Com Truise is banned. Good riddance.

Has anyone had any success with the locker thing. I keep getting payment errors.

yes I booked my locker yesterday. But they have some sloppy system because I didn't get a email about booking but I documented whole process on print screens so I hope it will be ok.

To be fair though, why should they trust the identity of someone, being told by a fake account? They're trolls and this is the internet. Anything goes and if you react like that then they'll keep on doing it.

Being totally honest, I don't care. Everyone calls everyone a bellend and this is the internet, that guy is a total dick though and I was sick of him. You're completely right about reacting like that and they keep on doing it. Allowing him to think he was really winding me up and thinking he had me all upset so he could get some sad kick out of being an internet bully, got him banned, which was my goal. If he was just a regular user like Muzzy or anyone I wouldn't have done it, but he was stoked on his 7,500 posts so this will knock the fuckers ego down a peg.

Racism is racism though, associating black skinned people with monkeys is out of hand regardless of any circumstance.

I've been refunded and bought a new one but have no confirmation email so I have no fucking idea how I'm gonna get my locker.

Fair enough dude, I don't agree with racism, naturally. But I find people who get upset over trolls quite funny, so as you realise what they're doing I'm on your side.

Although I have a dark sense of humour so maybe I'm a biased opinion.

Well hasn't this forum has gone down hill slightly.

Anybody else enjoy the hosts of our gloriously disorganised festival get an absolute spanking.

1-5 ouch

Still no announcement, not surprised.

How irrelevant does everyone expect these "not big" acts to be?

he posted a meme, it wasn't a racist attack? You made it racist by twisting the situation to get him banned.

Yeah, there wasn't anything at all racist in what he posted.

I'm not taking sides- I kept out at the time to avoid doing just that. I feel there's a real problem with racism & it needs to be stamped out- but people bringing out the race card after jumping to conclusions and not knowing the proper context doesn't help the cause at all.

Also people need to stop brining up how many posts people have on here because it really is irrelevant- a lot of us have been on here longer & post on much more active forums than this one.

What youre saying would be valid if he didn't go on with it. Had he of of just dropped it after the first time and said he never intended it to be racist than that would be been the end of it, but twice more he continued with the monkey shit. The context was clear, I called him a ball bag, and instead of coming up with anything creative all he could come up with was monkey gags. Edited by Kalusha Bwalya

What trance?

Above and Beyond could fall into the Trance category, other than that i dont know any.

yeah above and beyond(100% are), i thought maybe alesso and ingrosso fell into it aswell, if they're not trance they deffo aint the kind of djs i personally would have on, just a bit too kind of chavy kind of djs…..if you know what i mean?

I did nothing but make out that he was upsetting me and allowing him to get his kick out of being an Internet bully. I baited him by saying it was racist, which it was a bit, but then he did the rest himself.

If only FIB released the rest of the fucking lineup we could talk about something else.

Yeah this is where the confusion lies. The meme was originally, and still mainly is now, focused on the monkey. Therefore it's not racist, it's just what the meme is. By posting it more than once, I'm assuming he was trying to get that point across. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/that-really-rustled-my-jimmies

If he'd posted it once I'd probably assumed 'yeah, he's picked it out because of the monkey, perhaps that's racist', but as he's posted it more than once I'm inclined to assume he knows the meaning of it.

Anyway, the situation has been dealt with now so that's all I'm saying on the matter.

I think with a few more decent bands this could be made a good line up and i don't even mean headliners. How big are we expecting these new bands to be? Because surely it wouldn't take them this long to book a few small spanish bands, or would it? I would like to think we might have a few acts maybe around the same size as tame impala to come yet

I still hope for some bands from super bock super rock Cults, The Kills, Pulled Apart by horses or C2C would be awesome.

would like to see The Horrors, Peace and around 5/6 more bands that sorta size and genre, think foster the people would be a class addition and would definitely make the line up look more appealing but think maybe they're just a bit too big

I might be being a bit naive here but has Foster the People had any other songs that have been anywhere near as popular as Pumped up kicks? I don't listen to radio, so I may have missed something but I kind of had them in the same boat as Gotye.

Someone already mentioned it a while back but the guy from Whitest Boy Alive, Erlend Øye is playing at Superbock. He plays in Norway quite a bit so I have seen him a few times and he puts on a really good show.

maybe not as big but songs just as good, they got 5 singles off their first album and each single did well. Their new album is really good as well so wouldn't put them in the same category as gotye who was a bit shit to begin with in my opinion. Foster put on a great live performance as well.

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
