Is there even a "best one" or are they all equally good, but in different ways?
I am asking this because for a while now, I've been wanting to go on a vacation far away and go to a crazy party, I just can't make up my mind which one to go to, I have pretty much decided GCSSS for next year, I just want to see if any of you who have been to this event, and others think it's better to go to something else instead 
Can any of you please help me out?
Thanks, peace and respects |
Well the BIGGEST in the world, as in ever, is the Berlin Love Parade. 1.5 million people. Over 50 trucks with trance and techno DJs. I have been saving for months for this one, I can't fucking wait!
One of the longest in the UK that I know of is Glastonbury, which is a huge rather unorganised event with 3 days and 3 nights of constant music in some farmers field in the middle of nowhere. It is however aimed at all music styles, but they nearly always have a dance tent of some sort. Because of it's unorganised nature, they have a tradition of keeping the lineups secret until the event. It's not so trance orientated though, a lot of rock music and so on is at the event too. I'd love to go one day, but this classic event (which prides itself as the daddy of festivals) may die this year, as last year tons of people just piled over their fences and got in free.
As for the best TRANCE one-night LINEUP in the world, that is going to be a debated point, but a lot of people would agree that Godskitchen Global Gathering probably has the best trance lineup you'll find, IMO it is better than Summer Sound System (but not by a very long way).
Global Gathering will have TA's from a lot of countries coming this year (check the thread in the UK forum), so it truly will be a global gathering. I can't wait for the meet-up! 
You can find the lineup here: http://www.godskitchen.com/global/
I wouldn't sweat over it though, whether you go to Berlin Love Parade, Dance Valley, Summer Sound System or Global Gathering, you're going to have a great experience, let's face it. I wouldn't ask someone to tell you where is best to go, as I think it's a personal preference. For example, people from the UK travel to Dance Valley every year, but IMO Berlin Love Parade is more worth the money, but it depends what floats your boat. Some people might not be bothered about the length, or the afterparties, other people might not care whether it's 40,000 or a million, but you might.
Oh and sorry for taking part in the thread  I might actually make SSS though, if I can get tickets, persuade my mate to go, and ensure I can afford it. SSS is the day after my birthday, I'm 50/50 about it right now.
