Finally, Ultra Music Festival organizers have released "phase 1" of the line-up for UMF 10, (thanks to user LuisSleepyHead for blogging about it). My verdict: ehhh. I'm sorry but for a festival celebrating 10 years of existence, blow me the fuck away. Here is the line-up so far:
Day 1
Tiesto, Carl Cox, Justice, Rabbit in the Moon, Danny Tenaglia, Richie Hawtin, Steve Lawler, BT, Josh Wink, James Zabiela, M.A.N.D.Y., Erol Alkan, Boys Noize, Dirty South, Deadmau5, Annie Mac, Jackal + Hyde, Monk, Keven and Audiofly.
Day 2
Paul Van Dyk, Carl Cox, Armin Van Buuren, Sasha + John Digweed, David Guetta, Benny Benassi, DJ Dan & Donald Glaude, Layo + Bushwacka, Fedde Le Grande, Andy C + MC GQ, Planet of the Drums, Goldie, Dillinja + Lemon D, Fabio, Shy FX, Ed Rush + Optical, DJ Fresh + MC Ivory, Photek, Adam F and Francesco Rossi.
Where is the surprise act that no one would have though organizers would book, like the Cure last year or the Killers the year before that? Where are the new and exciting up-and-comers? And why do the acts almost look identical to last year's line-up? And what happened to making Day 1 more dance-rock oriented and Day 2 the more traditional Ultra everyone knows and loves? And why do Ultra organizers insist on not offering separate tickets for each day? Why? Why? Why?
I know this is only the first batch of acts to be announced, you don't have to point that out to me. But with tickets already a staggering $129 plus fees, by the time the heavy duty acts are announced you are going to have to get a second mortgage if you want to attend. And yes, I'm not a complete bitch, there are some people listed there I'd like to catch, primarily Justice, M.A.N.D.Y., Erol Alkan and Boys Noize.
i don't think last year's day one was supposed to be more dance-rock-oriented. that's when tiesto headlined! i think it just maybe seemed that way because of the cure's headlining set, and because the whole evening was shorter.
the next day was totally wretched though mainly because of the weather, so, hope it doesn't rain this year.
Justice, Erol Alkan and Boys Noize are fucking phenomenal live.
My real issue with the lineup thus far is the lack of a an upper-tier electronic live act. I don't even need a The Killers or The Cure - I just want a Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Prodigy, 2ManyDjs type act.
:)
Eh, I might want to go...but like you said, Duran, you probably have to take out a mortgage to even get a ticket for the first day, let alone the second. (Myself, I'd try to go the first day because I like more of the acts on the first day than the second.)
But Boys Noize set last year was seriously the best one of the bunch.
You say that like is a bad thing. Hell for the moment one those tired old bands would help this line-up well beyond belief. The line-up so far is pretty weak for what strings Ultra Music Festival can pull. But that is just from someone who has been to music festivals that blow Ultra out of the water.
i agree junkie xl show's were great and bad boy bill...
i remember they were always like late afternoon
Friday isn't THAT bad! Boys Noize WOOT WOOT!
It would also be nice if the locals who throw the underground dirty techno shit on the beach could have a tent out there, not the mash-up bs that you here at pawnshop and what not but the real shit. I don't know... kids like the sobebeats kids and fesp as well as the boys that throw down at blue and laundry bar. Also I really think florida locals should get a bit of a discount I mean damn the tix are $99 at first so why not leave them at $99 for fla residents you know...disney style. After all most of the locals don't even goto Ultra anymore since there are so many jug head guidos from ct. and ny out there, not to mention the number of free parties to attend. -sorry if I offened any ginnys in my comment... say ehhh and have a drink and put more grease in your hair. hahahhahahaha sorry.
The show is 99 bucks, because the promters know that a bunch of dummies with bad taste and money are willing to pay for this circus. This is no longer "underground" people...this is music for the brainless masses.
Have fun boys and girls
Hey Le Haine, you lost all credibility when you say "him" when you mentioned Justice, twice. whatta dumb phuck
I'm not offended but I have been lead to believe it is a pretty damn offensive term on the level of our most revered slurs.
Here's what Urban Dictionary says: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=guinea
Ohh gee Pico...I lost my credibility with another Miami zombie...you called me out...what am I to do? What are the consequences? Am I going to get lynched by a bunch of skinny dudes with bad haircuts? Go choke on yer $300 hoodie, you buzz clip. As if I care about messing up in the semantics of them and him...two smelly french guys still equals overated poop.
