Tremas

First release took place in December. Got my Friday ticket for £49.50 (£55.95 inc fees)

Junction 2 initial lineup just dropped. That Friday is INSANE.

It was a hybrid DJ/live set. Would love to see a full live set from him again. His Polarity show at Royal Albert Hall was outstanding.

1am and played a 2 hour set. Barker and JakoJako ended up playing b2b. Not sure if you’ll get similar treatment tonight. There were no set times posted in the venue at all.

Jon Hopkins was on fine form last night. New material sounds great, and he ended on Cloudbusting by Kate Bush (really!)

I’m going on the Friday, but very jealous of that Saturday lineup!

Interesting development in the Waterworks telegram group. Organisers potentially doing something at Glastonbury next year 👀

Same situation. Entered the pre-presale allocation raffle on Ticketmaster for the Thursday which went unfulfilled, then bought a Wednesday ticket. Saw the squid soup production at Village Underground about 4 years ago and it was excellent. Looking forward to seeing it again in a bigger venue, and with more bangers under Kieran's belt.

Up there with Job Jobse, Jennifer Cardini, and Anastasia Kristensen's essential mixes for me this year. His closing set at Lost Village a few weeks back was pretty damn perfect. Ended on a big singalong to Finally by Kings of Tomorrow, which was the perfect ending to the weekend.

Yes! Watched the first half hour of Sherelle at IICON but it was a bit too intense for what we wanted to finish on, so caught the last hour of Felix and LOVED it. Originally planned on seeing Batu at the temple but as the screens were saying it was full, we ended up in block 9 instead. Very glad we did.

Last night was incredible. Was a bit apprehensive as the weather turned biblical and all the ponchos ran out at the stores, but it was quickly forgotten as they took the stage. La Mer, Happiness in Slavery, AATCHB, and Sanctified were highlights, as well as that double rainbow. Was interesting to see which tracks got the biggest reactions. All the With Teeth material went down an absolute storm unexpectedly. Would really love to see them on the farm.

This tactic sadly doesn’t work anymore as in 2019 they had different coloured moustaches for each day. Maybe they’ll change it up again this year too.

Pints of Carlsberg at Seaside Beano in Camber Sands last weekend were £4.10. Sufficed to say we made the most of that. Probably the cheapest pint I've seen at a festival in some time.

I must have missed this dice.fm competition! I'm tempted to get one of the cheaper tickets I'm seeing on resale sites as seeing Bicep tomorrow will free me up for Kenny at Glasto. Also missed Overmono at Seaside Beano as they were clashing with Objekt so would love to see them too.

I absolutely swear by these sports shaker bottles as my drinking vessel of choice. Can remove the lid and drink using the brim or the mouth spout opening which easily clips on and off. As it's enclosed and you can shake it all about, it's ideal for dancing with without spilling, and same for when sitting down on the grass as you can tip it without it going everywhere. The ones with the plastic filter grid at the top are the best as you can fill the bottle with ice and it'll prevent chunks coming through. I usually carry a plastic bottle full of spirits and add it to the bottle along with mixers from the co-op. The measurement markings on the side are handy if you want accuracy, but I just play it by eye. They're only a couple quid, and most are about 750-1000ml capacity. Under the guise of sustainability I'll often ask the bars to just fill the bottle with beer/cider and you get more drink due to the increased capacity vs the disposable paper cups they use and they charge the same price. Honestly a game changer.
