The Monday line up looks amazing.  I’ve never been to Printworks, only just discovered it existed recently and now I’m desperate to go before it closes.

Those who’ve been, what’s the crowd like?  Just wondering if I’ll feel out of place or not given that I’m in my 3rd decade of partying 😜

I'd say if your that desperate to get there you'll be disappointed if you do.  It doesn't have any kind of club feel to it, just a massive event space and everyone is obsessed with recording every bloody moment.  I won't miss it when it's gone tbh.

I’m in my mid 30s and I’ve been a few times in recent years. It’s quite a young crowd but it’s still pretty mixed. Yes there are lots of people on their phones but if you can ignore it then it’s definitely worth going. The production and sound is incredible. I’ll miss it when it’s gone.

I’m going on Sunday, never been and concerned I’ll get annoyed about all the phones 

 

Sorry, I was being a curmudgeonly old git about the phones. You’ll have an epic time.

You weren't, Twiggy, they're a scourge at raves.

I know I've said it before, but why can't we respect the space and other ravers in it with a voluntary, fully complied with camera sticker policy at all UK clubs, like in Germany? There's just no need to video, photograph and/or record stuff in a rave. I sometimes wonder if there would be a huge, negative impact on the numbers of people going to UK clubs if they couldn't stick it all up live on Insta...

Harrumph.

No indeed, but a I’m confident a good night will still be had 🙂

also I saw Volvox play one of the best sets I’ve seen in maybe 10yrs down in inkwells and not a single mofo was filming in there 🙂

I don’t mind people filming small clips from time to time. I don’t like people just watching the whole thing through their phone and from what I’ve seen of printworks this is the case

I once went to a football match where the lad sat in front of me was watching the match on Sky Sports on his iPad.

Don’t get me started on people who film penalties, free kicks and corners at the football just so they can film their reaction if there’s a goal

Pleased to hear this. Gutted I couldn't make it

Sorry you couldn't make it. I'd only seen FJAAK before yesterday out of all the names on the lineup.

Hector Oaks, Klock B2B DVS1 and Mills blew my mind! I managed to meet Fjaak whilst walking round the venue, I was absolutely buzzing 😅

Have you tried contacting the individual areas/stages directly via social media? Whilst not DJs, that's how my mates' band have got gigs in the past. 

Yes thanks, have been sending out a few feelers so will see if anything comes back 🙂 I think the smaller venues don't always have their own socials but have pinged a message to the bigger ones just in case! Gotta be in it to win it I guess haha

Ooh I think a lot of people on here will enjoy some quality electronica and techno Saturday night on the Lonely Hearts ♥️ 
 

Not saying any more as don’t want to get anyone in trouble… can’t wait for the poster release to be able to gush about it 🙂

Woah!

That's exciting! Other than WOW, there's not really much in SH for me late at night and it would be great to have options for different venues.

Will you be able to tell us more when the SH poster drops, as it's usually 'just' a wall of alphabetical names?! I'd be up for some good stuff at Lonely Hearts before heading to the SEC at 3am.

Exciting stuff - hopefully works to pull people from the SEC.

Able to confirm whether the saturday 15th SH poster rumour is true? a lot of people have said it now.

    • A question has crossed my (questionable) mind;   Has the size of the Green Fields remained the same as other areas have expanded / been added on to, since say, 2014 (the last time that I attended)? Are they 'lost' within, or well attended?    That's actually two questions. The second one just slipped in at the end by taking advantage of my lack of means to stop it.    
    • I'd say the same about Kylie.    Annie would be awesome, Duran not so much, and on the issue of them wanting a beanie slot, that probably rules out a fair few others who I think would fit the bill very well... and are legitimately more entitled to a headline, and/or too expensive.   Was just about to suggest Chaka Khan, but see @Gnomicide has beat me to it!    What about someone like Bryan Ferry?
    • It's certainly gone more that way, but then they went completely in the opposite direction and had Cat Stevens.
