[Secret Sets/TBA's 2019]

Don't know if this has been mentioned but with Sleaford mods playing up at Shangri la, any chance of them being one of the park stage sets?

[Where are you camping?]

Alo all,

 

We have a group of 12 going glasto this year, 6 tents or so (ticket god's were kind). Been in groups this big in the past but this was a few years ago, haven't been since 2014 and don't know if it's more of a struggle now with peeps arriving Tuesday night.

 

We have camped in pylon field but had got a coach to gate A. And the other years we drove we camped right near gate D so miles away. 

 

Planning on arriving about 8am Wednesday by car and entering at A or D, anyone reckon we would get as far in as oxylers? Or get to the pylon and just get a spot down?

Obvious can be a bit luck of the draw but any experience let me know.

Cheers!

I don't know whether it's my age, the fallow year making me out of touch, or whether we genuinely have a weak line-up this year, but I'm struggling to find many new acts to go and see this year.  I've got Jon Hopkins, Chemical Brothers and Kate Tempest on my list, all of which I've seen in some form at Glastonbury already.  IDLES and The Coming Is Coming are the only new (to me) acts that have really caught my interest this year.

Can you help me uncover some new music in the line up announced so far?  Someone I might not have heard of or considered before?  Have you discovered anyone in the run up to this year's festival?

Flamingods are a sort of psycadelic rock band from Bahrain they are brilliant. Their new album levitation is great and well worth a listen. They are playing at the HMS sweet charity in the park, played in 2017 at about 1am so anticipating the same!

[Lawks! It's only the 2019 Next Announcement Thread!]

With park and West Holt's getting their individual line ups, will we maybe get a john peel individual announcement?

(Alledgedly) Not that I'll recognise any names anyway ?

Great catch. With the park just being announced if they released today it would be a line up extravaganza ?

Reading this has given me the epiphany that pancakes are exactly what I need on the Sunday morning. Where's your pancake spot?

They used to do them in the beat hotel itself. Not sure if they still do, this was back in 2014! I will be finding out this year thankfully

We normally camp not too far away from the beat hotel. Spent most of one of the days in there in 2016 to stay out of the rain and had a great time. 

Whereabouts is that? We've been up by gate A the last little while, means beat hotel is a stop on the walk to a lot of places !

I also love the Beat Hotel, always seem to find something good to dance too, even though often I have no idea what it is. Great cocktails too ?

My favourite moment was stumbling in to find Don Letts doing a tribute to DJ Derek, and he smashed some dubstep remix of a Coldplay tune. It was ace!

It's good the random bits you can come across!

I first found it just walking back from Williams green guilty pleasures on the Thursday night, cracking

Had a particularly fun time at Beat Hotel on the Sunday morning in 2013, Rob Da Bank was playing a birthday set, and we just got smashed on absinthe cocktails, not really been back much since then, always too busy, and I find that the tent gets too hot if you're deep into it. Will no doubt swing by a few times this year.

Rob da bank plays most Sunday mornings there I think, occasionally doing the prince tribute with Tayo? 

Rarely go actually in to be honest apart from getting a drink, it's good outside!

Alo all,

I love this place, go along mid morning get some pancakes, then have an absynth cocktail and dance to some disco, then back later that night to dance on a small pyramid into the early hours ?

This was one of my Sundays at glasto a few years ago, not much exploring was happening by this point after 5 days.

I know the line up for this won't be available until the full one, but has anyone else had good times here and seeing who?
