Would love to see a tek-one playing in the tent at some stage, fantastic live  

I saw them support Family Force 5 last year, they were insane! I'd definatly go see them. Bit of Sub Focus too, that'd be nice. Mind you, SF's DJ sets are bloody awful, so let's hope it's live.

I prefer the DJ sets, at least he doesn't just play his own stuff. The light ring when he plays Live though is cool.

[Calzum]

Yeah I'd a prefer SubFocus DJ set, I don't think his own stuff is particularly that good

[Couchy]

When he plays high up the bill at festivals it's his Live set eg Glade headliner at Glastonbury '10, wrapped up Big Top at Bestival '10 & Nass '11. I could list more but not necessary.


The crowd are pathetic.

Full set can be listened to here... Sub Focus Live 1 Big Weekend, Bangor 2010

Can't wait to see him at Glastonbury!

apparently, yes, although it hasnt been confirmed.

[Couchy]

Whether I go or not is hanging on the Dance tent at the moment so an announcement today would be lovely.

Normally the Dance tent follows current trends and the main trend just now is Dubstep and the line up will reflect this.

I wouldn't agree with that.Dupstep was a major buzz last year after being quite underground before but I think its peaked now and what's coming through is the mainstream acceptance.

You've just agreed to something you initially said you wouldn't agree with.

No he didn't. He said that he doesn't think Dubstep is the latest trend. He said it's 'peaked'.

I caught him at Glade and I saw his DJ at Underage. It could be that he's not a daylight act, but I really wasn't feeling his DJ. Also, it's gonna be Sunday night. Last year, as soon as the Prymid headliner finished it all died a bit. I took a stroll around, and where you'd normally find a mini rave outside a bar it all looked a little flat. So hopefully the crowd will still be up for it!

I just heard Zane say Unkle, Sub Focus, Simian Mobile Disco, Nero (Full band), Crystal Fighters, Does It Offend You, Yeah? for the dance tent...was too fast that didn't get the others

Crystal fighters will be wicked. He also said Miles Kane and Dananananaykroyd for another stage.

Devlin and Mount Kimble I heard too but there's more than that too which I couldn't hear

...so therefore, imo, it's a trend.

Edit- the names announced aren't surprising for R+L.

Depends what you classify as a 'trend'.
With dance music I think its more about what's hot in the clubs not charts and the buzz over dupstep has cooled.It's no longer fresh and exciting.

[nu-marc88]

UNKLE & James Lavelle have just confirmed on facebook that UNKLE sounds will be headlining the dance tent,

Should be pretty good!

They are a bit crap as 2manydjs now, same old set for years. Would be interesting to see Soulwax.

Largely agree with this. Soulwax were very good both times I saw them whereas 2manydjs were brilliant once (that was at Coachella though) and pretty average the others

I'm a massive Soulwax fan but they've been churning out the same set for about five years now. I think instead of constantly gigging it may be time to go back in the studio and actually write an album since the last actual album they released was in 2003.

Hopefully Nero will be bringing along their new huge DJ booth to R+L (just watched them on R1BW live stream).
