Is $15 dollars a lot of money to you that the decision to spend it is possibly life changing?

lol

I might go, I might not.. probably won't buy early tickets tho.. so it'd actually end up being $20 if i decide to go.

I haven't seen them since the whole Magnetic Man thing took off, so I dunno what they are playing these days, but I've seen them both several times over the years and it was always a great great show, amazing vibes. The last show Benga didn't make it, so Skream played what seemed like 4 or so hours straight to make up for it, then hung out a bit after too. Fresh off the plane... could see how sleepy he was haha. Definitely worth the cash IMO, they are great guys who know how to work a crowd.

Buy the early ticket then if you decide not to go sell your ticket for a profit. I've seen skrenga a few times and don't really like what they play anymore but there's no doubt that they go hard when they perform!

I haven't seen Benga in about 3 years, although it was a great set then. The last time I saw Skream though (about 6 months ago) was absolutely horrendous. Even leaving aside the fact that I thought his tune selection was pretty poor, he wasn't even trying to mix, constant wheelups and stop/starts.

I don't know if he wasn't bothering because there wasn't much of a crowd, or whether there wasn't much of a crowd because he wasn't bothering, but either way it was a profoundly disappointing experience.

I dont think this is the case, maybe theyre not trying as hard as they used to, but if they couldnt be arsed, they would do a zomby and just not show up.

Skream still plays the odd wicked tune in his sets afaik, its definitely not an eyes down affair by any means, but its probably better than sitting at home wanking.

Well that`s good to hear.
I was just remembering days past when Diary of an Afro warrior came out.

It is quite weird their shows aren't very good.
Skream and Benga should be some of the artists with the best opportunities to get huge dubs from almost every producer in the scene. It's gonna be interesting to see if their Outlook shows are as bad as their normal ones - I hope they know their crowd and play some of the big tunes we all know they do have in their bags.

Skream and Plastician boat party sounds like some kind of insane punishment that I would do anything to avoid
