MGMT are not playing ILT, the klaxons played last year and it was a disaster. there is a post about ILT under the clubbing section

line ups pretty sh*t for a so called techno festival, theres more french house/electro house nonsense on it then techno, they should really look into a name change at this stage, the only acts im looking forward to are marcel dettman and rob hood

eamonhonda

i agree that the 'techno' name may be off but that line up is amazing id do anything to be there!!!!! but seemingly electro is a subgenre of techno and not house. but i dont care about subgenres that line up is unbelievable in my eyes!!!

nah_biy!

Haven't been over there in a few years, as the gig has now become known as "I Love everything except Techno". Saw Collabs play a 3 hour live set then - unbelievable. It's not like that any more unfortunately.

I'm going to keep my money and go to WMC in Miami in March, seeing as you asked! Slightly more enjoyable than a big shed in Belgium.

Oh, a tip for you, beware of the pickpockets in Gent. Thieving ****s

hes right though, the line up for ILT the last 3 years have been atrocious compared to previous events, its not a techno event anymore, its a bit of a rave up alright but not a techno event, sure they only gave rob hood a 1 hour set at 5am this year, any techno event worth its salt would of given someone like hood a 2/3 hour set at peak times.

super ted rules

Will swap two left ears for tickets or financial remuneration.

Flynn Dog is right, i mean it s not like a surprise party called I Love Techno where you discover the line up when you get there. They announce the line up, you read it, if you like it you go, if not you don't! :rolleyes:

I know it s called I Love Techno but this event is going on since 1995 so they kept the name but as the music is evolving and changing so do the line ups.
There are so many different kind of electronic music at present, so i think it s nice to hold an event where you will find la creme of each scene.

brianc27

i dissagree, its supposed to be a techno event and such should have an all techno line up, they really should look into a name change at this stage, they are making a mockery of themselves trying to fob it off as a techno event these days.

there is an unbelievable about of ****e at it this year

nah_biy!

being honest the electro fellas play quite techno orientated sets there. I remember in 2006 thinking dodgy enough line up but the electro lads were possibly the best of it all.

I do agree its techno in name only.

brianc27

theres no electro on the i love techno line up

electro house is not electro, they sound nothing alike

projectmayhem

I think the radio soulwaxmas thing looks a little better this year. It's being held in Berlin afaik...

Rob Hood, Magda, Hawtin, Dave Clarke all under one roof is hardly "wack". Broadly its not the best, but its also fashionable to dislike ilt these days ....

brianc27

rob hood is only playing an hour at the end (fcuking laughable that), dave clarke plays every year and lets be honest hes not what he used to be, its not fashionable to dislike ILT these days, people are starting to dislike it because the line ups have been sh*te the last 2/3 years, any event that books the likes of Tocodisco deserves a good pasting

Haven't been in 5 or 6 years myself, and it's gone a lot more commercial than it was back then. Expect to pay Ibiza prices for entrance fees to clubs and drinks etc. Saying that though, it was the best week of my life. Ultra is good alright - one of the stages is set in a big valley, saw Underworld (minus Emerson) there and they were great. Clubs like Opium Garden and Nerve were good too.

You can get flights with Aer Lingus to Orlando for around €360 return which isn't bad. If you are thinking of going, book accomodation early, as places get booked very quickly when the dates are announced.

Getting back on topic, ILT is a good festival, I went 2 years in a row and had good craic both times, but as others have said the lineups over the last couple of years haven't been up to scratch. This years' is better, but there are better festivals out there.
