alistair To those that went, what was the Soundgarden area like? Atmosphere looks good on clips. More women too by the looks of it
Soundgarden stage made life difficult. It had a good lineup in the prog/melodic house scene and plenty stayed there but clearly the bigger headliners were all piled into the outdoor stage.
Herein lies the rub.
Because Soundgarden had a ceiling and walls, the sound hit you better - [15 points]
It was able to be decorated and have DMX lights above you plus a range of ‘garden’ decor like you expect from SG [10 points]
They also reinforced more funktion 1s to near the ‘open exit’ where there was a spillout terrace creating an entirely different outdoor club feel with the sun on you - yet you could clearly see ‘inside the club’ - i’d never seen a layout like this before and sometimes we stood quite far back with the sound crystal clear.

At the outdoor exit / terrace they also had higher up stages where people were standing and dancing on (no barriers). I was thinking surely security is going to ask them to get down but many were literally still there 5 hours later - I like this type of freedom / relaxedness about a club and having people surrounding you all up for it just added to the vibe [20 points]
I can’t be 100% but I hope that place IS actually a standalone venue and they built the rest of the festival - I’d love to go back just to that.
@Smallman1 that tune is the Extended Remix of Ashee - Poison. Not the 2 minute long one.
