I'm looking to get in some quality dubstep at Glasto this year. I saw Caspa the other week there and it was awesome but other than that I'm not really sure who to go see since I am only just getting into it. Any ideas?

yeah, theres a few threads about it actually. but not to worry.

skream & benga must be the number one thing to see. thats in one of the dance tents on friday afternoon.
look out for stuff on the G stage. rusko is playing.
then others include the Joker, Appleblim, jack beats.

i can;t remember too many specific dj's off the top of my head. i suggest just hanging around the dance areas. dubstep has really kicked off this year, i think most dj's will be playing it a bit.

chase and status will probably be playing it a bit if you're into them. i'm not a massive fan personally.
in my opinion the two unmissables are Skream & Benga (cos they are the dons) and Rusko (cos he is ace live).

be sure not to miss n-type and joker vs nomad

ooh, i think i need to go over the line up again, i'd missed that.
really looking forwarf to high contrast. some of his new stuff is on the off-kilter and i reckon that set is gonna be pretty intense.

There's Caspa too on the G Stage at 6pm on Sunday - saw him at Leeds Uni a couple of weeks ago, 'twas very good.

If you like the poppier end of stuff, then Caspa and Rusko are both on somewhere. N-Type's playing too.

Joker Vs Nomad is unmissable though.... gonna be awesome. Skream Vs Benga should be pretty girlfriend-friendly and Appleblim and Peverelist are around too. There's quite a lot of Dubstep on actually... gonna be a great weekend!

Yeah dub is massive at the moment but imho I think it's a bit of a fad, like electro and minimal over the past few years.  I like a bit of it but prefer people that work in a little bit into other styles, like the Prodigy for example.  Listening to an hour of it gets boring for me.  Nevertheless, the Glade, Shangri-La and Dance stages will be full of it this year for sure.
