Dance Tent


Guest JohnsonWHU

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Been reading up on these forums for a while, but only just decided to join so this is my first post, so be kind :-)

who do you think will be performing in dance tent this year? seen a topic already regarding magnetic man, which is looking rather unlikely due to their SW4 and creamfields gig, which im gutted about because I pretty much missed every dance tent act last year due to being in a bit of a state on the sunday and not knowing where I was!

So therefore Im looking forward to dance tent even more this year, and plan to spend majority of my sunday there, especially if MCR are on the sunday...

I'm hoping for aphex twin, chase & status (maybe too big for dance tent now), nero, or someone along them lines.

Chase & Status are playing V so unlikely to be at Reading. Could do another DJ set though. Their set in '09 was packed, people were hanging off the poles & had to be shut down (I don't remember this).

Nero is a good call & I've seen Aphex Twin mentioned before. I reckon the Qemists might appear as they have a bit of cross over appeal. Might end up with a Pendulum DJ set early on, which would give them time to get to London for SW4, unlikely though.

Would like to see Sub Focus (awesome last year), Brookes Brothers, Nero, Zinc, The Nextmen, Freestylers & a more dancey act like Tensnake/Mylo, any of them to turn up. Tbh I think they should just hand the tent over to Hospital records to curate the whole day. That wouldn't please everyone though.

It's pretty gash Cremfields & SW4 are on at the same time.

hmm nero may play on the dance tent, but i have a feeling they could play low NME, although i reckon dance tent is more likely and probably the better option for them.

i reckon it will be similar to last year in terms of dubstep & DNB acts playing higher up the tent, so im thinking maybe danny byrd, caspa, shy fx, DJ fresh etc.. but thinking about it, last years dance tent would be hard to top seen as rusko/MM/Subfocus are pretty much the most known and successful in the industry.

Oh right didnt realise chase n status were at V.

Yea would welcome any of the mentioned above.

I know this has nothing to do with reading, but anyone going to see deadmau5 at victoria park? Just released the line up, which is looking good.

Would welcome most of them at reading.

Apologies didnt realise there was another thread for this.

Yea I saw skrillex at a car park rave in london in january. was his first UK gig and it was pretty mental.. think he'd be brilliant at reading. Modestep were also at the same event and were much better than I expected, getting quite alot of Radio 1 airplay so could be a possibility also.

yea I would see all of them, seeing Nero this weekend in newcastle too, and will also see them at deadmau5 gig so not too fussed if their there, haven't seen caspa so would like to see him, not a fan of danny byrd. high contrast maybe?

Caspa destroyed my ears in fabric a few weeks ago, gets a bit samey after 45mins for me though. Danny Byrd was a bit rubbish, he played a mix od DnB & rave music that nobody liked. High Contrast is standard festival fayre now, nobody hates him, but everyones seen it before. Would like to see Skrillex on the bill as I doubt many people would have had the chance to see him & he's an up & coming DJ. New Zealand Shapeshifter are new Hospitality signing that I could potentially see play. Tbh, I think it's going to go down the dubstep route rather than DnB.

The line up for dance tent doesn't announced for ages so it's gunna be a long wait.

Was said on another thread that Flux Pavilion has said he is playing, which tends to suggest they are taking the dubstep route again.

In that case maybe Nero is a good shout for headliners. If they bring a album out this year its going to be huge with Radio1 plugging every song by them

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
