Pleasure.
But I'm sure you're aware that deliberately conflating Judaism with Zionism is itself antisemitic.

Nice try but no.

Expressions of Palestinean solidarity don't make Jews unsafe - and claiming otherwise erases all the Jews that stand alongside those people protesting for freedom fir Palestine.
They may - and hopefully do - make Zionists uncomfortable, but these are two very different things - and that discomfort will be a good thing if it generates a moment of reflection on the violence that Zionism requires to sustain itself.
I was assaulted by a Zionist in Edinburgh late last year whilst carrying a Palestinean flag after a demo, so I'm probably not going to bother in June* due to the hassle for both myself and my friends if something similar were to happen.
*And also cause it'll be a pain in the arse to carry quite frankly.

I feel like it’s probably linked to Cinemageddon’s demise but that could be nonsense
Think it may be due to the editor of Empire magazine getting involved.

The Avril / Janelle Monae clash is a right shame.

Intrigued by the Q&As. Presumably they aren’t expecting Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya to turn up.
They're all listed out on the G homepage. Florence Pugh is there to rep Dune 2.
(Seriously)

The bar outside plays reggae I think

It felt like her whole tour was arranged around a Pyramid set.
OK that turned out to be Meltdown, but she's still in the UK over G weekend just twiddling her thumbs

Lunch be like

Doesn't look like they've booked a dracula though.

Pugh, Blanchett, Pegg & Wright, Scott & Mescal...

Isn't the fact that you can't hear much outside the inner speaker circle the actual design and the only thing that lets it be a late night outside venue in that part of the site?

Really upped their game this year in terms of the Q&As and intros.

Is the Nosferatu intro going to be done by an actual dracula?

Saw The Downsetters last year and they were great.

Only Lovers Left Alive, plus Q&A. Tilda Swinton, surely?
She's there every year. Part of the furniture.

I loved Justice in 2017. An amazing set, the crowd were phenomenal, and almost my whole camp was together, which was very special.
But, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that, for me, the Bicep set was even better.I liked the Justice set and the vibe was great, but it wasn't even in the top 3 acts I saw that day, never mind that weekend.

I think they break up all the different tent sizes and shapes to create fancy patterns when viewed from above. You could probably be anywhere.

Think my hat's in the ring for this, but that says more about the overall lack of options than it does any great Lauper love in.
