Jeff Mills / Juan Atkins playing in Adelaide!?!

I happened to pick up a copy of Rip It Up today and got excited when I read Jeff Mills and Juan Atkins are playing in Adelaide (separate dates). However I'm shocked by the ~$60.00 ticket price for Jeff Mills. Does anyone know anything about the set? Is he playing 3 hours? I can't even find any info/price on the Juan Atkins event.

Both acts have been booked by Sugar, Jeff Mills playing Friday 7th June and Juan Atkins playing Saturday 13th July.

And people complained about $44 for Derrick May & Ben Klock in a special venue! #Sheesh

Seeing Jeff Mills in a club can be pretty spesh though. My Motor City party with Mills at Traffic in 2004 was the business!

Yes it was!

Considering it was two internationals (and one being Derrick May) + awesome sound system, I didn't think that was a steep price. I just thought one international for $60 was a bit steep, but I got over it about 10 minutes later :)

I do remember Traffic 2004, I can't believe it's been nearly ten years! I still have that tour t-shirt (somewhere).

I'm really looking forward to Atkins, one artist on my list that I have always wanted to see.

Here's the link for the info on Juan Atkins

Apparently Funk D'Void playing the night after Juan Atkins, also at Sugar!

Nice

balls, fucking balls.

I can't go :( I'm away.

Jeff Mills alludes me AGAIN :mad:

Thanks for the link Ravin!

Just read he's doing a 5 hour set tonight!

:-D

Yeah just read that as well, very keen for it. He's on at 12 apparently and sugar has an extended licence so I guess he's on 12-5.

I thought he might have started earlier because their facebook page says from 10:30. I don't know if I can last till 5am :meh:

*edit* Oh I'm wrong, it wouldn't let me click on the event this morning. Well that means I can fit in an energy nap! :)

Thanks to those who all came out and danced. Jeff Mills was $60 due to his asking price, i won't say what it was but i can say we made pretty much nothing that night, if not a loss and we sold out of tickets aswell!

All we hoped for was that people had a good night ;)

Yeah I imagine it wouldn't have been cheap.... He was $50-60 in Melbourne with 1000 tickets sold... In a venue that is just a wee bit bigger then Sugar :geek:

I saw some photos on Facebook, it looked mental. Kinda wish I'd came back for it....

Hopefully the second show at Liberty Social over here will have that small gig vibe...

Was a very good show, Jeff Mills was pretty relentless for those 5 hours. Well done to Sugar for putting on a top night even though it didn't necessarily place them in the best financial position.
Keen for Atkins now.

Sad news for this weekend, techno fans:

"We are sad to announce that Juan Atkins will not be able to perform due to a severe case of food poisoning that has left him hospitalised. His condition is improving, however his doctor has said that he is not ready to be released in time for his Australian shows. We hope Juan a full recovery. We're working hard to finalise new dates in October which we will announce soon. Stay Tuned."

:-0 {:-(

That sucks, I was looking forward to this saturday night.

Hmm that is weird, i saw that Sugar posted something on their page (that had "not to be released" or words to that extent under it) which said he was having diabetes issues and has just started dialysis and his doctor recommended he didn't go etc etc.

either way it sucks the fat ones, sure was looking forward to it

Anyone know if he's rescheduling?

I believe they're trying...

Rescheduling can be a pretty lengthy process, as they need to lineup 4 capital cities for the tour.

When Nick Curly cancelled, it took us 8 months to reschedule!
