a shadow of its former self, time to call it a day.

I think being upset over Storm not being there is incredibly ridiculous. He's just an MC, it's not like he was one of the top-tier DJs there. You can have a great time at a rave with no MCs, but you can't even have a rave without DJs.

It does sound quite bad. Whatever happens (i.e. long-term wtih HTID) I hope the week is salvageable for these poor fcuks that are out there now expecting to have an amazing week. Could have so fcuking easily been me.

glad you decided not to go! I cannot imagine with these complaints already they would make the same mistake twice for next year, if they even decide to do one more, which I can't see that happening. This works in Ravers Ibiza's benefit.

It'll be a real shame if it turns out to be a poor week.

Only 900 tickets sold apparently, half the raves are in chaplains bar rather than collossos, storm's not there, beach party was moved days.
Still absolutely devastated i'm not there, makes it even worse that the reason we weren't going was because my girlfriend couldn't get this week off. And now she can, and is off for the week.
Be totally gutted if it turns out to be the last one.
Oh well, got now that's what i call hardcore on saturday, should make it a bit easier!
Just gotta look forward to Uproar in the dam now!

Do you know how many they sell typically?
P.S. Good to (briefly) see you at HU the other week mate. :-)

"Htid in the sun opening night was fantastic! Easily the most fun I've ever had playing in Collossus. I know the 'no-mc' sets aren't for everyone but the ravers seemed to be vibing well
Highlights include Andy Whitbys idea of 'let's just drink Til we get picked up at 4:30am' and then us suffering on the floor of Girona airport at 6pm questioning why we thought it was a good idea
Sad to be home already. Hope everyone has a great week!"

They sold at least 1k the year I went. Isn't the 900 figure what they sold last year?
