\"\"
The sign now says The Vanguard<\/em> but most of us know it simply as Firestone<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Gutted and completely renovated, we arrived shortly after the 10PM opening to find a crowd already growing and the best we could do was standing in row 2. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The opener was DJ Butler (USA) and we really enjoyed his set. He would combine both old and new EDM songs with Dubstep and DnB vibes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Which had the overall young crowd “head-banging” to DnB as if we were back at last’s week’s Forbidden Kingdom <\/em>music festival.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Still a little bit of capacity in there but it was filling quickly on this sold-out show.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There was already a shift change taking place at 10:45PM. Sad to see Butler leave.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Up next, DJ Shinobi (USA). <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
His set was rather odd. We know openers are not supposed to step on any of the headliner’s toes but his set was all over the place and rarely gave a hint that this was supposed to be a night of Drum & Bass.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A lot of people but overall kind of quiet. He had ask the audience more than once, “Orlando, let me hear some fuckin’ noise!”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Was hoping there would be only two openers but we got a third at 11:45PM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Pocket. (GB)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
His set was better than the last guy, IMO, but not by a whole lot. At least some of his tunes were DnB with a pre-recorded MC providing narration.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Wall-to-wall as the magic hour approached.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Speaking of MC’s, we had earlier run into one of the nation’s best: MC Collaborator (USA) spotted here with Stephanie. They should have had him up there on stage to liven things up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And then at 1AM, there they<\/s> he were<\/s> was: DJ duo Chase & Status (GB).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We didn’t get a DJ duo, we got one of them. I think we got Chase but as is typical at The Vanguard<\/em>, they keep it so dark it was hard to tell. This was the best pic we could get, lol. But he delivered a Jungle sound that most everyone came to hear.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Looking at their tour schedule, we see that Chase & Status plays tonight at a music festival in Italy and at a club in Dallas. Apparently, if you can play in two places thousands of miles apart on the same date, you can double your income. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Packed to the rafters.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The lasers began flying.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
From the mumbling around me on the floor to reading Facebook <\/em>this morning, there was disappointment that we did not get Chase & Status in full.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28234,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1899],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-reports"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSCN4365-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7OlZE-7l9","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28219"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28219\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28247,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28219\/revisions\/28247"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/28234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
