It's been a great year so far. The standouts for me are: Beatrice Dillon - Workaround Waxahatchee - Saint Cloud Fiona Apple - Fetch the Bolt Cutters Perfume Genius - Set My Heart on Fire Immediately Owen Pallett - Island Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher Plus good records by RTJ, Destroyer, Four Tet... Need to revisit AAL, Nico Jaar, Neil Young, Armand Hammer, Happyness, Moses Sumney... Looking up to be a really solid end of year list eh.

It's ambient Sufjan. Stick him in the Glade

Depends what the stage show is like for this album cycle tbf. If it's Adz-esque - yeah, it'll be cramped on the Park, but if it's C&L-like, no problems. (I'd be hoping for something Adzy for a festival though, obv)

Also worth noting this is the album closer, extremely excited to hear the whole thing.

Ffs Glastonbury, stop trying to make WOW! happen. It's not gonna happen. If that was Omar S' only appearance - gutted. But if he turned up in Block9/the BH replacement - oo er. & SASS was rammed last time round, thank god they were planning on putting them on a non-queuing stage! Ey up, good to see you! Happy to help when the sales roll round 😊

They've been a Radio 1 band for years haven't they? Perfect Other Stage fodder really, imo

Portishead '13 - still hasn't been touched for me personally, imagine it being my first one makes a big amount of difference, hadn't thought about that before.

Autechre!!? hope you're all well x

Ah rats, just catching up. Waxahatchee in William's Green! - amazing. Double duty on Park/Crow's Nest on the cards too? Maaan

That Portishead '13 set is one of those things that feels so perfectly burned into my mind, I'm not sure if I'd want to rewatch it again. Went solo but didn't matter one bit. Remember those David Cameron devil horns and laser eyes - jaw-dropping. Beth seemed so grateful and blown away, and absolutely every vocal performance was perfect. The boom of Machine Gun. Okay yes I do want to see it again.

Nothing will be signed on the dotted line at this stage.

Selfishly happy we get to keep tickets, gutted for those who missed out this year as it will likely be a long wait between visits Now just keep that Taylor Sunday slot...

Anyone in here looking like they are going to lose out on paid DJ slots etc this summer? Chuck up a link to bandcamp etc if you've got one, be happy to help

Has seemed inevitable for the last few days, unfortunately. Very gutting of course but big picture is important here, such is life.
