Right,i feel i have to jump in here and say something..i don't actually visit these kind've forums any more as i am constantly shocked at certain people who do nothing but sit there moaning and criticising every event that comes along,without,i am sure,an ounce of sense or knowledge of the actual workings of them...yes,this and that happened,things were changed,and so what? You were till getting 5 days of constant entertainment over 2 stages in a really gorgeous place...with no sound limitations..compare that to the majority of festivals we get here,three days in the rain and mud with music finishing around midnight after spending the last couple of hours at reduced volumes! What Teo and the guys lack in experience,they make up for in enthusiasm and passion for what they do..i think some people have a pretty dumb idea of what these kind of promoters are like..you seem to think because the ticket price seems high to you,or your shade was not in the right place,that the promoters don't care,and are all ready to run off on a luxury holiday straight after the festival to sit counting wads of cash....NOT SO! These things are very often run to the wire with budgets,plus unforseen things can add further to that..the guys were trying their damnest to sort everyone out..hard to believe for some people,but promoters like this are actually wanting the same as you...to have a wonderful party with good music and good people in a beautiful location..and if it wasn't for people like this,that actually get up off their arses and chase a dream,then none of us would be out partying at all..i know some of you are probably thinking,'oh,its all right for him,he's in a well known band and had it easy',but i can assure you i had my own fair share of problems..i aint going into it here cos it don't matter,but the reason i soldiered through it and kept faith,was because i have always found the greeks to be happy,positive,big hearted people and great fun to be around..the guys running around in the background to make it all happen were amazing,the drivers,the stage crews,sound guys,all of them stayed positive and determined to make it all happen..and i bet most of them did it for peanuts,i know as many of my friends work at these kinda things..anyway,i thought i would say this before certain people come steaming in and rip the whole thing to pieces...''sometime's,we fall short of our expectations,but at least we bloody tried.....''

my exact thoughts merv - thank you for putting them into words.. and yes, i also need to extend a greeting to the drivers of the festival.. you guys drive for 6 days straight - with little or no sleep - yet you stay positive and make sure everyone are enjoying themselves. thank you thank you!

Well said BUT there are some 2-3 things that should have been better for the festival's sake!Every year it should be better and better.Anyways i had a very very good time.I liked most of the music,danced a lot.met many nice people i lost some of the days since i arrived on Friday..
Please next year try to low the price a bit..Its a lot of money and many people did not come for that reason..Many of us didnt have the luxury to decide early to go or not to go..
Thanx for the nice festival and once again the nice memories.
We had many surpises from some artists.BIM,Audiomatic,audiomatrix,Ephedrix,Laughing budha,Ibojima,E-Mov(not a surprise-also last year they played sooo good)rocked the place!a BIG bravo to them and many other artists.
Ok,enough..if i start i will not stop!! 
Great music(most of it-at night was a bit too dark for me)
Thanx once again..see u next year(?)

Euxaristo aurora people.
Merv you are great as your music mon. each word you write show that. i hope we meet in israel and in our music . was an honor to play after you . i dream of Dub static versions
thanks the people that support alternative music as well.
was nice to meet so many nice people after so long time on the internet and to put a face to the words...
the chill out stage was just great. i really enjoyed and i think that it had really great moment & vibes.
cheers for all ultimae music- was totally great and the people are beautiful and amazing as well as their sound  cheers vince- you got a great family( and i mean in personal and the label as well), great music by solar fields, i awake, cbl and all the rest of the crew.
nova you the mon. thank you for your great vibes(and nice food). for sure we going to make some food in the future taj mate, i am happy to see you are a casanova cheers for that and for your vibes i hope we meet again soon. gaudi music is just great. to see an artist know how to make people move - it was a really spiritual emotional moment
alkan - euxaristo to you and your family- cheers. Simon b was great , really nice music and a great dj and i hope to see him again in the future. was a lot of variety of styles on the chill stage but still was all connected and that says a lot for the vibes of it. thanks haris - was nice to meet you also if was for short time
on the main -i was most of the time in the alternative stage but from what i heard i liked the day of quantize, sun tree and ritmo, and most of the other days it looks like people had funn there so i just can say that the legs speak by them self and if not ... you can see it.
the place was nice. big place with a lot of space. sea even if not so clean still good to jump in for relax, and well i just can say cheers and i wish good luck for next time.
i know people got issues and and it is ok to have it , just think positive.

Hi All,
Been to festival from friday to tuesday morning, due to work i was tired and so i participated the acts during saturday morning-evening, sunday night and monday noon till the end. Imo the tunage at those days was proper pumping trance that made the feet move with ease.
Like last year the camping spaces and the water facilities were enough, i found shade even if i came late
This year they had an all day long, serving company, with food that was cheap, also lots of fruit serving booths, chai shops, prices at the main shop were ok and also a second chill out location to watch the planet rotating, hahaha.
Brilliant sound, scent and colors floating in the air, made the Moon stage something brought out of a fairy tale
Didnt have a timetable but i enjoyed mostly Saturday music at Sun stage.
All the artists i had the priveledge to watch, were happy to be there, dancing with their music and giving out so much positive vibes.I like when people enjoy what they do and where they are
At any given hour the main stage was full of marvelous dancing men and women, gathered from all places and walks of life.
Its something peculiar that some people go in one place and totaly enjoy themselves through dancing.
If you havent done it, if you havent been in a proper rave and enjoyed yourself with good tunes you dont know what am talking about.
It is a unparallel emotion (to dance and leave that place) and when the crowd moves as you do, you get the feeling of connectiveness (i get goosebumps everytime that happens).
That is the purpose of Festivals and Gatherings such as the Aurora. having a plethora of artists to choose the music to connect with the people of the same community
So in conclusion:
Gasoline from Athens to Asprovalta/tolls/food = 120euros
Ticket for 4d Festival = 100euros
The opportunity to to be in the same place with like-minded ppl and dance with them = PRICELESS
OM MANI PADME HUM |

i don't usually write in forums as well, but i really need to say that it was a great festival and i have been to quite a few all over europe, so pls stop spreading bad vibes..
anyway! i had a great time! i was there from last monday till this morning. clearly better orgnazised than last year's fest. great job!
meller, echotek, lish, midimal, galactica, sensifeel, logicbomb where simply amazing my favourite acts
inner state, krama, tristan, logicbomb, kolpgeister, ace ventura, ergorythmia, audiomatrix, laughing budha, progenitor, urecken, daydin where excellent
i expected a bit more from protoculture, andromeda and akd..
in general my hours at the dance floor where usually from 8 pm to 3 am.. and a couple of hours in the morning.. the structure of the lineup was perfect for my taste..i slept usually at night (it was a bit dark for my taste) and partied during the day.
the food was good, the security where very helpfull and friendly, the wc where respectably clean i must admit to my surprise..
as for the things i didn't like:
the deco. i expected something "wow" this year, and i would have liked a bit more shade too.
the dust, you needed a mask to go to the dancefloor.. maybe some more sprinklers next year.
at the chillout stage you could hear the sound from the main stage, i think the aurora team should consider some more sound for the chillout next year.
a bit more sound was needed at the main stage as well, at times the volume was really dreadfully low.
the collection of the garbage could have been better and more frequent.
the people where great, very nice vibe, we had a blast!!
c u next year people! and thanks for this great summer end! |
