That UV Paint foam party sounds badass, and finally an actual beach party, which according to them won't be silent disco, which is great. Hopefully I get my shit together and make my way back there!

Actually quite dissapointed that they won't just be doing a weekend event next year as was rumoured. If I do go next year it will only be for the weekend. Beach party looks like it could be good though. Hope it doesn't get cancelled at the last minute like the advertised silent disco on the beach from last year.

Yea true I would have hoped to see a weekender instead of a full 7 days, but you never know things could happen between now and the beginning of presales. I'll have to see if it's even worth the trouble for me to get it on 99 quid presale seeing as how you can no longer resell your ticket later on. Do they issue refunds for those that are no longer going to attend though?
If I plan on returning I want to spend some of my time in England, so hopefully they could release a day-by-day lineup a week, maybe 2 weeks in advanced to see which days I am willing to skip out and spend more time in the UK, that is if I could not currently get a full 2 weeks off from whatever job I hope to have atm.

I'm sure they were offering refunds to people before this years event as there were a few pissed off Gabba heads who didn't want to go after the line up was released a couple of months before the event. Better to check that with Htid first though.
Can't see them releasing a day by day line up to be honest because that's what the lanyards are for, which is a actually quite a farce. They should be giving us a day by day line up on the flyer and printing the set times on the lanyards like they used to. Apparently the reason for this is because people were only coming out for the sets they wanted to see (how dare they!) and the club was empty for a lot of sets. My view is that people will leave if a dj they don't particularly like is on anyway regardless if they have set times or not. That's just the nature of Htid in the sun because you can come and go as you please. Maybe they'll start locking everyone in the club all night next lol.

Yea that will completely alienate their whole clientele seeing as how they're out of their f**king minds to do that and force us to buy 5 euro water and 10 euro shittyass drinks that the bar c**ts have no clue how to make. My guess is that Spain doesn't require people to get a bartender license to serve drinks.

They used to announce the line-up over 6months in advance. Now you're lucky if it is 2 months in advance.

Done 6 years in a row now but we will be skipping this one. Time to go and visit some other countries me thinks! Mexico or Malaysia next year. 8)
Nice that they have a beach party though! They had one a few years back but it was just a club that was on the beach that had the DJ's/sound system etc. which isn't a proper beach party IMO. :P Still good fun mind.

Yeah used to be so much more organised. Its a bit shit selling tickets north of ?100 but not telling anyone who they'll be seeing until a couple of months before. Sure its HTID In the sun and you can expect to see all the usual suspects but look what happened for this years event when they decided not to do a gabba and techno room.
Also they used to give set times on their flyers for normal events. I used to love that because you could plan your night well in advance. Now all they give you is a line up of whos playing (like most other promoters), don't even say whos doing kick off or morning glory.

Ooh if you go to Mexico please let me know! I was just there recently in Cancun and south of it and I can tell you that it is still a completely safe area! I can definitely give you places to check out and tips on there as well.

If there is a slim chance that I could even make it out to this I might consider cutting my time there short and make my way to Defqon.1 in Holland/The Netherlands during that weekend. Really definitely interested in having the Defqon experience it looks like one insane festival!
Hopefully if I'm lucky maybe do 2 week vacation again and check out The Netherlands as well, especially if Defqon falls the weekend after HTID ITS ends.
