dv:
is cheaper
will probably have a better crowd with less chavs (DnB tent at global doesn't help matters)
has better transport to & from the event
has a MINDBLOWING setup on the mainstage (too bad you only get the best of it for about an hour at the end though)
global:
is less foreign :p
will probably be better for trance (dv's trance tent sucked last year & only pvd/ferry made the mainstage)
lasts longer (goes right through the night on the saturday whereas dv is all done by 11)
has more stuff to do besides the music
if you're making a holiday out of it though i'd say dv, simply because holland is generally cooler to hang out in than here. i'd find some cheap accomodation in amsterdam and stop there for a few nights :)
as for august bank holiday, i think creamfields normally falls around that time. i don't think anything has been advertised this far in advance yet though, and wouldn't think it would sell out quickly at all |

| I did global last year and was one of the best festivals I've ever done. The trance tent was going off from the 1st minute we arrived until 5am. |

the thing is with Global is that you know you will have ALL the big named djs playing there. but DV did have 3 trance arenas last year so that was pretty cool.
while the line-up was probably better at global it was just such a better atmopshere at DV. i never realised how much of a negative impact beerboys, pillheads and arrogant twats had, i always thought i didnt mind them too much. i guess doing GKGG and DV so close to each other highllighted the differences even more.
for me this year DV is more of a priority. |

GKGG gets worse every year
DV always comes up with the goods.
Not that it matters as DV is now in July, which means in clashes with the Love Parade :whip: i envision a hardcore weekend though...:D |

| didnt really enjoy the whole GKGG thing with it being split over two days, kinda didnt work, camping in the Midlands of the UK isnt quite right in my opinion |

be quicker to get a train straight back from Stratford, i would recommending leaving 30mins before the end as the queues for the bus are stupid at the end |
