    Just booked my ticket for Life 2012. Brilliant festival last year. Missed out on the early-bird tickets but if you book before March 1 you will still get a discounted price.
    No line-up details but tbh for me it's all about the crowd. Having said that John Digweed played last year and brought the house down. A real old school set (I thought anyway although others disagreed) which brought me back a few years. Love this festival. Bring it on!!
    Anyone else going?

    Im going, cant wait. Unbelievable festival- most pleasant/ peaceful one I've ever been to. However, slightly worried that as oxygen is cancelled this year, the crowd you usually find there, will filter into all the smaller festivals :(

    Expect the line up to be brilliant, Vitalic was epic last year.:D

    I was there last year and I thought the crowd were really pleasant. Didn't see any trouble but heard lots of stories. There was apparently a big fight outside the Techno tent on Saturday night and some lad lost it on the campsite on Sunday night.

    Booking acts like Vitalic, Dr. Lektroluv and Digweed doesn't help.

    It was three 6 hour shifts, you should email Paul Halpin through Facebook he is the Life Volunteers Co-ordinator, you can also apply online through the Life website once they announce, it could be a month yet before there is any details about line up etc. http://life-festival.com/lifefestival2012/#!/?page_id=285

    Well last year was my first year going. There were a few dodgey charecters, but no hassel from them, from what i saw anyway.

    But I suppose every festival has its trolls. Just hope there isint a huge increase this year.

    Well lads, I asked the life crowd for a clue to the line-up today on their FB page and this was the reply:

    "As soon as it;s ready, But think more on the lines of the previous Life festivals than the last ones (hint)"

    I too would be a little concerned that all the smaller festivals will be infested with knackers because there's no Oxegen. Went to Knockanstockan last year and a group of about 15 of them cause some serious ****. Heard Life was rough last year as well. That's what you get with a line-up like last year.

    First of the line up announced only three acts but still something: Ace Ventura, Kryptic Minds, Planetary Assault Systems. I got an email today from the festival.

    I was at knockanstockan last year too, and was camped right beside that particular group. They recked the buzz completely, but they recked the buzz so much they got kicked out the 2nd day:D Hopefully life festival will do the same if theres proper trolls wandering around causing trouble.

    I'd love to know your thoughts on whether the knackers will be attracted by the line-up this year?

    I have no idea what type of music they like but with no Oxygen this year I fear there may be quite a few. I hope they choose EP but unfortunately I expect to see a few at Life.

    I doubt if they'll be attracted by this line-up but I'd say EP are in for a shock this year as it's the next biggest name in the festival calendar so they'll probably gravitate towards that. :(

    Heading this tomorrow straight after work for Friday and Sat. Bringing the campervan and with this weather it should be amazing!

    Being 100% honest, I have never even heard of any of the DJs on the line up. I'm into Dirty Dutch, Electro House and Trance and there doesnt seem to be any DJs playing for these genres. Or am I wrong? Could anyone tell me will any DJs be playing anything like that or is it all just Techno, House and Psytrance?

    Thanks:)
