Either would do for me a decent dance about. Preferably on Sat so no clash with RH and still have some energy left in my legs.

Loving the new Justice track. Are they too big to headline Sonic? Similar slot to Leftfield?

Do you think it's big enough to be photographed from space/a passing satellite?

Thank you for explaining as I had no idea. I prefer the in the thick of it action, but as you say it's horses for courses.
Have you thought about Camplight? Pre pitched tents on Pennards? I'm tempted this year just so I
a ) don't have to lug a tent in and put it up, and
b ) can leave slightly later on Weds after a decent nights sleep without worrying if I am going to have to camp by the fence somewhere

What fantastic irony

As long as these scalping sites have access to tickets before the public it is a con.
In my opinion ticket shouldn't be able to be put on resale sites within 24 hours tickets being sold, and they should have a maximum resale value of 110% of the face value so fees and costs can be covered. This would create an easy platform for people to resell tickets that they bought 'just in case' or they changed their mind, could no longer attend etc (as it probably was with @ghostdancer1's experience) without creating an opportunity for those with immoral programmes, contacts or corporate partnerships to make a dickload of money and cheating those who can't afford the inflated prices to be outbid from seeing events that they should have every right to attend.
Apologies for the rant but in my opinion this is the biggest blight on the music industry at the moment.

Half of the Other Stage setup was still in Download on Wednesday so that makes sense.
Is the Other stage the Download main stage? I didn't know that. The Other feels bigger to me but may just be how it's 'dressed'.

Started listening to Yak this week and it turns out that they are playing in my neck of the woods this evening. Love a last min ticket purchase - so much more exciting than buying tickets months in advance and forgetting about them until you see an event in the calendar.

Does anyone know when Camplight normally goes on sale? I might look into it for next year just so I don't have to stress about getting there super early on the Weds to nab a spot in Pennards (added bonus not to lug a tent about too)

Andrew WK usually gets mentioned each year doesn't he? He'd certainly get things going either the surprise slot or first billed slot. His latest song is pure EDM by numbers though.

A carefully selected retro act often goes down a treat at bestival for example.
I think they utilize acts like the Cuban Brothers who tick the 'getting the party started' box well too.

Reckon they'll be doing better than a decent Other slot - as high as Pyramid sub seems completely in their reach if the hype of the first album is anything to go by
To me it feels like they've left it too long between albums so they have lost all of their momentum. You're probably right that I've put them too low but even as a fan I think it would be a disappointing Pyramid sub booking for me.
Oh and +1 for Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes. I thought they would have been ace on the Hell stage this year.

Royal Blood are due a new album and packed out the JP a few years back (I don't think they've played since then). It wouldn't surprise me if they get a decent Other slot.

Feeder at Roundhouse tomorrow.
Are Feeder aging well? I've not seen them in years. Their set lists look like they still play a decent amount of older stuff.

I'm tempted with these Stranger Things soundtracks. The music was fantastic and think it would make some great atmospheric background sound. I also think I've fallen for the gimmicky pressings:

at the roundhouse gig i was surprised at how many people in their late teens/early 20's were there, singing along to every word of no surprises. an incredibly diverse crowd.
and also, I don't think video gets enough love - maybe because its not on youtube:
LISTEN to that.
Goosebumps in a stuffy office (the name of my second album incidentally)

The bar in the T&C field has become a haunt of ours for the Weds and Thurs evenings. It's nice atmosphere but not overrun, you can hang around outside the tent and catch up with old friends or head inside for a boogie.

because my info is from June and might have changed, and my 99.99% is more hunch in conclusion than confirming other-info, and I'm being mega cautious after the coldplay cock-up ... and it came from Michael's lips.
I can't go telling you lot to be wary of stuff Michael's said and then dive full in myself.
But i do think in this instance it's right.
Did you get that much grief for the one time (that I'm aware of) that you were wrong?
It's a shame to think you cant back your knowledge/hunches/information through fear of people overreacting or being abusive. The internet can be such a negative, faceless place that can do so much harm to those who are trying to create a positive environment/positive materials.

I'm not sure how long Albarn usually takes post production. Could be this year, could be the beginning of next I suppose.

I suspect a single will be out before the end of the year.
I was pretty annoyed nothing immediately followed the hype build up from last week when they went through all the phases on social media then just stopped. Personally, I have very, very little interest in Jamie's artwork - what I want is new music.
They have another couple of weeks in the studio according from the horse's mouth
Radiohead Headlining 2017

Posted
I mentioned to a colleague who has a ticket that Radiohead were headlining, she stared at me blankly before saying 'I don't know what they sing'. I can understand why they're not everyone's cup of tea but to not know what they sing? She's roughly my age so doesn't have youthful ignorance as an excuse, I was stunned. If she had a sense of humour I would assume she's winding me up.
