Why can the Tivoli have nights like Kenny Dope, Joey Negro, Tony Humphries, Ricardo Villalobos or any of the nights put on by Plug, Electric City or Remedy and have no problems at all but put on a Trance night and you have killings.
Look maybe its a combination of a few things (Venue + DJ + promoter). Tripod as you mentioned rarely has any problems but they have and always have had a pretty strict door policy. I did say in my first post that security is probably partly to blame but you have to admit that these things happen more often at Trance nights. Im not putting it down as a genre or saying everyone that listens to it is scum just that it does bring a certain element with it.
I didn't mean to sound so harsh, I'm sorry. You just said it was the DJ that draws the bad crowd, so I was highlighting it's not really because many Markus gigs over here and elsewhere don't attract that bad crowd. What you mean is it's the genre? Because I agree that Trance does seem to have way more incidents that any other genre that I've been to an event for
Hard Trance (e.g. Lisa Lashes, Tidy Boys) does definitely bring in that scum element, it's a shame really because I don't do the drugs thing, nor the scum thing. I'm just a normal joe who likes this type of music and then my night goes and gets ruined by this sort of carry on by complete muppets!
Markus will be back at some stage, I'm sure he understands (like Ferry) that this wasn't the fault of any of his real fans, just the minority as per usual!i can't see planetlove or letrik doing another gig in the tivoli either, too much bad publicity, a mate of mine(female) was bottled in there in saturday night
Jaysus, sorry to hear that. Hope she's all right, as well as the dude who got stabbed and anybody else caught up in the crossfire of the hooligans. I really think for gigs like Markus, Armin, PvD you need somewhere strict like Tripod or even The Vaults because thats what it takes. MOS is incredibly strict, you get patted down, complete bag checks and have to pass through metal detectors before getting into the place. There's easily 10 blokes on security OUTSIDE the venue, never mind inside. Show up in a tracksuit? Haha, you must be joking :P0 -

Schulz's Blog:
"After a little bit of sleep and recovery, Saturday morning was spent getting my mind set for a Valentine's Day in Dublin. My flight was delayed by a couple of hours due to the snow, but I managed to get checked in early evening and began working on some edits for the night, in between reading all the Valentine's e-cards I received. I met up with a few friends and sympathised with the lack of Valentine's attention they received on the day.
We headed to Tivoli in good time, to catch the tail end of resident John Gibbons’ set. He was throwing down some cool groovy tunes, and the crowd were pretty boisterous already. I have said many times in the past, that I love playing in Ireland because of the passion of the crowd, but unfortunately, there were a few moments on Saturday night when a couple of individuals overstepped the mark. Without going into specific details, the gig was forced to end slightly early due to the intervention of the police, and security being unable to handle the volume of trouble caused by certain people. I really didn’t want to have to end the set, and despite asking if I could continue playing, I was advised to leave the stage for my own safety.
My overriding feeling was nothing but disappointment. I know that some of you have commented on the message boards saying that you could see the look of unhappiness on my face towards the end of the night, and I do apologise for that. But there is something I want to make very clear to everyone who attended the club on Saturday night.
I feel so incredibly sorry for everyone who had travelled the length of the country to come to Dublin, including a few people from my forums who I had hoped to meet after the set had finished but couldn't. It is just so sad that a small portion of people, who probably had no interest in being there for the music, has tarnished the reputation of the promoters and 99% of the Irish clubbers. I want to assure you all that Saturday night was not the last time I will play in Ireland. I love and appreciate your support, how passionate you are for the music and faith you continually show in me, and I promise you, I will be back. The bottom line is, if we give in to the mindless idiots who spoil the night for everyone, we are the ones who ultimately lose out. My job is to go out there and entertain, but at the same time, it has to be fun and safe for both the fans and myself.
I am due to play at the Planetlove Summer Session festival at Fairyhouse in June, and despite the incidents of Saturday, I will be immensely looking forward to it."
Honest and true , just the way I like it
