| I brought Above & Beyond to Atlanta for their first show here on a Friday back when it was Eleven50. The thing is that it can be done. The problem is that the bigger clubs dont necessarily want that type of EDM in on their big weekend nights where they are going to have a much more mainstream crowd there. Yes the artists are cheaper during the week but thats not always the reason for having them in during the week and IMO Liquified does a good job getting the right DJ's in the at right venues. Its too bad we dont have a big club in Atlanta that consistently wants to support good dance music. |

They were relatively unknown at that point. Anyone could have brought them in here at that point in time so don't flatter yourself.
They're a top 5 act right now and have been for the past couple of years. Try bringing them on a Friday night now.
Atlanta HAD a great dance club for a while that was great for EDM - WETbar.
The problem in Atlanta is that promoters / club owners get greedy and / or have to find new ways of making more money or just trying to stay afloat.
All these club "closures" where they re-open under a new name is bull. It's always so incredibly short-lived, then it just becomes a very vicious cycle.
The Mark is a prime example of epic failure and Opera, if it continues its ways, will be the demise of EDM in Atlanta. Period. |

No one is flattering them self. The point that you apparently missed is that it "IS" possible to bring top talent on weekends but that the bigger clubs are not going to consistently support something like that on a weekend night nowadays. They dont have to invest X thousands of dollars to bring in a headlining act when they have a good crowd there for a more mainstream night. WetBar was a good club but there again lies that fact the people who want to see major talent on a weekend were not coming out in the #'s to keep the night thriving and if they were, there just is not enough of them. |

Prompters in Atlanta just don't have the money to bring big name trance acts to Atlanta on the weekend on a REGULAR basis.

The point you're making isn't valid. Charlotte had Gareth Emery and is going to have Markus Schulz on the 20th and both are Friday events.
The problem is that everyone in Atlanta goes out to clubs on weekends just to go out. It doesn't matter who is playing music or what kind of music it is.
I suggest if you want to see trance on a weekend to drive to Charlotte. Oh and the Forum is a ing awesome venue.

Definitely.

Wetbar had to close because they started having non-gay nights there and the gay community stopped supporting them. |

I have actually put a lot of thought into going to Charlotte since they've been getting names like Gareth Emery, who's one of my favorites at the moment.
And I'm putting serious consideration into going to see Markus... |
