Supernintendo Chalmers

It's called Saturday night. Then he rolls in sawdust. Hence the name. True story.

I'd like to think that the longer we go without any idea of what they've got planned means they're keeping something cool under wraps. Of course, that could also mean they're trying to give themselves as much time as possible to make something new happen and come June they'll have to relent and go back to the Spider-lite...again. I'm choosing to believe the former, though.

Thank you for your first review in the E&D thread. We'll have you into 200bpm nosebleed gabba before you know it

Saturday lineup at the Glade Dome

I hear there were only 85 this year. Very disappointing.

I don't really understand the fuss about special guests. Not the endless speculation, at least. It's become another one of the strange modern Glastonbury phenomena. Don't get me wrong, when it happens (particularly the occasions where people least suspect it - Bruce Springsteen with McCartney, for example), it can be magical, but the mindless clamour amongst the camp I was in last year just before Elton came on was ridiculous. I lost count of the names that "someone they'd bumped into who works for the BBC" had heard. Britney, Dua, McCartney, Eminem, Harry Styles, etc. It's Elton John. Is that not enough? It turned out to be Brandon Flowers and a couple other lesser known artists. Probably didn't add anything at all to the overall performance. Same situation the year before, Dr Dre and Eminem were supposedly dropping in with Kendrick. Turned out to be one of the most fantastically choreographed performances I've ever witnessed and not a guest in sight. I have to agree with a few above. In hindsight, most guest spots that I've seen aren't that memorable.

Yeah that's a point. Where is Suprefan? Not seen him on here for a while

Did you enjoy it?

The festival probably can't spare the tickets for the Sleeping Souls...

Saturday at J2 must have your name on it, Ben?

Well at least you'll be warmer

DVS1 currently in the Netherlands on Saturday. Hauff currently free all weekend. Possibilities. Sunday night closer?

Wise words from the Captain here, fellow E&Ders

Expect any of the names below:

I still think the map will be into May. Probably after the Arcadia and Block 9 announcements. And if Williams Green is returning in some capacity, they'll probably want a big reveal of that too.

How times have changed. Silver Hayes used to be the one area that people really disliked. Weird vibe, average lineup. Now most are looking at Silver Hayes as the main late night area rather than the South East Corner. Speaks volumes for the improvements in SH and the perception of certain areas creatively standing still elsewhere.

😃 Maybe not, but I guarantee there'll be a number of acts you don't know today but you will in the next few years, and you'll wish you saw them (hindsight being 20/20, of course). This is why people clamour for the lineup asap isn't it? To discover some of the under the radar acts that become must-sees. Dig deep, I reckon there'll still be lots of interest.

I often look back at previous year's lineups with envious eyes. Why on earth I didn't close out the festival with Giant Swan (RIP) and Squarepusher in 2019 is completely beyond me. No doubt, in 2029 I'll look back on this years event and have similar thoughts

This was the Clash stage from 2017

This is the stage you're thinking of

IICON was a slightly unusual slot last year, but very welcome. I loved it.

I also remember the short-lived Clash stage from 2017. Had balconies on either side with the crowd below the DJs but had a ridiculous Soundsystem at ground level. Opposite the original version of the Gas Tower...which was also far superior to the current iteration

So far: LTJ Bukem. Been around for over 30 years, one of the pioneers of the intelligent/liquid sound. Randall. Jungle royalty. Widely considered one of the greats among his peers. DJ Rap. Another original junglist and still probably the best female DJ/producer in DnB. Friction. Owner of Shogun Audio, responsible for some huge remixes as well as his own tracks. Also recognisable from his Radio One DnB show. If you like jump-up, you've got K-Motionz, Turno, AMC, Phantom. All of which have absolutely massive tunes. There will be more...

I mean, look at it!
