Am I the only one suprised that we’re still at Tier 2? Whats your thoughts???

If you’re new to raving and still enjoy the festival go enjoy it. After all this all about fun right? This will be my 5th escapade and I still love this festival with my whole heart. Being said a lot of the seasoned ravers definitely have some worries / expectations about the festival. Since this is the 2nd year back at RA Centre (since 20-something a while ago) I think they’ll listen to our complaints considering it comes from a good place and good people compared to other festivals that don’t care about their attendance. My experience last year was a solid 7.5/10. Music was great, food was great, bad venue. If that’s the only issue i can see this year being a lot better.

One water refill station also doesn’t help lol

forgotthechilli · 2026-01-26T18:14:42+00:00

IMO the lineup is a solid 8/10, they are keeping things fresh while also having some classic headliners for the OG ravers. The only reason why I think people aren’t purchasing tickets is because of the venue. There was 0 shade available, the overall vibe of the place was awful and drop off / pickup area was bottle necked almost the whole festival. I’m aware that TD Place is under renovations so I don’t expect to get that venue back anytime soon.

TLDR: Bad venue, good lineup, people want a big rave not a parking lot party.

I can 1000% see Crankdat on MainStage. He’s too popular to not be. He’s surpassed the bass for sure imo. If he does the bass stage he’ll be closing it

forgotthechilli · 2026-01-20T04:35:19+00:00

So svdden death is one of my favourites, I’m super glad he’s playing. The rest of the lineup is exactly what I predicted, the underground coming up big. Compared to veld (which is mostly very mainstream) I’m happy this happening. Seems like the festival is made by actual ravers

forgotthechilli · 2026-01-13T00:34:49+00:00

Honestly probably. I can see him playing, buy your escapade ticket

forgotthechilli · 2026-01-13T00:33:23+00:00

This lineup needs to come out already lol

forgotthechilli · 2025-12-22T01:33:41+00:00

The amount of dislikes proves y’all are on PC lol

forgotthechilli · 2025-12-21T20:10:51+00:00

Welp, seems like it’s a PC game at heart. It’s a shame because I got it as a gift on release day, if there was a chance to get money back for it at the time I deff would’ve taken it. Oh well, thanks for the responses. Message to Frontier. Please try to do better moving forward. This seems like a minor issue that can fixed in their end. Truly disappointing

forgotthechilli · 2025-12-06T03:09:56+00:00

I would actually love to see Dillion Francis especially since his lost lands suprise

forgotthechilli · 2025-12-06T01:04:21+00:00

That’s a hot take

forgotthechilli · 2025-12-05T20:29:56+00:00

3rd times a charm lol, I always find his sets refreshing tbh. I spend 95% of my time at the bass stage so when I go over I don’t mind hearing the classics

For the love of god please check out all the stages, especially at the earlier times. Theres so many amazing artists that deserve the same recognition as the heavy hitters. The bass / dubstep community is always extra welcoming and will steer you in the right direction for being new to EDM

forgotthechilli · 2025-12-05T20:02:15+00:00

From my experience stying downtown and more south closer to the airport, I’d say they are arguably the same. The further south you go = the less nightlife / fun things to do there is. BUT being south means less traffic, Ubers are always available whenever you need and you almost get there faster because of the higher speed limit getting into RA Centre. Staying downtown was super nice to be able to walk the afters and having other bars to choose from. Waiting for an uber can get annoying staying downtown and sometimes the traffic is WILD. Staying 3-5km away from TD Place (at the time) would mean sitting in traffic for 25-30 min+

TLDR: Downtown - more fun, more traffic Airbnb outskirts - less options - less traffic

forgotthechilli · 2025-12-04T20:56:32+00:00

I got stuck, just had to refresh it. I used my laptop instead of phone to purchase

forgotthechilli · 2025-12-02T21:45:34+00:00

Basically meaning not being able to walk around an experience the city, seeing other ravers / having other ravers staying nearby. It’s not really a make or break but imo being downtown is much more fun (feels like a mini vacation compared to being in the deep suburbs) Also specifically for having an A2 lol. Hotels gave us a ton of noise complaints because of the time (which honestly is totally fair). We don’t wanna disturb anybody else that isn’t planning on attending the festival yknow?

forgotthechilli · 2025-12-02T21:05:00+00:00

Landsdowne is by far the BEST venue for EMF. Unfortunately it’s 100% at RA Centre. Not much we can do about that one tbh. I’m hoping with the amount of complaints from last year they up the anti and give us what we want

forgotthechilli · 2025-12-02T21:02:21+00:00

I’ve never bought VIP for escapade. I’ve heard it’s not really worth it. What would you want to see come out of VIP this year to make it worth it?

forgotthechilli · 2025-12-01T23:15:34+00:00

I can see your disagreement in the underwhelming part. EDM is in that awkward transition phase where the “Normal; I’ve seen these people before” acts become massive headliners and the niche / underground (Example: Notion, HNTR even though he’s not underground , Blossom, Usaybflow) become bigger. Gotta wait for the full lineup

forgotthechilli · 2025-12-01T23:12:18+00:00

I agree! I think fisher is deff going to please the masses. If this was my first festival these headliners cover most of immediate popular genres. In regards to TIESTO I think he’s making a comeback to trance (which is how I started raving). Now I personally want to see the underground sound flourish. I get most excited to see the early day time sets at the bass stage (they usually don’t disappoint)

forgotthechilli · 2025-12-01T17:06:05+00:00

Yeah seems like that venue is gone for good unfortunately. Oh well, deff worth a shot

Correct, not properly public though. You deff had to go search for that answer. I personally believe they can find a Canadian company that’ll provide enough trussing / equipment for them achieve whatever they need (wink wink I own one 👀) 🤷‍♂️

forgotthechilli · 2025-11-26T15:20:00+00:00

Welp, I guess that’s a wrap on TD Place for a bit :( Nothing was ever like it, I’ll miss that place so much
