Going to really make the effort to get in for a few of these. Always looked at the line at turnee around

It doesn't take that long to get in. Also, sometimes you cab just walk around the 'back' and there is no Q!

Is Mezcalaria replacing the Rum Shack?

Fewer Rumshacky type artists then you'd usually see.

Last time I remember not moving from the bottom of the steps for a good 15 minutes and calling it... Must try be more patient

Would like to catch reeps one, but I doubt I will.

Usually plenty in The Common for an old fart like me - only really Stanton Warriors, DJ Hype (especially of he is back-to-back with Eden Hazard - could be dependent on whether he's gone to Real Madrid by then, I guess) and A Guy Called Gerald.

 

Would expect the first two will be in The Temple, which would be pretty sweet.

Walk round the back mate. Or arrive earlier/later!

Was easy to get into on the Thurs last year (though they were playing Dubstep!).

This is a shocker in comparison to previous years. Jump up fans will be happy no doubt.

No, looks like it's replacing the Copperdollar.

I've been through this and added what I think are the live acts to the Glastonbury 2017 Spotify playlist (after Shangri La, about 3/4 down). Hip hop fans might want to check out The Four Owls, while for funky World horns, there's the San Juan Project:

 I presume that's Scientist as in the dub bloke?

Ah....cool.  Didn't see the separate pages.  Could be worth a goosey gander.

We queued for the Temple last year and ended up having what was dubbed "The Best Friday Ever", so I think it can be worth queueing for things every now and then.

Noisia and My Nu Leng sets jump out at me there. I've gone off the whole area in past years but can see myself being drawn back in next month!

[kalifire]

Very happy to see Dizraeli there!

We queued a couple years back for the paint fight. Well worth waiting for.

What type of music is here? Never heard of a single act on that poster.

it's mainly the dance music.

 

The Temple generally has a lot of breaks, drum and bass and techno.

 

The Cave goes more jungle (can't recall what else).

Sadly and painfully FTFY...

Oh dear - saw Dave the Drummer closing the Temple at about 4am/am Sat morning  two years ago - it was f@cking rammmed!

Had watched Hot Chip earlier - quite the night!

That whole night was crazy. A girl from my group left at 6am thinking they'd been playing the same song all night.  I don't think she quite got it.
