Dekmantel Festival 2015 (Autechre, Clark, Luke Vibert, Dopplereffekt, Squarepusher, etc.)

[Herr Jan]

30 JUL - 02 AUG

 

In previous years Dekmantel has always been in one place (Amsterdamse Bos) but now they are expanding to four locations across Amsterdam. The line-up is pretty amazing, and the first another (forgot about Bloc... and Sonar...) Autechre gig confirmation of 2015 is in!

 

This festival sells out incredibly quick because of its reputation of being the most hip / cool thing, but the line ups have always been incredible.

Hope I can get tickets just for Autechre (they will be playing at Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ), anything else is a bonus :)

[Lewps]

That's mental I'll make a kickstarter to bring this to Australia

[Herr Jan]

You'd have a better chance making a Kickstarter for a plane ticket to Amsterdam :)

 

These are only the first names announced btw, apparently there willl be 150 acts spread around four days on four locations!

[KovalainenFanBoy]

Autechre are playing at Sónar too

[Lewps]

yeah good idea i'll be taking peoples cash to fund my travelling AE adventure circus. i'll follow the line up and see who else ends up on the list.

[chenGOD]

Fuck that's an amazing lineup. So many conflicting time slots I bet.

[Soloman Tump]

Yeah pretty sweet lineup.

 

Then I looked at the small print lineup and what happened next blew my mind

[manmower]

Yeah amazing program but I'll never convince anyone to go with me.

[Herr Jan]

Previous editions sold out within a few hours, so keep that in mind :)

When do they go onsale? I clicked on buy tickets but it lead to a blank page.

Damn, I just went to check when they would go on sale, apparently it already started! *puts the AE gig in basket*

 

Maybe try another browser? They use some flashy embedded paysystem thingy (no expert on the matter).

[Richie Sombrero]

Sound, yeah it was a browser issue.

 

Need to confirm with gf if she wants to go, but won't see her for a couple of hours.

 

Decisions!

[Herr Jan]

They are already on sale for a couple of days now apparently, I think you can hold it out for a few more hours I guess :) looks like Dekmantel really upped their capacity this year!

[Richie Sombrero]

Bought tickets, really excited, haven't been to a festival since Exit in 2010.

 

Cheers for the heads up, the line-up is fantastic.

[Guest]

bought ticket for AE at ijgebouw

 

there's talk in the chatmm's that this will turn into a meeting of some sorts. all are welcome ofcourse

the line-up is insanity though. big up for dekmantel

[Herr Jan]

Yeah, I'm up for it! In just for the Autechre night :)

[BobDobalina]

Jaysus that's an insane lineup, I's jelly!!!

(nvm Amsterdam being one of my favourite cities to visit )

 

Monolake, Actress, Clark, Robert Hood, Shackleton, Machinedrum... in SMALL PRINT ffs

 

What I never got about posters like this though is how certain artists are tagged "live," what exactly is the criteria for that? Are we to gather that four tet's set will consist of a lifesize cardboard cutout and CDR flanked by an interpretive puppet performance or something?

Go alone!

It mostly boils down to ' as opposed to just DJ'ing (other peoples) tracks', so the artist is playing his own stuff with prepared patterns etc. an/or plays on live gear.

[datastream]

I extended my european trip when I saw this lineup. Seriously unreal that this is just the daytime program, though I doubt i'll have any energy for the night events looking at how stacked that is currently.

[juiceciuj]

looks like amsterdam's vers of moogfest. they basically take over every venue in asheville nc for about 5 days. it's mostly speaking engagements and workshops during the day tho and music at nite

 

also most of the venues in asheville are shit

Ah, okay I can see that. I guess Madlib's appearance is the only one that needed to be qualified a a "dj-set" since he's the only hiphop artist headlining - maybe people would otherwise have no idea what to expect...

[Guest]

How fast do the tickets to Dekmantel usually sell out? I don't yet know where I'll be when this is going on.

Like I said in OP, the festival sold out really fast last couple of times BUT they were a lot smaller previous years. Spreading it out over four days and a lot of locations this time really helps, so I honestly can't say about when they will be gone. I wouldn't wait too long though...

 

And nice you've got tickets for the whole thing PhoeniS, don't think I'll be able to join the other dates tho :(
