I'd be pretty surprised if the Earache Stage isn't back, maybe in bigger form.  Seems to have been a roaring success.

I hope so, I think eavis has been testing thr waters for heavier acts last few years with a few bookings here and there abd then last year the small stage by the truth stage. And they have gone down well. Hopefully itll carry on in 2019.

I doubt bookings down that side of the festival have got much to do with Eavis any more.

But I agree it's time for more heavy acts: specifically Def Leppard.

So anyone not into electronic music should just go to bed early is that what your saying? Lol 

Sure. Or take something in away from listening to music. They have rock music programmed from breakfast thru til midnight. After that, try something different or catch some z’s.

You don’t see Steve D’n’B moaning that Arcadia doesn’t start early enough. He’s in bed until 4pm because that fits with his side of the festival.

I feel like rock/pop fans get the run of the daytime stages so giving way to house, D’n’B, and so on at a certain time makes sense. Plus you know if there was one rock place, it’d probably get too crowded and not be worth the effort.

There's never too much rock.

It was weird seeing loads of old school 80s punks at Dead Kennedys. I'm wondering where they were hiding for the rest of the festival.

They were just wearing fancy dress. The same class of stains wore silly wigs with headbands and brought inflatable miniature pink guitars to Metallica. The sort of thing accountants find hilarious at work parties.

Cant tell if your actually being serious, theres a shit tonne of venues down in the se corner etc, why do they ALL have to play the same kind of tunes? noones trying to take your precious d&b away itd just be nice to have a few venues playing an alternative, are only electronic music fans allowed to have a nightlife?

I wont lie though it was a good feeling when I was waiting around for napalm death and seeing the crowd just totally change as they were near coming on to what id expect to see at somewhere like download rather then Glastonbury.......it was like `yeah....these people get it! , they know whats about to happen` im not going to have to worry about `offending` the totally unaware of the music person next to me when I go apeshit the moment the first riff kicks in. It was like a sea of metal fans came out of nowhere, the contrast with the crowd for the act before the new york brass band was quite amusing :P

I have no relationship with drum'n'bass and rarely spend much time going to late-night venues specifically for the music, yet I can still accept people can have their thing at one time of day and I can have mine at another. It would be taking away from other folk because the festival is pretty packed out as it is and new venues usually come at the expense of old ones. Anyway, they're playing 'the same tunes' as much as anyone who picks up a guitar is playing 'the same tunes', just because you're not bothered about it doesn't make it all one-tone stuff.

oh fucks sake, look mate I really dont care, I was just making the point (that several others have made as well btw) that it would be nice if not `all` the se corner was focused around electronic music at night.

Ideally we could start phasing out the non-metal elements of the festival and give the whole site over to:

Seriously though, giving Earache a bigger stage or just booking more metal in general would be good. Code Orange, Mastodon, Deafheaven, Ghost, Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, Converge, Deftones, Electric Wizard, Architects, Gojira, Baroness, Pallbearer would all go down well.

some doom/stoner rock would go down well I reckon, orange goblin, crowbar, corrosion of conformity,, monster magnet, nebula, candlemass, saint vitus, etc etc something with a lot of groove.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
