You clearly dont get the point. During this week, us in the US want to see people who dont come often. Trance keeps repeating itself with artists even during that week. Its a shame. And within that week, the artists repeat so its nothing new. Would love for ASOT to have exclusive artists only, that way other trance events have their own artists come out. And would love ASOT, since it will have a pull no matter what, to use that opportunity to bring new talent to the states that does not show up often.But if you are always happy seeing the same djs over and over and over, have fun. Just saying this is the only chance you can bring lesser known acts and still sell out.

that would be the dumbest thing ever. you have a smaller artist who has no exposure here come all the way over and play one event with 50 billion other artists? they might as well not come at all than something like that.

Exactly the point though. That way as fans we can see them at Ultra and see OTHER artists who are bigger booked for the other events. Last year sucked for trance. All of them played the exact same events for the most part every day. Therefore, turnout was a disaster and in turn HURT trance even more. With exclusive acts, there is larger pull for people to see them since there is one chance to see them.

did you not see the trance events last year? they barely had anyone there. the other trance events will get dick in attendance again this year if they dont get those asot500 artists. if you dont want to see the same artists each night, you dont have to. but if those trance events dont get special artists, no one is going to go to them just like last year.

Which is why i am saying the opposite scenario. ASOT needs to book NON BIG NAME artists, and therefore have the other usual artists be the big names for other events. I dont want an ASOT with cosmic gate and oakenfold. Have them be the trance at other events. Rather, this is the chance for ASOT to bring the less known artists, and therefore free up the bigger names for other trance events - therefore we as fans have more of trance. The smaller names we all want to see at a guarantee show (ASOT/Ultra) and then the bigger names as headliners to draw crowds for the other events.

i would love for asot to actually bring the non big name artist but i just have a bad feeling the line up is going to be the normal artist were all used to and if so i will probably not attend ultra...but i need to get plane tix soon so line up better come out soon

Pretty sure he wont be traveling with the same people. Each party @ ASOT 450 had different artists. Even the 2 nights in NY had no repeat artists. The only repeat artist is Armin.

ultra phase 1 line up is out and of course nothing at all about asot 500 it would be real nice to hear some news on this event

I'm starting to get the feeling he's gonna be doing a seperate event.
Doesnt make sense for Ultra to hold off the ASOT 500 announcment because many people (including myself) purchased Ultra tickets "assuming" ASOT 500 would be there.

With him out of Phase 1, people who havent gotten Ultra tickets would hold off until more details are out.

Did he not say it was gonna be in a tent this year? (Ultra)

Initially that what was said. So who knows!

He did think about having it the week of WMC for a brief moment, so I'm not sure how solid the Ultra-ASOT union is now.

plz change ASOT 500 to san francisco. *crossing fingers*

ASOT if not at Ultra better be a large venue - not small small shit club - most miami clubs haha.

A ASOT takeover of Space on like the Thurs-Sunday would be sick

Space is really the only venue club wise i see this happening at. Nocturnal, Karu and Y are not that great for production aspects. Mansion and Cameo isnt really set up for something like this either. Sadly though, i still think its at ultra with a phase 2 announcement. Boo.

i thought it was pretty good for anjuna beats last year, as well as for ferry corsten

i think ice palace would be a perfect venue also 2 big rooms, outdoor area

Agreed. I love Ice Palace as a venue with the indoor/outdoor areas.

I guess I am glad I didn't pull the trigger yet on the Ultra ticket (or anything related to the trip yet), though I wonder if they would sell out soon if I wait any longer & Armin simply will be there. If the 26th of March in Miami is certain for ASoT 500, I wonder where else could it hypothetically be held at.

arminvanbuuren Armin van Buuren (TWITTER):
Yup! #ASOT500 is happening for sure. More news soon... RT @marknosweat: @arminvanbuuren are you going to the #wmc2011? And which day?


Why would armin say "Yup! #ASOT500 is happening for sure" when the original tweeter asked about WMC?!? arrgg.. yet again, MORE confusion...

Because he's an idiot and does not know the difference between WMC and Ultra weeks
