  1. Wouldn't be surprised if this coincides with an impending Silver Hayes announcement
  2. Glad you had a good time. Can't wait. At some point, they should drop Slippy from the encore. Maybe even throw Slow Slippy in the set somewhere
  3. It's not the best, but it's still better than Excalibur and Flamingo. Just. Anyway, mine was just a guess. Just thought it looked more like the Luxor than the Glastonbury Pyramid
  4. Send me your details nearer the time and we'll do our best. I'm sure others on here could assist, too
  5. If you need assistance, everyone I know is sorted so I'm more than happy to help an E&D thread regular
  6. It could definitely be done and yes it would be rammo. Not sure if the usual Chroma visuals can transfer onto the "head" screen though. Seems quite limited what can be done on that. Which I like, btw. It's not supposed to be a light show tour de force, is it? Quite lo-fi. Although, I guess there's scope for decent projection mapping.
  7. Yeah, you're right. Probably nearer 75 mins each, but I'll take that rather than a generic DJ set essentially playing background noise as everyone wanders in. Looking at the setlist, it's fantastic. Would love to see Scribble, Moon in Water, Caliban's Dream added in there but I can't argue with any of it. Even in the "deeper-cut" first half, we've got Soniamode and Tin There. It's going to go off. My first time at the Aviva Studios too, looking forward to that. Anyone been there?
  8. Going to Manchester next week. Yep, it's two 90 minute sets. Stacked setlist, too. Looking forward to it.
  9. Yep, makes sense to me. Get balances paid then we're at the business end of the run-in, with an area poster each week on average. The exciting part. In only 12 weeks, you'll all be flowing through those giant green gates. 12 weeks!!!
  10. I just re-read it and sighed. I'm trying to rinse as much out of a day ticket as possible. I'm even not drinking at the wedding the day before for "prep". At least the wedding will take my mind off the FOMO on the Saturday. Although, god knows how I'm gonna handle the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
  11. I think it'd be loads better if it was an urban festival anyway. Imagine if it was in London. Think "Dot-to-Dot" but on a much grander scale. You've got your pick of venues, you could have it completely indoors so the weather wouldn't be a problem. Forget the timing around the solstice, hold it whenever you like. It's indoors! Good transport links between each venue. Let's be honest. By the time you've walked from the Acoustic Stage to the Park, you could have got the tube from Brixton Academy to the O2 Arena. No need for a tent, just enjoy one the capital's extensive range of hostels or AirBnBs. No flags or large rucksacks bigger than A4. Somebody get me Emily on line one.
  12. Yeah, Air on Arcadia would be a terrible piece of programming. Surely they'd headline Woodsies or The Park based upon the size of the assumed headliners on the poster? If those slots are sorted, then I think Air are another touring act that the festival has failed to bag
  13. I appreciate the encouragement Ben! I've looked at it in depth over the weekend and logistically I just can't make it work. I have a wedding on the Saturday that I could easily navigate (it's local) but I'd need to incorporate two 12 hour shifts between Wednesday and Sunday. Take (probably) Wednesday and Friday out for work, plus the Saturday for the wedding and it just doesn't make sense. I think I'll stick to my plan to arrive early on the Sunday morning, go straight through until Monday close, drive home the 40 minutes (when sober) and sleep then. It's gonna be very different but I'm looking forward to throwing the kitchen sink at a one-shot 24-hour Glastonbury experience
  14. Ahhh, come on, lighten up a bit. The monorail joke is part of the fabric of this place. Just like Foals headlining, the Mum-check and The KLF reforming
  15. That came out a few weeks ago...
  16. A global, cultural phenomenon that fits the criteria of that slot perfectly.
  17. Totally agree when it comes to anything under 140bpm but Jungle and DnB's very roots are in ragga/reggae, so for me, the right MC who knows when to spit and when to shut up fits the genre perfectly. But it's a difficult skill. Not many get the balance right. When Coxy picks up the mic, it's cringe, to say the least.
  18. I think most of the stable did! 😂
  19. They should just display various menus on the big screen instead of charity appeals so we can order food and drink through Just Eat. Won't need to move from my Gazebo in the Pyramid field. I'll be easily identifiable by my unique flag on a giant pole.
  20. Got an offer to work it today. Seriously considering it but sadly I don't think I can make it happen this time
