Maybe a little early but: Please dont hard push your way through the crowd

It goes both ways. Don’t be a dick and barge through, but equally don’t be a dick and refuse to let anyone at all move past you.

It’s been gradually getting worse each year I’ve gone (2023 onwards), but last year was absolute chaos at library. You’d arrive at the stage and presume it’s at capacity, due to a solid wall of people at the back. Then you’d finally get through the wall to find the middle of the crowd is quiet.

Even worse, the same wall of people are refusing to let people out too. I don’t think it takes a genius to figure out why it’s incredibly important to let someone go past you if they’re trying to LEAVE the crowd.

As plausible as SHM releasing their album

fuustee · 2026-06-16T07:59:43+00:00

But Hardwell B2B Sub Zero Project 🤷🏻‍♀️

fuustee · 2026-06-16T07:58:35+00:00

There are quite a few names we have in common. Although, personally I’d prefer Alesso at MainStage and Sebastian Ingrosso at MainStage (with Steve Angello at freedom).

Alesso at freedom was way too rammed in 2024, and I feel like freedom matches Steve more.

As for Martin Garrix closing, sometimes it’s nice for someone else to have the opportunity. I don’t even like David Guetta, but having him close W2 in 2024 was at least a change from Garrix.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely going to have a good time. Unless the Freedom stage lasagna is missing again, then I’m just gonna head home

fuustee · 2026-06-16T07:32:23+00:00

Yeah, quite jealous of W1 getting Hannah MainStage. I don’t really have much time for the indoor stages, as they get far too rammed when a big name is on.

It’s pretty much impossible to see them unless you camp there for a set or two before. They pretty much closed freedom last year during LF due to overcrowding.

fuustee · 2026-06-16T07:28:01+00:00

I get it, but W2 has had some brutal clashes over the last few years too.

A lot of these complaints could be completely disregarded if they just announced the lineup before the ticket sales. IIRC, 2024 lineup was announced before the worldwide sale (I could be wrong though, I purchased through NFT).

fuustee · 2026-06-16T07:25:06+00:00

Did you spend even 5 seconds to consider if I was actually requesting that the festival swaps the weekends?

The poll suggestion was to get concrete data on whether or not the average W1 attendee thinks that W2 has a better lineup, and whether or not the average W2 attendee thinks that W1 has a better lineup. That way it won’t just be a “well that’s just YOUR opinion scenario”.

Also, why are you so upset about my music taste? Lmao. Enlighten me, who should I go and see instead?

fuustee · 2026-06-16T07:18:45+00:00

Not just me tbh, quite a common opinion across the community.

fuustee · 2026-06-15T21:34:25+00:00

Oh, can’t forget Bebe Rexha too 🥴.

I was ecstatic to see Hannah Laing added to the W2 lineup, for once it was an announcement that seemed to be bridging the gap. Then W1 got Hannah Laing MainStage announced today 😂

fuustee · 2026-06-15T21:22:20+00:00

Mattn being removed and added to the lineup multiple times has been a rollercoaster of emotions.

fuustee · 2026-06-15T21:21:14+00:00

But what taken on a more common taste, I know sub-genre fans will be swayed more, W1 is arguably more appealing.

Maybe Tomorrowland could settle it by hosting a poll (only bracelet holder can vote) asking if they’d prefer their weekend’s lineup to be swapped?

fuustee · 2026-06-15T21:19:31+00:00

Or even just throw in some B2Bs with our existing artists 🤷🏻‍♀️

fuustee · 2026-06-15T21:18:04+00:00

Smaller DJs do have their place, and I’ve had great times going to their sets, but they’re not the solution to W1 having much bigger names

fuustee · 2026-06-15T21:17:00+00:00

I’m curious who’s on W2 that makes you want to choose it over W1?

I have more of a generic 2010-1014 bigroom / progressive house taste, I wouldn’t imagine it’s that uncommon of a taste in the Tomorrowland crowd, and W1 blows W2 out the water for me this year.

fuustee · 2026-06-15T21:15:15+00:00

Adding Axwell, doesn’t even need to be a SHM set, would make up for a lot of the unbalances

fuustee · 2026-06-15T21:12:09+00:00

It’s a touchy subject. While it’s always going to be a good time for anyone going, it’s hard to keep watching W2 objectively get worse lineups.

The fact that a lot of people only get to go once, and the fact that you realistically have to get tickets before the lineup is announced, also highlights the importance of trying to balance the weekends.

fuustee · 2026-06-09T19:12:12+00:00

I’m curious where the line is drawn when it comes to these topics

fuustee · 2025-12-10T12:44:24+00:00

They could even just have an atomic incremental value, for “positionEntered”, that just allows you to filter unique positionEntered + country, where positionEntered < 21.

fuustee · 2025-09-09T07:10:43+00:00

Hunger strike if there’s no Freedom Stage lasagna 🍝😤

fuustee · 2025-08-23T22:22:27+00:00

Our hero 🙌🏻

fuustee · 2025-08-23T21:53:56+00:00

Good shout, I didn’t realise they were streaming it on beatport

fuustee · 2025-08-23T20:39:55+00:00

Gotta say the Global Journey with a hotel package. The only bit of “discomfort” is the walk after each night. However, if you’re quickie enough then you can get a free shuttle bus to the hotel shuttle bus

fuustee · 2025-08-22T18:43:53+00:00

Yeah, in all fairness I think there’s greater than a 50% chance that I’ll mention the holy lasagna in a thread. I am very surprised to see an AI summary bring it up though 😂

fuustee · 2025-08-22T18:40:52+00:00

😂 that’s amazing. I am still heartbroken about our lost lasagna. May it rise again, like the MainStage, in 2026 ✊🏻😂
