-- Tiësto @ Antwerp is burning
Tiësto @ Antwerp is burning
yesterday tiesto was at antwerp is burning (www.antwerpisburning.be). And I must say, it turned out into a disaster. After 45' of really nice uplifting trance the police came into the tent and said the music must stop immediately, cuz it was too loud...
ofourse this can only happen in a country like belgium. I dont think we'll see him next year again.
Very dissapointing ofcourse, surely if you paid 25EUR for it.
nice1 antwerp...
/me ashamed for being belgian
sorry for bad english
that is so terrible, had anyone complained that it was too loud or something?
I would be so goddamn pissed if that had happend on an event I was on.
probably the police complained themselfes, cuz it was in an area were only few people live.
And yeah, i was really pissed, was looking forward to it for weeks and then you get something like that =\.
Some guys were even trashing some gates 'n stuff.
there were 2 hangars left which in the music kept playing. but only with stupid techno, so that wasnt really an altarnative...
ps: after tiesto Judge Jules and Yves Deruyter would have been played =\.
The authorities sound well out of order, I would expect cops to do this sort this across the Atlantic not in Europe, someone probably called the cops, its a pity. I would be very angry if I was there.
In Sweden our goverment has instated a taskforce called the "ravecommission" which has the nice task of interfering with parties, arresting people for drugabuse (no matter if they have drugs on them or in their system, if you are their then you are a junkie) and generally just trying to close down the swedish clubscene.
There has been some big headlines in Sweden about the ravecommission, about how they made 20 people wait in a cell for 6 hours, sitting on the floor without letting them use the bathroom.
Turns out, no one was under influence.
Theese things just makes me MAD.
those fucking antwerp police 
they have time to do that, but when a women was beaten to dead by her husband they didn't react at all
Fuck Leona Detiege and the Antwerp police
and the party was at an Island for god's sake
yeh, its sad when the authorities fuck it up, and the media...
Like in norway, when hyperstate is arranged, they dont report about the actual events (dj's / ppl having fun and so on).
They just report about the 5 ppl who has been charged for using drugs...
Sad? indeed

I was at Antwerp Is Suckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkking and trust me, I'm pissed off!
I did 300 km with my friend greggy to join this party (We're from the East of France! )
I came only to see Tiësto spinning and a little bit for Judge Jules and YDR too...
When I saw where the Trance area took place (in a funfaire tent), I was disappointed!
The sound system was shitty... Such conditions are inacceptable for DJs like Tiesto or Judge Jules!
Then, Tiesto played a wonderful set during about 45 minutes and the crow was mad!
I was just in front of Tiesto, he was so active in the DJ booth, he was smiling at his fans! All was going fine till fucking policemen came to ask him for being less noisy!! 
How can MAGIK MUSIK be played if the DJ can't hear tracks he is mixing ????!!!!!
Ppl were whisling! They decided to close the trance area and greggy & me decided to go to La rocca where "God" had to spin for 4 magikal hours! Entrance cost 15€ but if we didn't see him yesterday, we were going to commit suicide! 
Belgium won't see me party anymore for a long time... 
yeah another thing is e doesn't cause problems really in society, theres a drug death sometimes usually when someone over does it, or mixes it with other substances, but the sad part is the crack down on people that use E and Speed (anphetamines) and set up special task forces, when theres Crackheads and Herion addicts stealing and robbing people to fuel their addiction it really takes the piss.
Another thing to, imagine how many deaths drunks cause when they drink too much get into a fight and someone gets beaten to death, the town where I live we get about a murder usually once a month, or sometimes none for a month or two and then 3 people being murdered in a short space of time like two weeks, but out of these murders about 4 of them always involve a fight between people out in the town centre drinking, and fighting, its really sad deaths like this can be prevented drunken brawls can get broken up by the police, but their more bothered making respectable clubbers lives a complete misery I just don't get it.
Yeah When will they understand, Alcahol is evil (well...) but how much trouble to get off 50,000 people in a field taking a pill? Think about putting 50,000 drunk people in a field. What would happen then?
Yeah agreed on the alcohol vs pills thing...
Last New Years Eve I went to a massive dance party on Bondi Beach (that famous aussie beach in sydney) .. 20,000 people going off to Darren Emerson at midnight is quite something hehe 
But yeah, 20k people on pills is fine .. you walk around feeling safe and happy. But around 3am some drunk dickheads from pubs nearby started pushing the fences over and suddenly the party was full of drunk wankers looking to cause trouble. Man that sucked .. really ruined the vibe of the place
fucking gay, if that shit happened to me, i would be soo fuckign pist omfg
i feel sorry for you guys, bummer
It's a shame!
This sort of problem shouldn't exist for such an event !!
The set of Tiesto @ La Rocca made my night...

He'll come back in Belgium!
[...]What a great way to come back to my homecountry. After that gig I was really happy and full of energy and we went on to Kremlin in Amsterdam and after that to "Antwerp is burning" which is in Belgium.
A huge tent was built near the harbour of Antwerp and just after I started playing something horrible happened! The police came in and asked me to play not so loud, else they would stop the party. When they left I put up the volume again and I had a great time with the crowd which was amazing. The atmosphere inside that tent was so great, even better then Eindhoven which was really hard to beat. 45 minutes in my set the police came back. They said the license for that party was not to play louder then 80db after midnight. 80db?!?!, if all the people inside that tent were screaming (and they did this a lot!), it was already more then 80 db! The police told me to stop or I could go with them.. I did not have any choice, I had to stop playing. This was one of the biggest disappointments of my career. 5,000 people who were so happy and had such a great time, and then the stupid authorities had to spoil it for everybody. Also the promoters are to blame, having me almost arrested and not sorting out a good license. I was in the middle of my set and had to stop, it's like having the greatest night and suddenly you wake up. Oh, it was just a dream ending in something like a nightmare. I am very sorry for everybody who was in that party and I promise to come back soon and make up with all the people there. The party was about to grow to one of the best of my life and I want another chance to finish it the right way. After that I went to La Rocca in Lier, also in Belgium. I played a 3 hour set, the crowd was good and enabled me a little bit to lose my frustration over the party in Antwerp.
Belgium, I will be back soon to finish my dream...
..take care,
Tiësto
Well, Tiësto seems a bit dissapointed, but I can understand that... The reaction of the authorities is completely unbelievable, but if I didn't want to blame the organisation, it seems however that they are responsible for what happened... When you make such a party, the minimum you have to do is getting the authorizations to do it, and above all the authorizations to make some noise...
i thought this shit only happened in the US!!
at least Belgium is close to Holland.
Still disappointed by this party!
Here's my review : DJ Tiesto ROXXXXXXXXXX !
I cant comment about the media's biased, award seeking shock value special reports and whatnot in other countries, but in the US its pretty bad. Ive seen a few specials on shows like dateline and oprah, each one of them glorifying the fact that raves and clubs and electronic music are nothing more than big cesspools for drug use. They all had some ex-drugged out kids on the show talking about the dangers of letting your kids go to these events. Of course not ONE of them ever came close to discussing the people who enjoy the music and dont get all drugged up. And ive yet to see a special report thingy on alcohol and bars and whanot, or even something like spring break (but I think i saw a preview for one on spring break coming up some time soon, but I cant really remember), which Im sure probably has more dangers than raves.
Honestly, nothing really frosts me like stupid, people who feel the correct way to raise a kid is to sheild them from everything and send them off into adulthood ignorant and uninformed.
Ok, enough ranting
