Pretty phat if you ask me! Also the location is pretty damn cool, industrial machinery of huge scale fill the landscape and are part of the dance area's. I think this will be a very, very nice festival. I think it could be compared to Nature One's freakyness combined with the chilled and sweet atmosphere of SonneMondSterne.. I will definately be on this festival!

Hmmm. 2 bad. U been to SMS or Nature One? If so, how would you compare those festivals to Melt? Try to be objective ;-)

Been to SMS last year. Was VERY nice. Very nice weather (no rain, 30 degrees, lot's of sun.), nice line-up, relaxed atmosphere. Really a recommendation.

That's a same. I was there to. I really liked the mixture of people. Because it wasn't only electronic music also some bands combined with live acts and dj's.
It's a totally differant festival then SMS and it's hard to compaire. Think Melt is more alternative.
And idiots....? The drugs use is much lesser then festivals like SMS and Nature one.

I liked it and it's really worth going to. It's got a very industrial look.

Maybe I was that idiot you did not like

I think it's a nice thing to also have bands on a festival. Nature One was really very very electronic in all it's forms. Techno, Minimal, House but also Hardcore, Hardstyle, Terror.. all that sh!t doesn't normally improve the general atmosphere of a festival. I think we can say without any prejudice that those styles atract alot of people that tend to use alot of drugs and get crazy and agressive from it. With SMS there's more room for bands who are somehow linked to electronic music (Lamb for instance). I think it can be very nice to have a few different things on a festival. I find it very refreshing to listen to entirely different sort's of music. Like classic music or jazz/blues, etc. I'd like to see a few nice bands when I'm on a festival. So when I leave the Minimal area I have something to listen to when I'm pissing :-) hehe.
