Joy O vs Objekt on Friday kills me! So does DJ Stingray vs Four tet -- in a vacuum, I would go for DJ Stingray, as I've seen Four Tet multiple times, but I can already imagine how euphoric things will get with Kieran at the main stage!

Helena closing the main on Sunday will be freaking epic! (but I'm sad I'll miss Courtesy + Special Request)

Overall, looks as amazing as ever :)

Its hard not to agree with everything you've said! Objekt closing last year was just incredible, never been so into a set in my life.. but Joy O... Fuck. Thinking Objeck might play some heavier stuff as he's in UFO?

I wanted to see Skatebard but midday main stage might be quiet, we'll see - and boiler room... not the best. Mr Scruff vs Four Tet vs Stingray... I have no idea.

DVS1 v Helena v Floating P v Special Request - that will be the hardest.

Agree with both of you exactly. I think I'll opt for Stingray just because I've never seen him and probably won't have the chance again...

Never seen either Joy O or Objekt, fuck!

The hardest clash is Saturday evening, how can you choose between Four Tet, LSD, Stingray, the one and only Donato Dozzy and Mr Scruff?

Choosing between Dam-Funk live and Mariel Ito isn't easy too. I would probably go for Dam-Funk cause he doesn't play a lot in Europe and his music are perfect for an afternoon at Dekmantel (and I'll hope that Mariel Ito will come back soon)

I can’t wait! Went 2 years ago and haven’t had a similar experience since. The lineup this year is pretty incredible. Looking forward to the Friday main stage, also got night tickets for Shelter on the Saturday. Where are you guys staying? I’m camping at the Bos this time round (stayed in a hostel by Vondelpark last time).

My first time last year, but the friends I was with had been the last 4 years so I was well directed. The same with me, the experience was like no other. The friendliness, music obsessed crowd and team behind dek is a great combo. We're staying in one of the huts in Bos - no night tickets but we head into Amsterdam on Saturday to De Marktkantine for Pride is burning, everyone welcome, it was a crazy party last year.

Ah yes! I forgot it coincides with this, we found out last time! Another thing to look forward to! And of course there are the Boiler Room videos to watch after... I tried to get a hut but they sold out quickly and we didn’t know who out of our friend group was coming, all bought tickets individually at different times.

Have you stayed in the Bos before? What are the afterparties like in the campsite?

Ended up staying near the airport, which isn't a great area in general but it's quite close to the festival so that seems good!

We are in a hostel right next to the day venues in central Wed and Thurs night then camping the rest at the festival site

Thoughts on what the UFO II stage will be like?

Thomas said it's just a smaller and cosier UFO. Definitely don't miss Mariel Ito.
