I'm seriously considering.

Simon Rigg & Heidi

These two rock, btw - if you do go, make sure you see them. Simon did a fantastic opening at Isst about two months ago...

it's a wicked lineup but with the SW4 and the monster afterparty I very much doubt it

SW4 for me

Mite come over for this..last year's was one of the best festivals i went to..great site too..

I'm seriously considerig heading over to this after SW4. The afterparty line-up is decent - more Lawler would be good, and (if i remember correctly) Wallis and Brancaccio were pretty amazing last New Years Day at Herbal - but it's hard to ignore the variety on offer over at the Cross festival.

I'm flying back from a party in Serbia, then straight to SW4, then across to TDK. The saturday night line-up is one of the more creative line-ups I've seen this year.

Cannot wait.

that's gonna be painful lj

No, Notting Hill Carnival on Monday after Friday/ Sat/ Sun will be the painful part.... !

haha oh dear

lj the kick-on queen






hows things?

not much kickin on these days I'm afraid. too much work.

but work is good, so all is good...

Retro_Vert boat party for me with Dave Clarke, Ben Sims, Christian Smith and A Guy Called Gerald. Then on to Lost with Mills and Max Duley.

I'll be doing Fabric.

What a fantastic line up to get the weekend you get from holiday.

Who's playing at Fabric on the 27th?

You must have info that us mere mortals don't, as the line-ups aren't out for August yet.

Share please!

Yes they are:

Room One:
Craig Richards
Andrew Weatherall
Lopazz (live)
Headman

Room Two:
Ellen Allien
James Holden
Damian Lazarus

Room Three:
Terry Francis
Kenny Hawkes
Bill Brewster

oops, yes they are.

If they swapped the lineup in Room1 & Room2 I'd be more inclined

I feckin hate Room2 :/

what date is hawtin playin in august again? *runs of to check*

he's not lj


*sobs quietly in corner.

he's playing creamfields on the saturday and then with Ricardo at the closing of the Cologne festival at the Pollerweisen. Supposedly a huge outdoor rave in the meadows by the river. Friends are going. I'd be tempted if the line-up in London wasn't pretty decent already.

Think hawtin's next non-festival UK appearance is the september 17th fabric launch party for transitions.

god damn. i would like to do this. but tdk feels like something special where as fabric goes off every weekend. i'm gonna wait a bit and see what others are up to...

Looks wicked but will be at SW4 but might pop in for a bit on Sun

Chris ?

BJ

dear god I hope not

SW4 for me too but then I have a tough decsion on weather to go to TDK go to a boat party or possible go on a date with I girl I met speedating.

However after SW4 I will probably be a gurning mess, so TDK or Boat Party are the better options, join the other people practising mouth gymnastics

you went speed dating? how was it? i tried that but no girls liked me. i tell myself my qualities are hidden deeper than a 3 minute meeting can reveal... maybe i should try again

as for tdk festival, fuck it it looks shit. SW4 is where its at. dunno about sunday yet...
