Its funny how many people bash on Ultra for being a trance-ish e-tard festival, yet sorry to say this but the e-tards arnt there cause of the trance ...morons. There are maybe 3 true trance acts a day at Ultra. And as mentioned it is that way because trance doesnt have its own stage as opposed to every other genre there. Trance has to share a stage with other big headliners on a main stage. However the genres the other headliners come from all have stages for their genre - i.e. House stage, Breaks, etc. The WMC polls are all bullshit and are rigged in a sense by mass voting by the ultra promoters. UMF has no chance in hell of beating festivals from europe. I mean ask any artist what festival is their favorite and UMF def doesnt show up haha. Even Carl Cox who has a tent after him says other festivals. Also the money put into the festival is way less than those around the world. UMF is more set up as an outdoor concert with many stages than a rave festival. And to those who say many of the trance artists wont pack a crowd... look at the other stages. Half of the early part of the day the tents arent packed. If you set up a trance tent, the acts not as known can play early yet still please those who enjoy that genre. Trance at Ultra is pretty much the same cause they keep looking at it as main stage artists and acts to pack the place up like Armin and Ferry and Oakie. Dont need to worry about that if it was a tent stage.
