fiatmusica Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 while looking at the pure site (or as bird j calls it the "plur" site) I noticed a posting about US versions of the creamfields festival. So i went to www.cream.co.uk/creamfields and looked at the international info...which naturally has enough information on the liverpool version to make me want to call up my distant cousins in liverpool and tell them i'm crashing there in late august. Anyhow, there's nothing on the official sites with a complete line-up..I did find something saying that tickets go on sale 6/1...But someone posted this line-up on pure's site--I have no clue where they got it from:The New York (actually long island 9/1) line-up is:Fatboy Slim Crystal Method Orbital Stereo MC's Uberzone Richie Hawtin Pete Tong Timo Maas Darren Emerson Josh Wink Tall Paul John Aquaviva Max Graham Photek Scott Hardkiss Scott Henry DJ Feelgood Christian Smith Dub Pistols DJ Dara Scanty SandwichThe Las Vegas (9/29) line-up is:Fatboy Slim Crystal Method Orbital Stereo MC's Basement Jaxx Uberzone Richie Hawtin Bad Boy Bill DJ Dan Christopher Lawrence Pete Tong Josh Wink Darren Emerson Sandra Collins Donald Glaude Max Graham Adam Freeland Scott Hardkiss Scott Henry Photek Dave Ralph Dub Pistols Scanty SandwichSo...who's up for vegas?------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citybartender Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 I was going to say that the L.I. show sounded pretty cool but it's WAY out on the island. Real close to Gardiners Bay. At least an hour from Islip airport.

fiatmusica Posted June 6 Author Report Share Posted June 6 Someone posted this press release on the pure site. Couldn't find anything on the web about this though. The site mekka.com is a placeholder--possible tour site.Anyhow this one comes to the chi-town area on sat 8/25 (I'm backing the weekend date bigtime). Nothing on venue or tickets yet & doesn't look like there will be for a few weeks. _______________________________________________________________________________________Paul Oakenfold, Mix Master Mike, Carl Craig among other artists to join electronic music tour. The world's top tier of electronic music artists — including the Crystal Method, Paul Oakenfold, Danny Tenaglia, Armand Van Helden, BT and Roni Size — will gather in August for a 10-city North American tour called Mekka. The outing, which kicks off August 4 in Montreal and wraps up September 2 in Los Angeles, will celebrate the launch of Mekka, a global entertainment company focused on the promotion and development of electronic music culture, according to the tour's publicist. Acts from various genres of electronic music will be represented, from hip-hop to techno to drum'n'bass to trance. Deep Dish, LTJ Bukem, Mix Master Mike, Sandra Collins and Junior Sanchez are among Mekka's other top names. Several hip-hop acts will be announced later this month.Mekka will include a rare live set by Detroit techno legend Carl Craig. BT, the Crystal Method, the New Deal and Ãœberzone will also be performing live. Working the many turntables on the tour will be DJs Jimmy Van M, Derrick Carter, DJ Rap, Doc Martin, Dave Ralph, Stacey Pullen, Christopher Lawrence, Dieselboy, Mark Farina, DJ Craze, DJ Dan, Terry Mullan, Bad Boy Bill, Misstress Barbara, Andy C, DJ Hype, Grooverider and Mr. C.Halo and Hipp-E of the Chicago DJ collective H-Foundation, who will also be spinning at Mekka, and Sanchez will mix separate CD compilations in conjunction with the tour. Release dates have not been announced. The tour will be the summer's third major tour featuring electronic music. Moby, Oakenfold, Carl Cox, the Orb, Timo Maas and others will be part of the Area: One tour on July 11 in Atlanta (see "Area: One Festival's Details Come Into Focus"), while Perry Farrell's Jubilee festival, headlined by Jane's Addiction, is also expected to feature top DJs and producers (see "Jane's Addiction Touring In August"). Details for that tour have not been released, though publicists for several electronic music stars, including Size, have said they have been invited to join the outing. Mekka will be held in outdoor venues, such as large fields and fairgrounds. Venues will be announced at a later date. The artists will perform on multiple stages and in tents. Mekka, the company, will specialize in artist management, wireless applications, magazine publishing and music distribution and publishing.Mekka Tour dates, according to the tour's publicist: 8/4 - Montreal, QC 8/5 - Toronto, ON 8/8 - Dallas, TX 8/10 - Jacksonville, FL 8/11 - Miami, FL 8/18 - New York, NY 8/25 - Chicago, IL 8/30 - Seattle, WA 9/1 - San Francisco, CA 9/2 - Los Angeles, CA------------------This is the best part of the trip.
