No. I don't think hamilton is ready for it. There aren't enough people in people to fill normal weekly/fornightly clubnights as it is. They may come out for a bigger event, but your still working with a small base of people who actually like 'dance music'.
If you were going to - Where do you plan to hold something like this??....assuming there would be at least 3 rooms
I totally see where you coming from johnson... how ever I think the only clubs that could support this kinda of event would be liquid lounge, catalyst (up stairs and downstairs), altitude?.. maybe.. and that would be it! these places could cover the lot of styles!
Liquid - House
Catalyst - Breaks, Hip-Hop, DnB - Hard Dance?
Altitude? - Hard Dance/bands
give me some ideas.. this is what im thinking
maybe even some bands like, trinity roots, sal dub, fat freddys drop, cornerstone etc... but this is an idea.. I would like heaps of input.. please!
Depending on the size of the event have you ever thought about putting a party together like alpine unity or the gathering out at mystery creek.
A three day event, over new years would go off out there.
I know dreams are free, but hey you've gotta think big aye!!!
If you are planning a NYE type big gig... best to do it right away from waikato and go to a beach.
It is EXTREEMLY difficult to operate a multi venue event, and usually considered far too much hassle & risk. So unless you can find a building with several rooms youre probably pushing something brown & sticky up hill with a stick.
They have held nights in the past that utilised both catalyst and alcove, from memory that worked quite well. You couldn't have one room at catalyst then another down at liquid lounge because its too far to walk. maybe if you could hire out liquid lounge judder bar and the loft or maybe even monkey feather. Sounds like a shit load of planning and alot could could go wrong.
sounds risky. Shiteload of money required to pull it off. hard to gaurantee a crowd at a gig like that. Also have to keep ticket prices way down and have it on a night when there is NOTHING else on.
But don't let that put yo off.
A licence can be applied for, but with that comes all the usual restrictions.
Still, worth enquiring about.
Most just drink red bull & water anyway, don't need a licence for that!
