Some major Montreal rave should re-think the location they picked for their events. You and I have first hand experience with these locations to tell which is more suitable for a 14hrs party that usually gathers over 7000 people.
Take into account the following aspects:
Sound System
Bathrooms
Space
Lights
Dance floor
Cold tap water
Go ahead, speak outÉ. A good place is almost half the fun.
My opinion: the worst is Palais des congres and I think Bal en Blanc should consider Bell Center this year.
Peace.

question: do you guys get a lot of unofficial raves in or around montreal? by 'rave' i mean barely promoted, low budget, with underground artists. like the ones that have their locations announced hours before they begin. thanks

Palais des congres
dance floor is less compact
sound.... DEFINITELY not Bell Center... i dont know about Celebration but i went to Cream 2004 and i had to be in the center of the dance floor not to feel the MAJOR echo created by havin speakers facin each other... i was really annoyed by that and even if the music was good (mostly Sander's part) i couldn't get it out of my mind

we use to have more
i guess im not informed on that anymore but i think the stuff we have is well promoted for the crowd it intends to attract
no i meant like smaller scale ones, a lot smaller than ones that are held in the bell center. a few years ago my bf went to one in a bingo hall outside of MTL...like that sorta thing. oh well i was just curious...thx

Mekroon, I agree with you, CREAM2004 sound system was very bad on the edges but this has changes impressively with Celebration2006. Maybe Godskitchen involved their specialist in sound tuning,

+1 Creams sound system was veeeery particular...like Meo said, if you're not in the middle, the echo is unbearable..hopefully it has changed since...
I agree with the Palais des congres....
but my all time fave, back in tha day venue....Just for Laughs museum....NINJA.

Yeah there are. A friend of mine went to one not too long ago (two months ago, or so). He was supposed to go to one on new year's eve, but decided to go to Aria instead. Good times were had.

I really don't have much experience in the larger parties in Montreal, although I loved Celebration.
