The one positive I've taken from this is that it's been confirmed that I made the right choice to delete my Facebook years ago. More than a few illiterate roasters leaving stupid comments on the event page for HTID ITS. I'm cringing for them.

Haha true, but that's always been the case as far as I can remember it, even here but not as much lately. Seems to me that you have to have a lack of literacy to be a "true" fan of hardcore lol.
What boggles my mind is why some of the ravers don't understand the reason of disappointment by a good number of people. Sure people could go on raving and not let them affect the changes, but when you take into account the cost of flights, hotel, meals, jacked up price of alcohol, and other out of the ordinary costs of a weeklong oversees trip, this was simply not what was promised at the time of purchase. Either people who don't get that are rich as hell, or completely dense and ignorant.

if this is the future of hardcore, it's ****ed.
My latest album has outsold all previous albums and last year I got freeform on Westfest, the biggest indoor rave of the year. We are all fine thanks.

Yes, they seem happy enough 'bcoz itz bangin!'. People have a right to be pissed off at the amount of changes, which as far as I can tell, happened with no prior warning. I'm sure I'd be trying to make the most of it if I was over there, but I'd be pissed off as well.
That chaplins place looks like more of a pub than a club. I'd be fuming if I'd travelled all the way from Australia or America to listen to some hardcore tunes in a pub.

Alright so someone posted something from the lineup, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
So Saturday's is very odd considering that the beach party was supposed to be on Thursday, unless this is a 2nd beach party that was cancelled. Also the night is very short, unless Saturday is the same day they're doing the Waterpark Party. They cut it short that night all the time to about 4hrs in the club.
Friday is also confusing, because it looks as though that the lineup is built to get you hyped up for the waterpark party. The year I went the night before the waterpark party we had 4hrs of Darren Styles, along with Force and Breeze joining in. It ended an hour early too, at 4am. last year it was a similar take, with a Gammer & Friends night with Gammer on for 4hrs. This looks to follow the same thing, Joey Riot with Kurt and Lady Dubz for 4hrs of Joey Riot. There doesn't seem to be 2 opening acts for that night, and the foam party is starting much later than usual. So they have really skimped down on everything this year. They totally should have gone with just a 3-4 day weekend event like Ibiza Goes Hard.

Doesn't look too bad actually. I like the idea of the old Skool night after the waterpark. Much better than the previous two years with the American and Canadian takeovers. I'd hazard a guess that Re-con will be closing the event, although it could also be unknown with whizzkid. I'm sure breeze will play a styles & breeze classics set on one of his sets.

Just noticed that on Sunday yay for everyone not having to endure Klubfiller for the closing!
And I thought the Canadian takeover in 2012 was amazing, and people really loved it. It got lots of compliments from the UK ravers, and they played a ton of different things that the rest of the djs so far have not played.
As for last year, I wasn't there, but I think it sucked for those who went for the weekend because that happened on a Saturday night instead of on a Friday night like in 2012. They're not all the same djs as last year, and I have no clue if the sets were any good, but it was a rather weak weekend lineup for the last few days of the event. It wasn't just the North American djs, it was also the UK djs. Lots of the top tiered djs were done playing before the waterpark party. And of course the Klubfiller set ending the event.

Sorry if it's already been touched on before, but did anyone get to the bottom of/find out why Storm wasn't out there?

Because he's playing Ravers Ibiza & also something to do with NYE.
He thought he was only going out the first 3 day's & then got bumped right off the event altogether.

Surely there's more to it than this? I assume there's many DJ's and Mc's playing both Htid in the sun and ravers Ibiza.

After the first day, I've seen nothing but positive reports from the event from both ravers and artists. In fact, people have been really enthusiastic about it! I still have a feeling it will be the last.
It's such a shame that Ravers and HTID have fallen out and are fragmenting the scene when actually it's a scene which requires everyone to pull together to survive.
It'll be their fault if it all falls apart.

There has to be more to it really, doesn't there. He obviously hasn't just dropped out for whatever reason, judging from his comments on Facebook, which he has now got rid of. Sure if it's anything worth knowing we will do soon.

It's clearly some backlash from his Raver's Choice shenanigans. Perhaps his ego got so inflated in bringing down one event just so no one will see Sy play that he wanted to try and make a drastic change to HTID ITS, which backfired on him and left him out of work. I know a far-fetched theory, but with that awful cunt you never know.
Storm not being there is the biggest positive of the whole event, and isn't Keyes not there as well? Double awesome if so!

Too much shit going on all over the place.
Regardless of what my opinion may be of certain individuals, i hate seeing this kind of thing happening.
Carry on with your arguing, silly ego-driven games and backstabbing - then you can be left fighting over what'll be left of the scene. Precisely F*** all!
