Is GnR the top one??
I was in a sparsely populated pocket in the middle, it really didn't feel as busy as the top photo looks
The top one is from 2011.
It was just a comparison to show how much space they’ve pinched to open the field up.

Fleetwood Mac are done. They won't play live without Mcvie and Buckingham again.
They played live without McVie for ages and its Fleetwood Mac so wouldn’t be unsurprising if Buckingham returned.

Best names for a Glastonbury themed turbine?

Other than the rap acts they've had (Skepta, Central Cee, Megan Thee Stallion, Little Simz etc), only one I can think of is when they have had Bicep do live sets. Other than that, 'headline' level names like The Chemical Brothers, Chase & Status etc have all been DJ as far as I'm aware. They've had a lot of smaller names do Live sets such as Rudimental, Underworld, Overmono etc but other than Bicep, not headline level Live sets.
Also upvoted, not sure why that was downvoted, quite a valid point. Fred Again.. I suppose was a live set last year, but he would've been booked way before he had his massive rise in popularity and was considered a headliner, certainly a reason why Parklife have bumped him to headline The Valley. PHM would probably be the biggest booking they have ever had there imo if it happened, would happily welcome it of course, but think they could comfortably sell out the arena instead.
The Prodigy, Orbital, Aphex Twin, Deadmau5 & Flying Lotus have all previously played live at WHP.
Disclosure did play live there in 2013 after the brought out Settle

6 out of 7 for me on the Co-op game. Can’t believe I even managed that, absolutely crap at it.

You missed the Taylor Swift mash up.
they put coachella shirts up for £35 a pop.
Four Tet’s Taylor remix is absolutely sound

It’s about paying them all more than anything. 3 acts that could headline it on their own doing it together means a lot of money spent on them.
Don’t even see them wanting that much to do it. They seem to be enjoying giving people these mad moments even with the 37 pull ups of Ratatata
We’ll agree to disagree for the time being pal, wish you all the best. See ya on the floor.

Four Tet wasn't doing 30k at ally pally then. Skrillex had died down significantly by 2019 from his hype in the early 10s when he got slots like Other headline for example
New point:
Has WHP ever booked a Coachella headliner? Or even a UK major festival headliner to do the same set (ie not Disclosure as they do live at fests vs DJ at WHP)
Them three as a trio is miles bigger than anything they've booked before.
Don’t think you can consider them as Coachella headliners, they stepped in last minute because Frank Ocean screwed it up the week before.
Four Tet is huge in the scheme of things but you could argue that he’s only succeeded at Ally Pally due to the Squid Soup lighting.
I also can’t imagine them to be stuck up about playing there, it’s the biggest club in the North by far.

I understand people are desperate to be there but I can’t see loads of people paying strangers who’ve promised tickets using bots, you’re asking for a scam on mass scale.

Parklife is an 80k festival (although i guess that does show they have a relationship with WHP)
Four Tet & Skrillex were both far smaller then and thats without Fred too whos bigger than them both
guess we'll see as we clearly won't agree on this but i think its way out of WHP's scope.
Disagree entirely that Four Tet & Skrillex were smaller then. It was 2019, Four Tet had already headlined shows at Mayfield (2015) on his own merit before WHP properly took it over. Four Tet’s been massive for years. Skrillex was arguably bigger when he was realising all that mad music in the early 10s.

Fred could be announced solo and then the rest show up but can't see all 3 together be announced. They have never done anything as of yet that has been announced more than a few days in advance i'd note
Why?
They’ve only been playing with each other for a short amount of time so they’ve not really been able to announce dates in advance.Skrillex & Fred are both playing Parklife which has been announced months in advance.
Four Tet & Skrillex have actually played Mayfield together in the past. It really wouldn’t be that unrealistic.

4 nights at ally pally and thats solo not all 3
Nobody has ever really done like 3-4 nights at WHP AFAIK
Chems did a DJ set which didn't sell out until a few days before, Disclosure was also a DJ set. Not sure about Massive Attack
I think he's focusing on his own shows more than playing at club type venues
Ahhhh apologies I thought we were taking all 3, I think there’s a chance for all 3.

Far too big for it really - just seems unworkable i think
Similar capacity to Ally Pally. Tickets’ll sell like hotcakes but I genuinely think it’s on. In comparison to other artists who’ve played Mayfield. Chems, Massive Attack, Disclosure etc, they’re not much bigger than them, they’re just the flavour of the week at the minute which will die down pretty quickly now that Skrillex’s album is out there. Definitely doable for me.

Last gig was Bicep a few weeks ago.
As expected, absolutely unreal. Superstars of the electronic game in the making. -
All good guys, nailed the co-op game today

I’d be highly surprised if they didn’t do a WHP this year.

What's your tactic, hit random squares hoping that you chance 2 the same or open them in order hoping you'll remember where you saw another of the same?
I don’t even know to be honest with ya

I mean, "not EDM" is subjective, but to me, it's basically Swedish House Mafia with added weepy piano, and a few extra pop remixes....

Set and transitions are sloppy as fuck. It's all over the place, and not in a good way. Barely a step above someone playing random shit on their ipod at a party. Fred BR or a regular Four Tet DJ set are infinitely better.
There’s a part of me that thinks that it’s supposed to be like that yano. It’s messy as hell and absolutely all over the place but it’s meant to be a bit daft I think. It’s not meant to be taken dead serious, look at them playing they’re absolutely taking the piss.

I failed the co-op game today 😔
