LABOUR OF LOVE 2009

[lancelot873]

Hi all,

I'm really looking forward to this year's LOL. Any info as to when the tickets will be available is greatly appreciated.

I attended the 2008 edition and really enjoyed it. I hope the line up this year is better than before. Unfortunately I missed Armin's full 8 hour set last year, so I'm planning on making it up for this year :)

its too early, usually something is posted on the Guv website around mid july or later

best one so far for me was the 2007 edition, lineup was great

[lancelot873]

LOL yea i know it's too early, i'm just saying if anyone gets to see the info up on the guvernment's site before i do would kindly inform me about it :) i check the website from time to time myself, but i'm going to be very busy over the next few weeks, so i thought a little heads up won't hurt :)

[t4e]

well there's lots more shows in the next 3 weekends

I agree, but unfortunately I'm in Dubai now, and I'm really pissed that I missed Canada Day, and going to miss Gareth Emery and Aly and Fila. I'm on a "compulsory" vacation :(

The club scene here is not that bad, I personally expected it to be much better, but no; did not meet my expectations. It's all House music, which is alright, not like Trance and Progressive. I'm very picky about the music I listen to, and most things in life for that matter :)

I didn't go last year but i checked Armin Van Burrens gigs and it says Sept 6 2009 Labour of Love...so thats the date

Last time i saw Armin was new year's 05-06 at Red Lite Club in Laval, Montreal. And that was alright, so i wouldn't mind if he came back and played a set at LabourOfLove agian, still waiting for Guv to post the lineup for the night though!

[lancelot873]

yea, same here. i went to LOL in 2008, and apparently armin played an 8 hour set, but i didn't get to stay for the whole night, thanks to friends :(

i read over at tranceaddict.com that people are not looking forward for armin, a lot of them actually, and they were making fun of LOL saying that it should be renamed to labour of armin..seriously?? people, if you like trance, stop complaining and we don't want to see your old faces in LOL 2009. they were complaining about how he's been doing LOL for the past 8 years, and you know what? i say he's good at it!

did you tell them on tranceaddict to stop complaining?

its pretty pointless telling that here

and yes, LOL used to be a good even with a lot of variety, not anymore tho, not in the past 2 years anyway

[lancelot873]

haha, nah. it doesn't matter what they think, at the end of the day if armin is going to come, it's his decision really. and those people are going to show up regardless.

and now since markus schulz is coming on the 22nd of aug. , LOL is begining to look worse than before :( armin is doing the zoo fest on the 5th of sept. there's a slight chance he makes it to toronto, unfortunately.

WUD UP PEEPS!

Guess what? the info for Labour of Love is OOT! (oot = out in English)

The biggest names are Van Buuren and Guetta.
Hope to see you all there :)

[lancelot873]

yea, thanks! i do agree the line up is sucky, but then again, i would've been at the armin show all night anyway, so no complains there :)))) got my tickets, and i'm ready to go!

[t4e]

kinda of a deja vu of the Contact lineup

[lancelot873]

yea, i agree, minus markus schulz.

[t4e]

well, totally not worth $50, so i won't bother this year

[lancelot873]

oh come on! it's not that bad going to see the no.1 dj!?!?! it's worth reconsidering i would say. tell you what, we can split it, and i'll get you a drink for saying yes...

[t4e]

lol that's a nice offer but first of all i've seen Armin many times, and while his Live performances were great, lately (past 3-4 years) he's slacking off and i find his track selection on live gigs as well as on ASOT, boring

second, afaic NO.1 DJ is Markus Schulz, and he's back in Toronto again next Saturday for a 6 hour set, and i will be there, so if you plan on attending than you can get me drink next week :ee:, i'll pay for my ticket :grinning2:

[lancelot873]

what?? markus is no.1? according to who? i'm not saying he's not good, he is as good as other big names in the industry, but technically he's not according to dj mag 2008, we'll see about 2009..i already voted.

and about next week..it's a tough call..because if you may recall, i'm in dubai, and will be back on the 22nd, and my friends are already throwing me a party, so i'm gonna be jet lagged like never before :S

[elsakran]

Tonight is Labor Of Love, It's going to be so intense. I actually can't wait to go even though the line up is a little soft. I'm almost 110% positive it'll be a great night.

[lancelot873]
