Hey guys is the fest over or still playing ? I wanna hear impressions from someone who went (because i wanted all summer to go,didn't gather the money though but 3 days before the fest started i found an Aurora flyer and because i didn't had it because of very limited flyer distribution I picked it up,as I read it sitting in the metro station I noticed a small piece of paper falling out off the last page...what was it???An Aurora presale ticket.like fate wanted me to go or something.But still I didn't had time to get atleast the minimum ammount of money required for me to go so I sold it last minute .And I'm very curious what was it like. |

just came back to base ..
well i can tell you i had great time there
i heard very good music
i have meet beautiful smiley people
from all around the globe ..
its true .. there was a delay in the begining
its true .. some artists like talamaska, bamboo forest ,and sadly , U-recken
but 90% present of the artists were there
gave us their best
friendly people
nice communion
no problems ..like fights , steals , police
There were 2 breaks .. in friday and saturday noon
the reason was to prepare the stage for the night ..
I came back with very good memories
aurora crew made a great festival
maybe next year learn from the mistakes
and make it even better

well just got back from the festival,it still going on till the night I think.I had great time there,many friends around and familiar persons from Europe that met last year at Sonica,realy liked that thing.Too bad that I see some childish moves from organization according to some previous posts here.I have to say that this was the best festival that took place in Greece since Samothraki 2003.The main stage was amazing and artists like Heardroom,Zen Mechanics,Hallucinogen,Tristan,Logic Bomb,AMD,Flip Flop (what a blast!!!  ) and sure many others that I don't remember because of the mess with timetable.My big complain is the chill out stage.We have to learn in Greece that chill out stages at foreign festivals are such important as the main stages which means : Very good and loud soundsystem-very poor sound at chill stage,A big tent providing a big shade during the daytime-There were some trees and a chaishop but sure they didn't worked as the sound was not enough loud and those trees were a little far,last about the music almost all the Greeks that I had the chance to listen played something like a tribute to Entheogenic and all those comercial chill out,there are and other music styles that could be played like dub,dubstep,breakbeat,idm,minimal/deep techno...anyway Younger Brother's dj set was one of the highlights of the festival.

I return to my base too 
when I start my journey to the fest area
I had doubts but the organizers suprized me
so the good things I saw are that
most of the artists came for the live sets and played great music
very good soundsystem
very good decoration, the camping area
is VERY big with toilets and showers
I found fountains with water in evey corner,
few but nice stores with food and clothes,many ppl from around the world with smiley faces and happy attidute and the good for me is that I saw many big ppl in age but still young in brain 
and now the bad things xmm sometimes they mess up the timetable,the security most of the time are quite but when they speak are the classic gidia they don't even know how to speak and treat to party ppl
and for the chill stage it had a very good vibe and energy but it needs a better setup

Good Morning My Friends!!!
Just return from the fest!
The chill out stage had stopped at around 03:00 o'clock in the morning cause the "people responsible for the sound system" didnt allow to play any longer and the music continued till the time I left , in front of chai shop ... See Ya party ppl Outhere...

I also just returned from the festival (:()
Well I almost agree with some of you and I also disagree with some of you 
I found the orginization in a medium to low level.
If someone thinks
that there was no preparation needed concerning the camping area
(facilities like toilets, kiosks, showers where allready there and not really clean)
I was expecting everything else to be just perfect.
Can someone tell me where exactly was the killer decoration???
because I've missed it.
It was something absolutely common, like a private small party.
Appart from the huge video wall and the big stage, nothing so exciting.
It's true that here was water everywhere and they could use it to do something with the dust in the main stage,
but there was no need to breath normally(was it?)
The chill out stage had an absolutely PERFECT line up and the stage manager (the sweet French Lady) gave her good vibe all over,
but there was nothing to sit on and no shadow providid also,
and that's a shame because the music was trully good
and in a pretty high artistic level
^^^^^^^^(smashing moment the Direct Connection live act******* thanks guys-and lady- for my best moment)^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The cancellations were few but the names were really important for trancers I think
Talamasca was one of the main reasons I decided to go at first place.
Anyway, I had a good time,
I am sure(and hope)that they can do better next year,
I only wish to see less cars between the trees
and less "civilization" all around.
I wanna thank all the other non-festivalish campers,
who were also smily all the time
and the artists who made the smile on my face pure in an inner level:
Direct Connection
Alcalica (because what happens around DOES matter)
Sphongle
Younder Brother
Hallucinogen
OTT
Quantum
Ear Sugar
Liquid soul
and many others that I will remember as the days go by and memories become clearer.
Take care everybody
P.S. It would be a good idea to provide the Security guys with masks or huddies just not to see ungry faces ready to barg and bite all the time,
it's ok,
it's your job,
you have to be like you are,
but all these are not mu fault,
discretion is a good thing!

Hmmm! So you mean by that,
that I am trying to spoil the image of the festival,
because I have to gain what????????
I was there and had fun,
I had a serious breathing problem with the dust in the main stage
and I really beleive it wasn't so hard to wet the dance floor every other hour.
I don't see an international festival like Aurora as a small greek festival that I have to accept everything.
I do agree that the cleaning ladies did their best in the toilets,
but still I can't say that it was clean, if that is a rumor that I am spreading, what can I say?
What I don't understand, is how some people,
read 30 lines and understand the 4 that are reffering to complaints and absolutely ignore all the positive aspects of a comment.
I am sorry for being honest and sharing my opinion, I'll try never do that again I promise!!
I ll just say everything perfecet, everything perfect and everybody is going to be happy.
PS: I would really appreciate it if all you people start respecting the orginisers of any party or festival and realize that what they are doing in Greece is huge! actually as big as in other countries.
By excusing someone for a medium-bad-hmmmm organization or result that has nothing to do with the authorities or the country, you just place Greece in the bottom yourselves!
What happened in Samothraki was a matter of Greece, what happened at Paggaion with Butterfly it was a matter of Greece, but the facts: too much dust in the main stage and nobody did smtng about that, no special deco, no tent in the chill out stage, no Talamasca, No Ace Ventura etc is a matter of organization, not Greece, and these are problems, misadventures that can happen everywhere.
Pls spit the fucking bonbon from your mouth, people do have responsibilities...
Kisses everybody
Oh! and I am a she

elfish when orginizers get 100% support from all the people mabe then they can do huge things not when
every 1 lies and says bad things and doesnt respect
there try, its easy to get something done u need
all the help u can get and suport then u have power
and u do it perfect , its logic , get all people to help out with out saying all the time and waisting energy in bla bla and ul see magic in greece in festivals.
