Serious. They are using the same portable fences that divide the lines outside the club. |

okay.. with all this drama going on, i think GV knows what they're doing and it does seem like they double booked the venue with the Girl Scouts (who seem to have changed their time/place to TBA).. so not much to worry there.. but i find it funny how they advertise CARL COX and FRIENDS in the beginning and now he's not on there.. wtf.
now Insomniac has booked him for their Stereo Live Halloween Party in Houston on Oct 29th.. how funny is it for Insomniac to seriously steal the lineup from GV.. damn.. what are the chances of Cox flying back to cali to do at least a 2hr set? I sure hope he shows up.. only other reason im going is cuz of ArminOnly and maybe Nero and Erick Morillo.. but half my friends are going to Escape.. i can see how much of a production Escape could end up being knowing how artistic and creative Insomniac gets.. however the only one I care about on the lineup there is Dash Berlin.. haha
hope they bring Carl Cox back.. he was a selling factor when I purchased my ticket as well. how cool would it be to have the first winner of djmag's top100 there and also Armin celebrating his 5th year as #1 (hopefully lol)..
lets hope Monster lives up to its hype.. haven't been to MM since 2001! haha |

Yeah, this is true, Carl Cox hinted that he would be at Monster on Facebook a while back, but it was NEVER official. |

| Things just change with lineups anyhow. Look at title of tis thread itself. It says BT is going to be there, and that was according to BT. GV/MM never announced it. It's why I always say nothing is official until it's announced by the promoter or venue itself. |

| in the earlier marketing of monster massive 2011, carl cox and friends was listed along with armin only and erick morillo.. those were the top 3 names that was marketed for Go Ventures for this year's MM 2011 event.. so they probably pulled it out asap.. but still, why would they do such a thing without confirming it.. haha |

[UPDATED: Monster Massive Does Not Have a Contract With Any Venue; Former Employee Tells All] Where The Hell Is Monster Massive Going To Be Held?
UPDATE: Monster Massive has not held an official contract with any venue for their 2011 incarnation, says a former Go Ventures Inc. employee who requested anonymity. The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (where the festival has been held for the past 13 years), turned them down because a USC-Stanford football game was already booked on Oct. 29.
Since that denial, the former Go Ventures employee said subsequent attempts at securing an alternate venue led to a string of denials. Early this year, Go Ventures set their sights on becoming the Port of Los Angeles' official event organizer and promoter. "They thought they were a shoo-in considering they put on some of the largest raves in the country," the anonymous employee said, adding they planned to hold Monster Massive at the Port once they were given the job. This was a multi-month application process.
In April, headliner Armin van Buuren's management team requested to see Monster Massive's venue. Often dubbed the "number one DJ in the world," van Buuren and his management were told when Go Ventures booked them that Monster Massive would be held at the Port of Los Angeles, even though the management company hadn't secured a contract with the Port for the event then.
When van Buuren's team came to Los Angeles from the Netherlands to view the venue, Go Ventures couldn't get access to a walk-through for the Port venue, because, well, they didn't have a contract yet. Instead, Go Ventures had a helicopter fly over the port to show Van Buuren's team the supposed venue.
The deal with the Port of Los Angeles did not go through. "We never looked for an alternate venue [until the deal with the Port of Los Angeles fell through]," the former Go Ventures employee said. "Reza [Gerami] believed one hundred percent that this was going to go down."
Go Ventures' president and CEO, Reza Gerami, is now assuring fans it will be held at the Oak Canyon facility in Silverado on Oct. 29. He told the Weekly, "Rely on us. I have no statement other than what we've always said: Monster Massive will happen, the artists are confirmed, the venue is confirmed." He added that Go Ventures will make an official statement via their website Tuesday.
Gerami said they have refrained from speaking publicly because the owner of James Events, Garry James, was in Turkey and Athens, Greece for several weeks. They wanted to meet with him before making any official announcements. Gerami, who is also a DJ slated to perform at Monster Massive as DJ Reza, said he's on a 24-hour-hold from releasing further information.
"Hopefully we'll be able to release some good news [Tuesday]," he said.
The former Go Ventures employee said he's not so sure. "If [Gerami] did have a contract, it would be taking place there no problem," he said. "Bottom line: they never never never had a contract from day one. They've been accepting money from people since July knowing they were lying about where it's taking place.
"It's not fair for Reza to add another million dollars to his bank account by stealing from the ticket buyers," he added.
According to the former employee, he anticipates that if Monster Massive does not happen, Go Ventures will not be quick to offer refunds. In the past, Go Ventures has reimbursed unsatisfied customers with offers of complementary admission or VIP admission to their future events.
"It's obviously a big, big show," the former employee said. "Monster Massive is Go Venture's bread and butter." Monster Massive is entering its 14th year. It draws upwards of seventy thousand attendees and several large name DJ acts such as Armin van Buuren, Moby and Deadmau5. One of Go Ventures' other raves, Love Fest, took place at Oak Canyon Park in August and they did have a contract for that event. Love Fest is the longest-running dance music festival in the US and was Go Ventures' first official rave in 1992. It draws approximately half the attendance of Monster Massive, but has several off-shoots such as Love Fest Vegas and Love Fest Hawaii.
In addition to being denied by the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Port of Los Angeles and Oak Canyon Ranch, the former employee said Monster Massive was turned away by the Anaheim Convention Center, and the Home Depot Center in Carson. The North County Times reported that the Lake Elsinore Motocross Park turned them away in September as well. |
