As someone unfamiliar with the majority of the names on the lineup - who would you say are the absolute "must see" acts.

Also - whats the likelihood of hearing any Acid Techno at Glade? Slim to none?

get yourself to the Vapour Stage mate, its an all-nite techno party that doesn't start til midnite - good chance of hearing some aceeeeeeed, i'd say yes

my top tips are Atomic Hooligan vs Jay Cunning, BongRa, Scotch Egg and the Osaka Invasion crew, Clarke, CtrlZ, and i think Deekline's going b2b with 30hz??

Also get yourself to the FW meet on Thursday and find the freakiest freaks of all Wink

Origin Stage all day really, but definatly:
Laughing Buddha - Origin stage 18:00 to 19:15
Dickster - Origin stage 20:30 to 21:45

Far too Loud - 23:00 Liquid stage

Jeff Mills - 02:00 Vapor stage

SUNDAY

Jeff mills

JEFF MILLS

don't think there are any out and out acid techno DJs on the bill, though that's not to say none will be played. Vapor stage is the place to be, obv, but also check out Sancho Panza where, among others, Mr C is playing his 'techno for girls'...
