    It does seem to be a lot of the same old names on the dance stages too.

     

    Certainly a lot of regulars amongst them. A few new acts, established debutantes and long awaited returns but there's an argument to suggest it's slightly weaker, coupled with a bias towards certain genres

    If dance music/dj culture is your thing its fairly unbeatable, but for the rest of us its relatively weaker than usual. Some horrendous indie and repeat performers sprinkled in there. Like, trolling us with it.

     

    Amazed that I can't find one single thing to properly cling onto.

     

    Yeah, that's fair. 

     

    A question to you and other regular attendees. Overall festival experience aside, does this full lineup make you reconsider committing to buying a ticket in October regardless of knowing who's on the lineup?

    Hello - saw Ellis Dee and Slipmatt on the initial Shangri-La/Nowhere poster but find them in the line drop. Will they be under another moniker? Thanks 

     

    Yep. They're playing here on Sunday night as part of the Moondance/Dope Ammo takeover

    Now that the lineup is out, I’d love to hear people’s thoughts and theories on why it’s somewhat disappointing compared to the previous two years. 

     

    Upon reflection, regardless of how anyone wants to spin it, overall, it's a weaker lineup than any of recent memory, particularly on the Pyramid, with some quite baffling placements and obvious over-promotions all across the weekend. As always, it's bolstered by a relatively strong after-hours programme, the excitement of a new Arcadia creation, the return of Genosys and even further expansion of Silver Hayes. The lack of a stellar headliner is a problem for some, but opportunities to secure a major heritage act are reducing, for a few reasons. 

     

    If the good weather from recent years continues, any concerns over the lineup will be long forgotten by most, but I do fear that a rainy/muddy one this year could compound the lineup complaints. 

     

    Obviously there's still an abundance of amazing acts to see and areas to explore, but if we're making comparisons between years, which we naturally do as vets or newbs, it's quite clearly not as strong, in my opinion. One shared by the vast majority of regulars that I've spoken with. 

     

    Still the best weekend of the year, still one of the most amazing festival experiences on the planet, regardless. But...for the first time for as far back as I can remember, there's widespread dissatisfaction regarding the lineup.

    Out of upvotes but cheers @Supernintendo Chalmers! Liking the sound of him on his soundcloud. A few other gems I've discovered this evening although not necessarily Italo: Dar Disku, Faff, Ouissaim & CC Disco.

     

    No problem. Dar Disku is a duo that I discovered a few years ago through this very thread. They went on to be one of the sets of that weekend! 

  12. I'm not even bothered by Glastonbury this year.

    This is the 1st one Im missing due to no ticket... but to be honest, I'm fine with it.

     

    The line up hasnt really grabbed me, even lower down it - barring a few trump acts. I am struggling a little financially & probably couldn't have afforded it. I am going to Beat Herder in July & I am looking forward to that. The fact they did a payment plan (and it was over £100 cheaper helped).

     

    When we missed out on tickets, I was gutted, but not as gutted as I would have been a few years before. Now, I'm fine with it... whether I will be in 25 dayd or so time - I don't know!!

     

    I hope everyone has a mint time. 

     

     

     

     

     

    It'll be too sunny for you anyway. Probably best avoided. Enjoy Beat Herder.

    Quite a specific request but would anyone be able to recommend some DJs who are likely to play some Italo Disco in their sets? Palms Trax being one for example. Don't care if it's a big name or DJ playing in some smaller tent. Few of our crew going would lap that stuff up. 

     

    Riquísimo is playing the Glade Dome and Genosys

    Hi All,

     

    Long time lurker in this thread so thought I’d get involved. Few questions if I may. Where is the best place to find mixes. I have SoundCloud and Mixcloud but sometimes find it tricky navigating around those platforms. 
     

    Secondly; I’ve seen Luke Una getting a fair bit of airtime recently and see he’s due on the Farm next month. Wondered what genre he would be classified as, what to expect, and where to find him.

     

    Thanks 🙂

     

    Depending on what you're into, YouTube is a great source for live sets. Search for Hör Berlin, Boiler Room, Anjunadeep or BOG Bristol for starters. Loads of stuff across all genres amongst that lot on there.

     

    Difficult to pigeon hole, is Luke Una. Disco, Balearic house, techno, samba, soul. His sets often transition through them all, it's probably what he's best known for.

    Yep. Check out Demi Riquísimo. He's playing a few times, if I recall correctly. He does play other types of house too (I really enjoyed a couple b2b sets with Manami last year), but I reckon he's a good bet to scratch the Italo itch
