+ MORE TO BE ANNOUNCED

On the day we will be presenting a massive....
SUMMER FASHION PARADE

The fashion parade will be professionally choreographed and will involve at least one top modelling agency and a selection of 5 of Adelaide's hottest fashion outlets. We're building a full catwalk in the Shores main auditorium. Snowball effect in full effect on the Fashion Parade also. You've been warned, this is not something we are taking lightly.

Limited first round Tickets on sale at Venuetix today at $47+bf.

This event will feature at least 2 major stages. The Shores main auditorium and an outdoor stage overlooking beautiful West Beach. There will be giveaways all day long and prizes for those that best embrace the Beach Party theme. We will also be presenting a larger than life fashion parade complete with catwalk and Novatech will be providing South Australia's finest lighting and sound. Make no mistake, this is going to be massive.

"Finally a little Ibiza hit's Adelaide's Shores"

Greatest Line-Up Ever In Adelaide... I'll bet my left nut on that, seriously fuck Enchanted, this is where it's at!!

Dunno, needs a few more people with Van in their name for me

For electro / trance types this is a seriously good line up.

The fluro massive and their big 80's sunnies will be out in force for this I'm sure.

  I'm definitely going to have to dig out my fluoro Hungry Jacks Sunglasses, imagine how many chicks i'll be able to pull with (electro)street cred like that!!!!

Just added YOJI BIOMEHANIKA to the lineup, two more to announce Monday and have an offer I'm finding it hard to refuse from a big  act that has played several of our festivals... so don't rule anything out. This event has a serious snowball effect in play and who am I to stop a total blowout from occuring if that is natures intention. 

PVD playing a 3 hour set!!!!

Jeepers ... the day after enchanted... going to be some fresh looking crew there 

Eh..don't think I'll be doing Enchanted this year. I'm going to this for something different..I seen PVD when he came here last and he seriously rocked it, so there's no chance I'm missing him again. Plus I can't wait to see him play to a massive festival sized crowd.   

just mention your name that should help you big time at this party

including urself, i hope??

ali's dead keen for this.

Even though im past Trance, (Used to love it) but PVD sure put on a hell of a show.

got my tix 

Say what you feel about whether you're digging a genre of music at the time but PAUL VAN DYK playing 3 hours with this crazy fuckin live setup with keyboards and screens and lasers, that shit will just be magical.

I can tell you I approached the Armin Van Buuren White Party in Melbourne with the same attitude. "No no, I'm not really into trance, I just want to check out the party etc etc". I was in a group of a half a dozen DnB heads and for that night we all fuckin LOVED TRANCE. It was incredible. The funny thing is that a lot of what passes for trance at the moment is a bunch of sped up progressive, house and electro as far as I can tell. There's these vocals and visuals and in a huge crowd you just get pulled in. I hope the open minded people on the forum give this a try. I really think that with 4 rooms of music that that everyone will find something they like at all times of the day, just no DnB at this one unless someone from Enchanted rolls up with a record bag and boots one of the locals offstage, haha. From a personal perspective I would probably sanction that kind of chaos but we're not planning on it. I think people should open themselves up completely to new experiences and have a little DnB zone would be a cheat or sorts.

 

Not baggin at all Dale, what I ment to say is Im over my Trance phase. I used to love trance and still like it some what. Trance got me into the Dance scence originaly and made me want to write my own stuff . Ive  writen a shit load of trance trax in the past but that was like 8 + years ago. So the love was there. Just not as big at the moment. Ive been to a lot of trace shows in the past and I know the vibe is awesome. shows like Armin Van Buren @ Two tribes in Melbourne last year fucken ROCKED and would have to say that was one of the best experiences for me.

PVD has earnt his title of World #1 dj fo'sure imo cause he puts on dam good show. And Im sure looking forward to this one.

Is Paul Van Dyk going be on when it gets dark? Trance should always be played at night I reckon, with wicked lasers and lighting

reach for the sky! 

Dale/Elcipse has already confirmed that PVD will be closing the show...so yeah most of his set will be at night. But it will be indoors, so it will be dark anyway. And I agree with you on the lasers/lighting!

I'm listening to his new album at this very moment..and I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to this more than anything else this year. (Besides Summer Break, of course  )

Man, I love the Summer/party season 

Yep, 7 til 10pm main auditorium set for PVD. It's the only area big enough with a 2000 odd capacity. Last check we'd cracked 700 already so I think that room will be some crazy crazy atmosphere.

Other confirmed acts include...

Gwill Morris (UK) + A Secret Act (definately BIG, in the 4 best on the bill) to be revealed on the day.

Additional locals including... Amoeba Live, HMC, Jorge Watts, Femme Fatales Live, Fenetik Live, Lachy Pender

Amoeba Live & Jorge Watts BOh!

4strings...?

This one is seliing amazingly. If anyone on AM wants to come PM me and I can hook up VIP's for on the day. I have about 200 left. First come first served.

Ya cant do that!

I tried to go to the Armin Van Buuren White Party in Melbourne but couldnt get tix that weekend! grrr!

ended up seeing D Ramirez instead

man that weekend in melbourne was a long long long weekend

Australian House/Electro act... check Onion on Thursday.

What does the VIP ticket get you?

Im thinking that either the internattys wont like to have their areas encroached on by a few hundred punters, or there will be a few hundred unexclusive VIPs

I cant decide

Is it just a seperate area, like a gold class?

I am thinking there will be a VIP VIP area 

i wish i never entered this thread....

reading about PVD reminds me of being at Together As One in LA, NYE a cpl years back...such an awesome nite, PVD brought in the new year...sooooo good!! then it was outside for DSL, Ed & Opt, Zinc etc etc Ahhh memories.

DOH! now i wanna go to this.....

man it sucks being pov

who is goin to this btw?

The VIP area is a 500 capacity room with its own bar, toilets, couches, beanbags + video screen with live picture and sound feed from the main auidtorium. Artists will still have a backstage but the benefits are significant

I'll be going down to have a look. Don't know how long I'll last there but will definitely be checking it out.

I have vague recollections of us deciding you'd do some posters for PVD tix last weekend... that happened yeah. Come dow to The Bird Saturday if you can and I'll sort you some poster materials.

oops just saw this...yeh no posters 4 me, have had zero time...but im goin now anyways. YAY!

I can't wait for this. Apart from a few stray tix in shops and possibly venuetix... sales are pretty much reserved for on the door now to cater for the Enchanted recovery crew. I can't wait, this is going to be fuckin busy as and we've spared no expense so it'll be great to see what Novatech and The Shores Complex can do.

Really looking forward to experiencing something different this weekend!! Im starting to think this is exactly what the doctor ordered!!

Nice work on the beach access too Eclipse! 

Really looking forward to this, I'm going to Enchanted tonight for a few hours (wasn't gonna go before), just to pass the time so I'm not bored waiting for this 

Any reports?

Far too shattered from Funkshop and Enchanted to head to this.

The door tickets sold out not long after opening. Thats what the various sms's I've received from people trying to get in have said.

Gonna go down in a minute for look I reckon. See what its like. Pretty sure it will be a very big day for the trance & electro crew thats for sure.

Had so many off tappers starting to rock up at the Pier between 10 and 11. Thankfully not too many came and they weren't drinking much.

For a Sunday party with no public holiday afterwards, this was a rocking party, even when we got there at 9.
Although I didn't actually catch too much of PVD (too packed for my liking), I'm glad to have gone to this.
Highlight of the night was Patchy's freestyle battle with two randoms and the chick busting out the harmonica when the music was turned off outside

You always manage see the underground sounds LD


I heard they over sold tickets
I'm happy I didn't go last time with Roni Size after a big night before I couldn't handle it way to many punters.

there's nothin like taking out a spur of the moment freestyle cartwheel competition.  those bitches were wack gee

They just couldn't compare with the flawless execution of quadruple cartwheel into freeze finish.

Natural born winner!!

hahaha that was great

I AM FUCKING KICKING MYSELF for not going yesterday

arrggh!

seems like a few people on RA are cheesed off thou for missing PVD

For this event, Noddy, Dubbd and I arrived at 9. There were still a few punters lining up, in hope of getting into the main room. We went to the back area and walked straight into the rear entrance to the main room and no security was there to stop people going in that way. When PVD started his set, the room was probably more chockers than when we got in. But did the punters who say they missed out even bother to check if they could get in the back way? Methinks no, otherwise they should've been able to get in. Better late than never!

This is how we got in the main room as well...the first time we tried tho, we took the wrong door and walked past a cop and what looked like a manager of some sort, and then ended up back in the foyer where the line was! DOH!

We aced it second time tho, clear path straight thru into the main room...



Wish i was there to witness this...!
