I remember you mentioning it! irish is da man!! (or is he psychic?) Naw, he's just... connected!

whats up with the 21st in NY soprano/

i have been reading this forum for months now waitng and waiting to speak up. getting more and frustrated everyday. and better yet jealous of not living in europe. finally.. i hope this NY thing might be true cuz i cant make it to LA. oh my please someone with info. SPILL YOUR GUTS because google says nothing to me no matter which i spell it.

Hey Rukes, no one was calling you a liar, it's just that, in my experience, insomniac fliers have a way of lying through their teeth... I seem to remember a Nocturnal Wonderland out in indio that promised free, on-site camping that was completely untrue, so I'm not impressed with them. Maybe they're better now, but I gotta see it to believe it.

Indio? That must have been like 10 years ago :)

Yeah, it was in 2000.

I've been doing this for a long, long time, like 16 years... that's why I don't always believe fliers... I've read "100% Bust Free Virgin Location", "All DJs Are Confirmed" or "Professional Security" waaaaay too many times ;)

Congrats to all stateside fans! Been a long time coming but you just KNOW it will have been worth the wait!

:)

takesumtime, I will be keeping my fingers crossed for the NY date. What we heard from a little bird who came around yesterday, US dates should be announced within the next 2 weeks or so.

Yeah Rukes, that Nocturnal Wonderland was in 2000. I'm pretty sure it was one of the 1st Nocturnal Massives? It wasn't as well coordinated as it could have been, but in all fairness it was a new thing, new location and the sleepy retirement town of Indio is pretty stringent when it comes to stuff like that. So the shortcomings back then are forgivable, absolutely.

I remember one of the things that was touted as being a + for the Nocturnal 2000 was the free camping. I had some friends who we met up with and they had all their camping gear ready to go. It turns out that the massive promotors didn't get clearance from Indio (or Indio changed their mind at the last minute which is more likely the case) and all the campers were turned away by cops - no camping allowed. It left a lot of people stranded, a lot of people who drove for hours out to the venue. I felt so bad for them - but I didn't let it wreck my good time. ;)

I am positive Nocturnal 2007 is going to be off the hook. I mean, we've got the Chems! Downtown, smack dab in the city is going to be an awesome setting. I can't ask for anything more!

I know I'm prying here, but do you know if Nocturnal will be held in the downtown area like where the Bonaventure hotel is?

All I know is what's on the flyer and posted on Insomniacs website for now...

Downtown LA has lots of places including the Giant Village area (near the Bonaventure where Giant Village will be in a few weeks for Armin Only), but so is the LA Coliseum and the area around it where EDC is being held tomorrow.

YAAAYY FOR US!

Chemicals are nice boys :)

I hope it's downtown... party in our room at the bonaventure if it is.

I'll bring the recreational pharmaceuticals, they bring the musiq.

a good time will be had by all.

are u kids for real? if i'd be stash n whirly i'd be dancing all over this thread, the world and everything; if i ever gotta hear something like this happening that'd i'd finally be going to, after waiting so long SO bad! am very happy for both of n all the yank superstars in here - it's happened faster than most expected!

congrats! have a blastt! :)

S n W - Hope brother junior gets to see his first chems show too, in the year of the seven.

seven deadly sins - that's be a nice name for the next album on a very side note.

I freaked out when I saw this thread and have had little sugar plum fairies of happiness dancing in my head since I heard the news, haha. Best news I've heard in months. Months, I say!!

stash and I went on a pub crawl last night and the topic of "CHEMS IN LA!!!!!" came up quite a few times.

Thank you to all who are excited for us and the U.S. about the news of the Chemical Brothers coming to Los Angeles! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

the cool thing if I go to this is not only will I probably meet up with you southern cal forumers, I'll probably get to meet up with my new friends I made at Coachella as well...

I am so fucking stoked for this show. ::HERE'S TO MY SECOND SHOW ON THIS TOUR!!!!::

Ticket sales for Nocturnal have been postponed...more headlining:

Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!! WAiTiN'!

I read somewhere that Nocturnal was gonna take place at the Colliseum (like EDC did)...All I'm hoping is that it will be an outdoor event...Last Monster Massive was indoors at the LA Sports Arena, and it was not a pleasant experience. Besides almost having a heat stroke, that place was so packed that we looked like Sardines in a can. Anyway, unfortunetely Daft Punk is playing at LA Sports Arena this weekend, yet I'm still excited to go see them. Anyone else here going?

Ooooh, I hope it's outdoors. I really, really do. I've only ever seen a Chems live gig outside and it's really hard for me to imagine a set indoors without the building being freshly earthquake retro-fitted.

The Colliseum is an immense place, though. I haven't been inside there since 1987 (to see U2). It's fuckin' enormous. Maybe the city will light up the Olympic torch for Tom and Ed, hehehe!

This is where I read that it is gonna take place at the Colliseum:

Whirly...check out the pictures that Rukes took from EDC, especially the ones from the main stage (inside the Colliseum)...The other stages were located around and outside the Colliseum...The Bros have to bring their biggest screens for some stadium rockin' beats and visuals haha:

Also, check out how the stages were set up for EDC, maybe is a preview of how Nocturnal will be since both are thrown by Insomniac:

Oh man, I'm getting excited again as in the day this was announced haha...And I think I'm way over the top with this right now haha...
