It's official!!! I checked out PVD's website and went to his list of upcoming gigs. He will be spinning @ GIANT VILLIAGE 2003, which is a 21+ event. It will be an open block party, located in the heart of downtown LA.

Hands down, I am definitely going. It should be a great New Year's Party, if not the best ever.

Anyone else going???

AFter wat happened last year.. i dont think so. Last year PvD and Sasha were scheduled to play... Sasha played 4 hours... PvD got in late and played 45 min. Very whack. I payed 65 bux and sat thru 4 hrs of boring prog to get only 45 min of PvD. If its a guaranteed 3 hr set then maybe ill go. 2 hrs would even be good. But if its gonna be anything like last year.. im not going. PvD is scheduled to play in San Francisco that same night and so im not sure. I know there will be delays gettin him from SF to LA.

F*** RIP out giant promoter probably going to do the
same thing year

you will pay $70 and $55 more for the afterparty!
i hate the way they do things so secret,
never announce the exact time or location til the last minute

This year's Giant NYE Party lineup will be amazing, so far only 3 headlining DJs have been officially announced with several more still in the works! So far, confirmed bookings of:

PvD
Danny Howells!!!
Luke Fair

This night is gonna be insane, just as last year's NYE was!!!! In regards to why PvD only spun for an hour and a half last year, his flight into LA was seriously delayed. Sasha was told of the situation and continued to spin, and he spun an amazing 4 hour set!! I'm guessing most ppl on this board are trance fans and not necessarily prog fans, but Sasha was phenominal! I'm hoping PvD will not have the same airline troubles this year, and expect him to close out the night @ Giant NYE. Also, expect a 2-3 hour set from PvD as well.

Giant NYE is definitely going to be the place to be in LA this year, again! Spundae has still not announced their lineup, but unless it's Diggers & Lawler, I'm definitely going to Giant!!

for more info, go to www.giantclub.com

See you all on NYE!!!!!!!!!!

I heard rumors that Tall Paul will be there.

THIS IS GOING TO BE SICK!!!!!!!!!!

forget giant.. i hate their events. And i must say... after having gone to new york and boston to go see pvd this past weekend im even more dissappointed by the crowd in LA. Its really different on the East Coast. Looking at Giant's lineup each DJ is gonna spin very short sets and that doesnt do the DJs justice. More than likely im gonna celebrate New Year's early and go to miami to see PvD spin at Space on dec 27th. 4 hr set. woohoo!! No way im gonna pay 65 bux to see PvD spin for just 1 hr. Giant.. bleh!

wushuboy, if you like the east coast better, then why are you living out here in LA? Besides, you never know what will happen. PVD might spin for 2 hours. I never saw him spin anyways, so it'll be a great experience for me. Lates.

sebby... LA is a good place to live.. not a good place to party. Simple as that. If you to the parties here that feature trance djs you get all these drugged out asian thugs, old fobs, and worst of all ppl who dont know the music. Every time i've seen armin, ferry, or pvd in LA, the crowd sucks ass. Even when the djs signal for the crowd to clap their hands the crowd doesnt react. No appreciation. Its so bad. On the East coast however, the ppl know their shit. They really appreciate the DJ. Why on earth do you think DJs such as armin and pvd go to the east coast so often? Compare the number of times PvD or Armin have been to the East Coast to the number of times they've been to the West Coast. I've seen both scenes first hand. It's a much better vibe over there. Now.. that being said..that's just my observation of the scenes on each coast. That doesnt mean i dont like living in LA. I've lived in LA all my life and its a great place to live but as far as party vibe goes its pretty bad. IF you ever get a chance to party on the East Coast you'll understand what i mean.

I have to agree with wushuboy!! LA trance scene sucks! Out of all the people who show up for Ferry or Armin at the Mayan, only a few stay to the very end of their sets. And when PvD comes to LA, he seems to play much more progressive and techno. Something tell me PvD doesn't really like the LA scene and that Giant must be paying him a lot of money to spin out here. Yes, Giant last NYE sucked ass. Giant also moved the last PvD party in June to some wack club in downtown that was way too small. All in all, Giant sucks ass.

Well dude look at it like this your lucky enough to even see PvD or Armin or which ever DJ your into. Atleast your not living in a place where these DJ's don't even perform at.
