    Were they pissed over the price of the pint

    Too expensive to get pissed so no, no they weren't pissed.

    Sigh... You weren't going to be attracting the same demographic as a Pavarotti concert now were they?

    I live up at the O2.

    Witnessed one guy taking a full dump, oblivious to everyone around him.
    About a dozen lads pissing all over the place.
    One girl being advised to hide the naggin against her *use your imagination*

    The luas was something else on the way up.
    A big bunch of lads doing the Yaya Toure/ Kolo Toure dance.

    Similar to this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6ta37kgSBo

    Whilst i'm sure it pissed off a lot of people on the luas it was as funny as hell.

    Unacceptable…in the 80s.

    I remember when Calvin Harris made 'fun' dance music, not the scumbag attracting crap he makes almost exclusively now.

    As for Tiesto…well, he lost respectability a solid ten years ago now!

    finally copped on why people were going crazy outside at 6pm, the crowds coming back from the o2 are still slowly and loudly making their way along the luas line :(

    I don't think that's necessarily fair to everyone there, I bet you there were probably just as many of the Roysch and 'my daddy works at KPMG' types down there getting hammered and causing trouble, and whatever stereotypes you want to create an image of. People going to these gigs don't go because they appreciate the music in any particular sense, they want a loud and fast show, go mental to their favourite anthems and they want to celebrate in a big group. They'll have heard the tunes in the nightclub so will equate that party atmosphere. Let's not do the whole 'scumbag' rant Boards seems to be so obsessed with.

    Without sounding like a grumpy old man at the age of 25, wasn't there quite the bit of trouble at Swedish House Mafia either this summer or last, including a couple of stabbings?

    Similar genre of music. Similar type of crowd. I think it's more than just a coincidence

    Yep. That whole album was deadly. Just Be, A Tear in the Open, Love Comes Again…he has done pretty much nothing since apart from become a scrote magnet.

    Certainly will! I was a massive Tiesto fan back around 98-04, and I hate the way he turned his back on respectability, unlike the likes of his peers Armin and Ferry Corsten.

    Drunk young people is the similarity, and where they are, there will be some ructions and stupidity.

    I was once at a gig, first one too if I remember correctly, I was holding a pint for a friend while they went toilet when this scottish one comes up to me, and goes " Give us that pint, and I'll give you a blowjob".

    If there were ten of us together when I was a teen there was usually ructions. If you'd let a few thousand of us gather together we'd have wrecked the gaff. Does every new generation kid themselves that being a rowdy teen is a whole new and shocking thing?

    There was a riot at the premier of Handels Messiah. Its not the music, its the people. Some people are just arse holes.

    But you never hear of much trouble at any other concerts like you do these ones. Sure remember last year the amount of crap that happened at SHM. This type of music always seems to attract the wrong crowds.
