It's a big EDM festival in a country that is currently milking EDM for as much money as humanly possible, and you're hoping that it's not going to be packed to the gills with massive douchebags?

SUCH A TRAVESTY. THIS EVENT, BY THE NAME OF TOMORROWLAND, HAS BROUGHT MANY EURO SMILES AND SWOONS THROUGHOUT THE AGES THAT IT HAS BEEN HERE, ON THIS PLANET THAT WE SHARE TOGETHER, UNITED AS ONE. AND TO THINK, THAT THIS EVENT, WHICH HAS BEEN FOREVER ETCHED INTO THE TITANIUM PLATING OF TIME AND TRANCE, WILL BE COMING TO SUCH A DUSTBIN AS ATLANTA. HEAVEN FORBID, AND DON'T FALL DOWN. I DON'T THINK THERE IS A WAY TO SAVE OUR GRACE FROM HEAVEN'S COLLAPSE. WILL THEY EVEN PLAY DJ JEAN - THE LAUNCH? I FAINT AT THE THOUGHT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I HAD NOT PROPERLY PLANNED FOR. I HOPE I AM ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE AFTERMATH. AFTER YOU PESKY SOUTHERNERS HAVE WIPED OFF THE AMALGAMATION OF CONSCIOUSNESSS EXPANDING POWDERS FROM YOUR GLOWSTICK STAINED TONGUES.

So the location has been announced Chattahoochee Hills, GA

What do the locals think??

I for one am gleefully anticipating an extraordinary event.. I can't wait to dance, meet new people and listen to bomb ass music in a such a festive atmosphere..

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!? $347 for three days? Seriously? Baaaaahahahahaha. Anybody that goes to this is wasting money. Bonnaroo only costs $269 for four days, EDC is only $289 for three days, DEMF/Movement is $69 for three days, and (the best deal given the variety of showcases/artists) Decibel Festival is $236 after fees for FIVE days. Given that the lineup is supposed to be similar to their Belgium edition this year, I can't help but laugh at anybody who wastes their money on this instead of saving their money while getting a much better musical experience (EDC excluded).

These dates coincide with the rumored Daft Punk tour and Album Release date.. Just saying.. What if they were on the flyer..

Doesn't change my opinion. I've seen them live and the show was only OK, and I've always found their music to be decent, but terribly overrated. Not to mention that a quick Google will point entirely to rumors speaking to the contrary - a tour at this point is unlikely, and iffy at best. Regardless, even if they were there, there would still be no way that you would be able to justify that ticket price. You're still a fool for blowing that much money when you could spend less and get a better value.

I think Daft Punk on any flyer would change someone's opinion. Personally, I'd pay what they're asking now, just to see Daft Punk..

The length and breakdown of Daft Punk�fs new album looks to have been revealed after record label Sony registered 13 new songs in the electronic duo�fs name.

The track info was registered on music rights agency PPL and screen-grabbed by Twitter account @edm where it then received a burst of retweets.

The songs range from a slight track 4 (3:48) to an epic track 3 (9:04), with the combined length of all 13 suggesting the album will run for 74 minutes and 40 seconds. That�fs a lot of funk-tinged electro!

Daft Punk are rumored to be releasing their fourth album in May, which follows 1997��s Homework, 2001��s Discovery and 2005��s Human After All.

Hey, it's your money, spend it however you want.

TomorrowWorld, Chattahoochee Hills, GA, September 27th-29th 2013

The other thread, it seems, was deleted because a couple of people weren't fans of the lineup and that upset some people. Feel free to discuss the event in this thread, whether you love it or hate it. All opinions welcome, and I hope everybody from the area has a blast whether or not the festival is their thing and whether or not they choose to go. We don't all have to agree on something, but at least we can respect each others opinions.

I live in Atlanta, so this event is in my backyard so you can imagine my excitement. I however had never taken the leap of faith to purchase tickets to something without a lineup before. I know this is a trend now, but it's just not a practice I have ever participated in until this event launched in my hometown.

I based my decision on the world wide craze that is Tomorrow Land, and hope I'm not let down. There needs to be a techno stage, preferably one hosted by Carl Cox. I cannot handle three days of trouse and trap.

My fingers are crossed for a diverse lineup like Belguim, otherwise my tickets are being sold.

What I find crazy is the event still isn't sold out. The world wide launch was an utter failure. Plenty of tickets still out there for sale on their website.

I guess he wasn't butthurt like I said, huh?

Oh wait, totally butthurt since he deleted the damn thread.

That's not the point of this thread.

What's so crazy about that? Not only is dance music still not as big in the US as it is in Europe, but it's even significantly less popular in Atlanta than it is in, say, Miami/LA/NYC. Atlanta also isn't too touristy of a city, so people usually don't think of it as a spot they'd like to go on vacation.

One issue could be the saturation of festivals. I mean look at how many festivals are going on in the next few months in the US alone:

EDC NY (May 17th and 18th), EDC Chicago (May 24th, 25th, and 26th), EDC Las Vegas (June 21st, 22nd, and 23rd), Wavefront Music Festival (July 5th 6th, and 7th), EZOO (Aug. 30th, 31st, and Sept. 1), TommorowWorld (Sept. 27th, 28th, and 29th), and EDC Orlando (Nov. 8th and 9th). Not to mention some of the smaller ones spattered here and there.

Another issue in my opinion is that they set the age limit as 21+ and yet they are booking these awful dj's to play there. I know there are some 21+ who enjoy that music but you are really cutting out your key demographic by not allowing at least 18+ to come to the festival. I mean you are booking the pop edm artists and not allowing the youngins to come? Not smart at all.

The age group they have closed in on (21+) is not the demographic that is willing to spend that much money on a ticket for trap, trouse, electro garbage. I was hyped up for this event but its been weeks and so far Jamie Jones is the only name on the list that doesn't make me puke.

I think the 21+ with a lineup targeted at the 18-21 age group is a definite mismatch. I'm sure festival saturation has a lot to do with it too, the US is flooded with generic shitfests this summer, all with the same electro/dub/trap lineups, and so far this is nothing different.

Honestly, Live Nation has played every single card wrong through to this point. Maybe we'll see it move else where next year, something like upstate New York if they want to keep the same geography, because ATL was a terrible choice from day one. Then maybe drop it to 18+. Still a lot of time to turn it around, but I don't have much faith in Live Nation.

This is the big issue at hand. Obviously they would have wanted it 18up or even all ages. I have a feeling either liquor sales or liquor being allowed in the camp grounds had something to do with this. But either way 21 up and the lineup they announced is a horrible idea.

I agree 100% with this. I will say if TW wants to pull this potential debacle out, they are going to need to cater to the 21+ crowd. I know many people that are waiting for the lineup before committing to buying tickets.

Like I've said I'm sure I'm coming off as a hater but if they had just released some underground along with the cheese I probably would have bought my tickets right off the bat. I've made other plans now so I won't be going to this either way. I'm just ticked that they decided to only release the pop artists so far.

youre not coming off as a hater there, its correct. a lot of people have their doubts with TomorrowWorld now.

sending you a PM regarding the drama in the last thread.

TW just sent me an email explaining

"Are you ready to write history at our second home? Join new Friends from over 65 countries who've secured their entry to TomorrowWorld! Following the incredible first wave of artists, prepare yourself for the second wave in June when more than 100 new artists and stages will be unveiled."


June? Really? This is going to hurt them in a serious way. Not everyone has the ability to travel to every festival, they have to choose, and plan accordingly.

This stall technique will hurt thier attendance & have EDC, and EZ have greater success.

I think it's time to bail on my tickets.

That's actually a fairly common practice among most major festivals.

It's only common because people are lemmings, and we allow this to happen as consumers.

I feel SHAME for buying into this hype machine. Shame on me, I know better.

For the larger festivals, that is certainly part of the problem. For smaller festivals such as Mutek, Communikey, Decibel, etc., (and even the larger festivals in many cases) a big reason for spaced-out announcements is because it is very, very difficult to finalize contracts for all of the artists involved by a specific time.

True, and even when they have a contract the artist still all fight over flyer placement, timeslots, and stages.

This isn't the case with TomorrowWorld though. I am pretty sure most of their lineup is booked and they are failing to make a good decision again.
