Black and Blue 2013 @ Arsenal

Does anyone know what this venue is like? It looks pretty ghetto from Google street view but maybe the interior is nice.

Any news on lineups?

http://arsenalmontreal.com

probably the nicest place you can ever do an event in.

it's usually an art gallery.

they'll be 2 rooms.

line up tba soon.

Full line up to be announced September 3rd... stay tuned !!!

heard one name so far that's gonna make a lot of people very happy!

Of course, the BBCM continues to do its best at killing what was once a great event. We're talking 18,000 people in a single room at its peak.

Let's be honest, the current formula is not working and the attendance numbers have been plummeting from year to year. So the solution according to a press release in the spring was for the Black&Blue to go back to its roots. For the young ones, that meant partnering with NYC's Saint at Large and having a single house room.

Now, months later, they decide "to beat a dead horse" and they will have again 2 rooms: house and trance. Considering the capacity of the Arsenal is at most 4,000 people, that will mean 2,000 people per room. For such a "small" party, i might as well go to Circus or Stereo

Then with Markus Schulz at Stereo and Armin Van Buuren at New City Gas on the same night, why would anyone that likes trance bother with the B&B ?

How many cocks per square meter?

stereo is small, already sold out, no impact really. not different from other years.

every house fan will want to be at black & blue this year. i'm not worried.

we can hold up to 6000 people with the configuration we use but we are expecting minimum of 4000 peeps.

going back to its roots is more being less commercial. that was a fail.

and yeah some people might even sell their markus tickets the way the line up is shaping up in the trance room...

but hey same story every year, just copy paste your posts from last years...

i hope to be surprised, but it will take a lot to move my ass to B&B

don't expect carl cox sven vath and all though ... won't happen.

i was actually surprised of a few names on there, one in particular that you'd book only for quality music not to draw a huge crowd. So i think they heard you guys

24 sq/ft

from Guy J to Hernan to D Formation, Sasha and Digweed and David Seaman, the music has been great at Black and Blue but the name I heard should bring a lot of househeads back.

As for the trance room, if you guys can get the ppl who can't get Markus tickets and also get those who are coming from Armin at NCG and still want to party. then the other (probably smaller) room just may get filled too.

Plus there's a lot of people that like both house and 'trance'... 5000-6000 is a do-able number, even with NCG and Stereo in the fold. Montreal is still a house city and the booking I heard should appeal to a wide variety of househeads.

So is it Danny T?

whatever happened to Danny Torrence anyways?

i saw him a couple of times at Kanal Bar this summer. He still does his climaxxx night too at velvet i think now.

I actually like to write new posts, even if I seem to repeat myself... Now your (Fran666) posts seem to be a copy and paste of previous years. :P
Always the promise of an amazing lineup and then the big let down.
Last year seemed to be particularly bad, to the point many on the BBCM were ready to jump ship... Now does that inspire confidence on the event ?

P.S. I have to ask, with the legal capacity mentioned on this page, how will you manage to have a single room with 6000 capacity ?

I come up with 2900 people

where did i mention a single room of 6000 peeps.... we are using a different configuration than the art gallery. again you prove you know nothing.

you are just looking for reasons to bash this. anything i'll say you'll turn it around.

why ?

needs more cocks.

i went in 2011 and i had a great time
the venue was a lil downgrade from the other venue (palese de congres?)
but overall the music was great and the crowd was chill

i kinda like what they are doing. sometimes less is more
kinda starting fresh again
curious to see how the line-up shapes up

and yea i agree with other people, trance wise you will def take a hit from armin and markus
the house/prog/techno room will def be the place to be
