Is he coming out for Smirnoff Experience? Tiesto is headlining, which is so super-flippin awesome, but it could be cool to have Paul in as part of the show.

Hi there I read in your post that he is playing at 6pm? Is that correct?

Yeah it says the event starts at 6pm but I doubt he will be playing early, probably nearer to 10 or 11pm I'm guessing

Paul is playing at 12.30am to confirm! Cheers. See you all there. Claire.

Yeah Dave that was the maddest party I've been to in ages as well! The dance floor was the place to be, but I actually had to take a break when I realised I could not move at all! It makes regular club nights seem so boring that you don't even want to go out.

Are you consciously telling me that you enjoyed the over crowded hanger where you were not able to move?

What is the purpose of having such an event when no one can dance due to over crowding???

When the space is limited, so should the tickets be.

To be honest, I like getting dirty amongst the real crowd, drink spilling, smoke...but I can see that it was way too overcrowded :) Agreed there. But I was there for the music, and yeah it would have been better with less overcrowding. Somewhere like the Bellville Velodrome is good, but then it's also a little less 'personal' there. Definitely the way to go is to sell less tickets, but you know how it is in business...maximize the profits, which is a pity.
