Just wondering if there is anyone here going should be a good two days?

Mr Rivers · 14-07-2006 08:25AM

I'd go if it weren't in Ireland, you're gonna get a terrible crowd and atmosphere at it

tman · 14-07-2006 08:39AM

i'll be going for the laugh, my flatmate and a few of her mates are going so i might as well join in.

Mullingars loss will be the rest of the countries gain.

DubNside · 14-07-2006 09:52AM

Yeap should be pretty good, all the biggest names will be there!

Surrender · 14-07-2006 09:58AM

Don't know about the crowd, could be a serious scumbag element

Sure what harm everyone will be off there heads everything will be ok at it id say!

If you seen me you might call me a scumbag but im not really

SpAcEd OuT · 14-07-2006 12:33PM

I wanted to go, but after seeing how MCD handled oxegen security wise I honestly don't believe they will be able to handle the crowd that will be attending Hi-Fi and I don't want to be there when that happens

frankyk · 14-07-2006 12:37PM

all the names???....its gonna b pants...leftover scum element from oxygen im sure will be there in force - names like P Okenfold ect just brings every knacker out from under their stone - only thing positive about HI-FI is the venue - right on the lake sure will be interesting

Slinky> · 14-07-2006 12:37PM

Id like to go but I am a little bit concerned about the bad element, I didnt see anything bad at all at oxegen, In fact the opposite some random guy helped me carry my stuff when I was going in, no one touched our tent all weekend and our neighbours were great, Everyone we met when very friendly including security and stewards

But I did read some horror stories.

frankyk · 14-07-2006 12:40PM

yeah there was some bad SH*T last weekend allright and I saw some of the security staff use a little excessive force 2 say the least - u just cant have that - I agree crowd will be toughter so my advice - stay clear!!

bigpoppa · 14-07-2006 03:30PM

I am going, esp to see Prodigy, looks like a good line up to me.

I wouldnt let the fact that there might be some knackers at it put you off. Large groups of people will always include knackers.

This whole oxegen thing (overblown hype) is bull**** you all need to calm the **** down.

Scared to go to gigs, whatever next scared to go into Dublin City? You should all move to the Aran Islands and barricade yourselves in.

Redegg · 14-07-2006 03:58PM

poor poor razorlight.. why did they say 'yes'... why..

words of wisdom?

Xavi6 · 14-07-2006 06:27PM

should be a good buzz down there.id say there will some scummers there and definitely pill pushers but sure go to the dance tent at oxegen and u get that. looks like itd be good craic and the weather should be better than oxegen!!

Hello Kitty · 16-07-2006 11:23AM

Hay, I was just wondering if anyone has any info on this? I really want to go but with the storys i hear im not sure... anyone have any idea of what itll be like, also i was thinking of driving down but not sure if itll be safe to leave my car there:(
any info would be helpfull. thanks

ghostdancer · 16-07-2006 01:06PM

i would go, only:

it has the most predictable, pathetic lineup of djs in the history of "dance" music. tiesto, oakenfold, judge ****ing jules, i still have a hard time believing anyone other than 15 year old scummers actually think those type of djs are good.

which leads me on to, the scum factor, anyone who doesn't think it's gonna be choc-a-bloc full of ben sherman jumper, burberry cap wearing knack bags is deluded. robbings and fights a plenty. it'll be like godskitchen, except about 10 times worse and 4 times as long.

the bands are pretty ****e, seen most of them before and not worth paying to see again.

MCD copping the **** on and putting on a decently organised festival isn't gonna happen any time soon.

SpAcEd OuT · 16-07-2006 01:18PM

The only reason i'd go would be for The Prodigy, I have no problem with knackers, I can handle myself grand but I just don't want to be attending a festival with fights every few minutes and fearing my tent getting robbed whenever I leave the campsite because MCD can't get some decent security sorted, Take the scum running riot at oxegen, increase it by 10s of thousands and you'll get an idea of what Hi-Fi will be like

of course this problem could be countered by MCD dishing out for some proper security but this is never going to happen

Táck · 17-07-2006 09:43AM

i'm honestly trying to weigh up the options. its gonna be full of scum for 32 counties in ireland, merged together into the one area. someone said "ah sure they'll be all mad ouvit spreading the love" this might have ben true a few years ago but open your eyes people. they'll all be mad ouvit on whatever drugs they can possibly get their hands on. with coke obviously being top of their list.

a gig, with a load of scumbag teens, trying to impress "me julie's" on cocaine...good gig my arse.

its belvedere house i feel sorry for.

think of it this way, with so many scummer grouped together in the one place, one the one weekend, the streets will be safe!

Clum · 17-07-2006 02:41PM

Was there any trouble at Global Gathering in Cork last year?

This event is being presented by the same group and has many of the same dance acts as last years gig.

Superman · 17-07-2006 02:51PM

well iuve talked to a good few people goin and they are all sayin they hope it won't ber full off mad-out-of-its, so i's say it will be grand cause alot of people are gfoin for the laf and tunage.
I'm goin and I can't wait!

Giruilla · 17-07-2006 03:03PM

At least mcd don't organise it!

SpAcEd OuT · 17-07-2006 03:18PM

I thought they did in fact thats the main reason I am not going

tman · 17-07-2006 06:42PM

i would imagine that the godskitchen group are organising it, but could be wrong there...

ghostdancer · 17-07-2006 07:00PM

no, mcd are most certainly the promoters and organisers. godskitchen only pick the lineup afaik, which is pretty evident by the patheticly **** lineup of predictable braindead generic music they've chosen as usual.

l3LoWnA · 20-07-2006 04:14PM

Well me & a group of friends are going! And cannot wait either!

If you don't WANT or LOOK for trouble you won't SEE or get involved in it! Inevitably, there WILL be a few scraps here & there as there would be at ANY event of its sort and scale in any country!

I was @ global gathering last year and didn't see any trouble whatsoever or hear of anything bad happening.....few tents burned in the morning and the usual but people were burning their own!! Happens @ every festival I'd imagine!

If you leave anything valuable in your tent OBVIOUSLY there's a chance it might go missing (same @ oxegen or ANYwhere) - there can't be a security person standing watching every tent @ every single moment of the day AND night when there are thousands of tents.

Yes, there will be a "scummer" element but jus' stick with your own crowd and enjoy yourself and they should (and usually do!!!) do the same!

If you're not going, for whatever your reasons are...... if you're afraid you'll get the head kicked off ya or you're a snob when it comes to your music and so obsessed with music and genres and sh*te like that, coz you're so darn ugly you need to obsess about SOMEthing in your life then sh*t the f*ck up about it and mind your own business coz it OBVIOUSLY shouldn't bother you!

If you are going, see you there
