Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles
 

August 8th. The Forum in Inglewood.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

Oh man.

Presale tickets $55 while they last. What does VIP get you? Open bar and...??

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

...and a chance to hang out with me

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

very tempted.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

VIP tix purchased. I don't really know what that entails or if it was worth the extra $. Frankly right now I don't care.
:D

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

would it be dumb to assume that an LA date means an SF date?
wish i knew more people in that area, things would be so much simpler to plan for.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

Excellent news. Will be my eighth Underworld show!

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

I agree, I can't see them coming JUST to LA. They do love SF. So, do I get an LA ticket now or hope they add additional (and closer) date(s)?

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

hold on for sf ;)

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

raise pants, loads more us dates to come, but have to wait till may to announce, pizza time.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

Loads more? Awesome.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

Just got my tickets for $55 even (cash) at Poo Bah records in Pasadena! Pretty rad. I didn't go for VIP... although I'm thinking i should have because I can easily drink $80 worth of alcohol... but no wait my gf can't. I think you just get free drinks (not sure if it's well or what?) and a little quarantine area in the back with a view? That's how it seems to usually be any way.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

Hmm...I wonder if this means a SF date and possibly a date at a venue somewhere north of San Francisco? (One can always hope)

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

I concur.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

Fixed again. :D

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

So Yannick, it's May .... pizza time is over. :D

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

Unfortunately the sound in the Forum sucks. Like really badly. I've seen too many shows their marred by terrible sound :(

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

Well then, I'm holding out for more dates before booking any plane tickets.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

I saw Muse there a couple years back and it wasn't that bad.

I'm much more concerned with the pairing of Underworld and the HARD promoters....such an odd pairing, really...

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

gotta play to the kids sometimes you know?
can't always be prawn sarnies at the hollywood bowl.;)

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

Put a couple DJs who wear wrestling masks in front of them and blare electro for an hour straight in front of Underworld and you'll watch these kiddies claim Rick and Karl (and Darren) are boring ( :) )

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

i think rick and karl will bang the arse out of it like they do at some dance events in europe sometimes.
wouldn't expect much riverrun ambience.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

I'd suspect you're right but I don't know if you've heard how much banging the electro guys have been doing. It's soul-less banging, but banging nonetheless.

I picked up a VIP ticket so I can at least hang out with the old farts in a different area. :D

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

That's where I'll be!

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

That's where I hope a lot of our friends are...gonna be a hard sell, I think, getting them to pony up $125.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

Do headliners at these Hard festivals get long to play? I looked at last year's summer show at the Shrine and it didn't look like anyone got full sets (90 minutes being the exception for MSTRKRFT).

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

It's sooooo on.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

I suspect Underworld will get 90 minutes. I'm just pissed I have to deal with a who's who of electro bullshit for however long I'm there before Underworld goes on. At least there's an open bar in the VIP. That's where I'll be getting tanked while Crystal Castles and Crookers and Chromeo and whoever else is on.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

According to this, the festival is going from 8 PM - 4 AM, so UW probably won't be going on stage until well after midnight.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

That's an excellent plan. You can hide in the Forum Club and make the most of that VIP pricing. :D

From that link, I'm wondering what "Below the arena, a second stage will be erected in THE UNDERGROUND" means. There's actually an area to put another stage underneath the Forum? But it's interesting they're going for an in-the-round setup for the main stage. As for set times, yeah, I was wondering what time Underworld would even go on. The set times from last year's show ( http://www.last.fm/event/578522 ) showed that the headliner, N*E*R*D (the one whose name was the first on the flyer) came on at midnight. MSTRKRFT was second-billed and supposedly came on at 1:10am.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

Oh, sounds like they could be on around midnight then.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

Hopefully they'll post set times by July or so, that way everyone can plan accordingly (and possibly ignore everything else happening at this festival).

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

i just looked at UW on facebook and it say's they are on from 10:25 to 11:25:confused:

edit: which of the US dates are their very own concerts re: not part of a festival?

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

That could just be a placeholder time so the event can be posted on Facebook. I'd say don't get too worked up until the schedule is posted on the Hard Fest site.

Oakland and Vegas, on the other hand, are their own shows.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

My guess is 12:30am to 2am...then have a couple more DJ slots behind them.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

I'm making charts and graphs and maps to help me figure out if I can attend all three shows in a row: Vegas, Oakland and Los Angeles.

Luckily I'm L.A. based, so I can just crash at home after Hardfest. But man, that's a lot of $$$ and music.

Re: Underworld @ HardFest Los Angeles Aug 8th
 

So Yannick, were the 2 additional dates in the US (Vegas & Oakland) the "loads more dates" you were referring to? Still wondering if we're going to get any more shows.
