Dunno if he was supposed to be there longer or not though.. on the FB people are justifying the move as 'Well the beach party was free'... doesn't mean it probably wasn't part of the appeal for people that decided to arrive later... shame

Do you know how many they sell typically?
P.S. Good to (briefly) see you at HU the other week mate. :-)
Usually around the 1500 mark i think. Last year especially a lot of people went just for the weekend. Was definitely more there last year than 2012 though, shame it's taken such a hit this year.
Yeah mate was good to see you! You have a good one?

Brutal. That's a huge fall.

Had a phenomenal night mate. Loved it. Got a bit pissed and left a few hours early though. Very rare (that I leave early, not get pissed lol).
You have a good one?

It was around the 900 mark last year if I remember correctly. Absolutely no chance that there was 1500. Surprised that there's not been a more substantial drop this year.

Nah was definitely more than that out there last year, was about 900 just at the waterpark!
Had a cracking night Jay, was worth it just to see Robbie Long! But man it was loud, and warm!

Cooor mate, it was ridiculously loud! Some of those Scott Brown kicks sounded utterly insane.

With no real way of knowing for sure think we'll just need to agree to disagree on that one. If the first ITS had around 2000 then id say last year had about half of that. I think this is reflected in the line ups. At the first ITS most of the big name DJ's and MC's were in Lloret all week playing sets throughout. Nowadays they come for one or two days, do a couple of sets max then fly home.

so someone posted this, the event lineup and nightly themes every night. Notice that 4 of the 7 nights are at Chaplins, some other venue, that probably has no 2nd room. Here's the link to the venue. Nice pics, but doesn't look very big https://www.facebook.com/ChaplinPartybar

That's unbelievable, so many changes with no warning. Surely there's some kind of rule in place to stop companies taking ?100 plus off you then making such drastic changes to their programme. I notice also that there is only one foam party instead of the two advertised. Only one boat party also. Madness.

You can tell by the name that 'Chaplins' is gonna be a right shithole.

Lloret de mar in general is a shitehole. Can't say I've ever noticed this chaplins place when I've been there before.

Felt a right Charlie

the current state of htid in the sun is a perfect allegory for the current state of the uk hardcore scene - a hollow shell for what once was. just a bunch of disorganized promotion, overrated djs and shitty house induced 'hardcore' tracks masturbating each other.
if this is the future of hardcore, it's ****ed.

That's the future of mainstream hardcore, the smaller labels and events are doing just fine. And HU is flourishing under these circumstances, and they work with mainstream artists as well. So it's definitely not the case for everyone. I will say, I will be pretty amused by the fall of HTID. Though they have created some amazing events, and I will always cherish my time in Spain with them 2 years ago, they did this to themselves. They let the politics behind the scenes get the best of them, and the ones paying the price the most are their following.
