Haha, yeah I think I went to Stages when I was 15!! It was so easy to get in there. The "Bassmint" was in the basement of a hotel on Princess Street, across for the 7/11. It was a hole... but it was the ONLY place to go where you could hear ANY EDM.

"Currently in talks" and "strong possibility" are two very different things.

As soon as Primetime finds out Kingston's lack of population, scene, distance from many major cities, and lack of a proper "Tiesto-sized" venue for North America standards I'm sure the 'talks' you're having will be off in seconds. Also, I'd be very interested to know what sort of references a club in Kingston can provide a booking agency like Primetime to work from.

Couldn't agree more. I live in Kingston, and there isn't even a hockey arena that is big enough to hold an event like Tiesto. As for references, there would be none.

There use to be be a "small" scene here a few years ago, but let's face it, there will never be a big party scene in Kingston.

I'd follow the advise of those who have told you it won't work. If you don't want to lose a ton of money..start small. You won't create a scene in Kingston by throwing one big event. Give the small mass who do support the scene something small to enjoy and see where it takes you.

You won't get the mass if you don't have a big name and people are not going to travel from this area or Montreal to see a show unless it is someone that has never been to their city, will never play in their city or because they love Kingston so much that they plan to make a weekend of it (why us TO kids will travel to Montreal and vice versa) That's doesn't leave you with a long list of talent to draw from, if any. You may get a few hard core fans who would travel anywhere to see a more mainstream DJ such as Tiesto, PVD or Ferry but not enough to fill a stadium, at ticket prices that would give you a decent ROI.

If the scenes in Toronto and Montreal were hurting I'd say this idea would be better timed but that ain't the case. With all the shows we have to choose from in Toronto it doesn't make sense to travel to a less exciting city (not an insult here...I have friends who went to Queens and I had a lot of great nights out there)for a show that could very well be on our doorstep the next week.

bring Reba McEntire, Garth Brooks, Billy Ray Cyrus, Dolly Parton, Faith Hill or Shania Twain if you want a good turn out.

Keep in mind that there are lots of events going on in montreal and toronto all the time so unless you have something unique and new it is not likely that many people will want to drive that far.
