Did it rain to any substantial amount? Historic forecasts have it at high teens and 20s and dry

Mostly dry in the build up in 2021, dry and not too warm all weekend apart from Sunday night. dry in the build up to 2020 and then scorching all weekend. dry in the build up to 2019 then scorching all weekend. same in 2018? Cant say I’m concerned at all.

If Four Tet is in JP headline slot, would there be any bother getting into the tent before it starts? Sonic was completely inaccessible last time.

Best festival DJ set I’ve heard in time

Oh yeah did Loyle Carner go on stage with Slowthai? I know he singled him out in the crowd.

Tom Misch had two last year. Nick Cave during Kylie. that little dweeb on stage with Dave…

Been told in fairly unequivocal terms than none in my group are interested in Macca, so Kendrick it is (which is fine) but it does mean I need Four Tet and Bicep to be on Friday and Saturday respectively.

Or her Saturday appearance is on the pointy one with ole Macca.

Confident on Fjaak, we’re playing in 2020, play everywhere and free that weekend.

Feels way bigger when you’re there tho

Aye that’s where I’m at, Meg loses a lot of clashes for me but if I’m not clashed I’ll make the effort

Ignore

Yeah this is it for me. No flags past this point could maybe work but I dunno.

This is wrong as far as I know? The phrase was always associated with Meg and only predates the song by like a few months in 2019. There’s articles on it nd shit. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/hot-girl-summer https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/7/12/20690515/hot-girl-summer-meme-define-explained So you’re back on @Florian Saucer Attack

The FatBoy opening thing would be great. He was a surprise closing act at a Printworks Redacted event where the lineup was kept secret until the acts came out. His rumoured appearance was met with grumbles during the day given most regular rave goers have Norman-fatigue and it wasn’t really a “big room” crowd - but in the end it was great. He’s a sentimental type; and it being the first time Printworks had opened since pre-Pandemic, he really got into the whole thing in terms of welcoming everyone back to the dance floor. on that basis opening Pyramid after 2 cancelled festivals would be perfect

He was but he played elsewhere that summer as a solo act. Has high billing as a solo act elsewhere this summer!

Tom Misch being missing after being on the 2020 poster is surprising. He’s playing elsewhere in England either side of the festival, touring generally and plays lots of festivals. Played twice in 2019 without being on the lineup (cameos with Loyle Carner and Jorja Smith). also has started DJing so thought he may pop up. still likely though.

Edit: Replaced with original, forgot how much Beyoncé remix is just Beyoncé: You’ve probably heard it but her verses on WAP are lit, eats Cardi up Then the biggest bop is probs Hot Girl Summer honestly she’s got a deep back catalogue given she’s only been round a few years. So much in there.

Um, Meg is absolutely class - this is an insane take. Doja is slightly more Pop/R&B so I kind of get that? But Meg is absolutely a genre descendent of 90s hiphop great, albeit with a southern bent (see also: Outkast). Was Lil Kim a joke to you? Unsure how you couldn’t see the “linear line” between Lil Kim and Meg

When will we start getting the dance stages lineups?

Aren’t all her songs covers…

God that would suck, the latter 3 are all on my “must see” list, and my group will 100% want Bicep, who I’ve seen double figure times including Field day last year. surely they wouldn’t all be playing same time same day?

It was insanely rammed, literally could get anywhere near we had to abandon it

He does do a live set but I think it will be a DJ set. Is there ever acts from SE Corner or Pangea on first poster? I’ve taken it to mean he’s going to be on JP or something.

Unsure why you’ve been downvoted, think that’s a fair point.
