Think the fourth is “Firmly Rooted”

Good point. I consider myself fairly switched on concerning electronic/urban music (and live in London), but also I’m 41, if I was au fait with the majority of this lineup then Glastonbury wouldn’t be staying young/relevant. When I first started going almost 20 years ago I spent a lot of time in the dance village, I’ll be there this year at times, but it won’t always cater for crusty squat ravers.

Optimo Overmono, is Optimo Espacio live, am I right in thinking that?

That’s more Glade/Rabbit Hole/Shangri-La/Arcadia territory Silver Hayes has increasingly been more alternative/dub/d&b, even hip-hop

Pinch FabricLive.61 on now, to get me in the mood!

At first glance: Artwork Pres. More Amor, Avalon Emerson, Call Super b2b Parris, Craig Richards, Crazy P Soundsystem, Dresden: Ivan Smagghe b2b Manfredas, Fatboy Slim, Groove Armada (DJ Set), Leon Vynehall, LTJ Bukem, Optimo Overmono, Patrick Topping/Eats Everything, Pinch, Shy FX, Tasha

Not enough joined up thinking. Need more synergies.

Announce We Will Rock You / Spice World double header at Cineramageddon dammit! ANNOUNCE IT!

It’s my playlists I feel sorry for

I’m happy to start now(ish)

It’s today though, right?!

I thought it would have been by now, if today, as can’t see it being an afternoon announcement. So, unfortunately I’m thinking Tuesday. If only there were people who perhaps tracked the timing of historical announcements and would know there was a chance of a PM announcement. But those sort of people don’t exist in reality, do they? 😉 #thereisnopattern

Initially I thought I’d be pretty surprised if Orbital was scheduled directly vs Bicep. As much for the acts as anything else. While not exactly the same, would a Sonic headliner steal an Other stage headliners crowd dependent on weather, for example? After further consideration, would be convenient to see both acts with that location: know I saw both Chemical Brothers (DJ Set) and Fatboy Slim (Live) in 2005 with the proximity of the two.

I’m so chuffed Imelda May playing. Was on the 2020 poster and then not the first poster this year. Brilliant.

Editors - Blood Switch - A Bit Patchy

Stanton Warriors self-confirmed

Frankie & Wayne Bridge doing a Carpenters tribute 🤷‍♂️

Does it have acts on after midnight?

Yeah, thanks, I know. But, it’s Glastonbury…

Gah! 😩 That’s pretty much what I thought. The missus only *must* watch is BE, 95% of the rest of the weekend will be my “suggestions”, but desperate to see Foals… 👴 stay single kids…

Is there any hope in hell that Foals WON’T clash with Billie Eilish?

In my head, I know this to be true. But my heart longs for more 😁

Oh, come on Glasto! Give us something. I feel like Renton, locked in my bedroom in the first trainspotting. Anything. Jazz World? Lost Vagueness? New Bands Tent? Anything!

To get ready today: - Bought two Foals & one Undertones CD - Downloaded some Billie Eilish for research purposes - Copied 'abridged Glasto playlist' over to my girlfriend - Found my efestivals password 😬 - Listening to my 'full Glasto playlist' while at my desk in the office (had some Primal Scream, Kendrick Lamar, Fatboy Slim, Caribou, Diana Ross, Macca on amongst others)

23rd & 24th (Thursday & Friday)
