Ditto, this place is a fucking binfire

This is it exactly The shutting down like "no one else was available, deal with it" is a bit weird on a festival forum based entirely on idle speculation 😂

Would love to know if Emily asked her to come back and she said no, or if she's just a one and done in the festivals eyes (if so that's a shame as she's released some absolute art since 2011)

Or did it? I have no idea but I'm hoping not

Yeah like surely not every ArcTanGent volunteering space sold out in 10 seconds (no offence to that festival)

Is it definitely sold out or is it like See in October when it was sold out and then actually wasn't? (trying for a pal currently and don't want to give up haha)

Fred vs anyone else, Fred. Fred vs Elton, Elton. Seen Fred twice now, and Elton too, but at Glasto you just know both will be huge vibes. Elton wins out though just for the occasion.

But then Four Tet is selling out multiple Alexandra Palace gigs too, I suppose maybe he's just happy playing anywhere really - what a guy

Bit gutted I've got a Saturday ticket, as Sunday is a bit more stacked for me. Usually do two days but after last year when the Sunday was abandoned by us I think I prefer smashing one day out and then saving the multiple days for Glasto and the like.

Will be there as I go every year but it's quite strange, there's loads of depth in the undercard but some strange placings. Would have said Four Tet is a headliner outright!

Holy fuck 😆

Such an absolutely cringe booking that feels bizarre coming from Emily who is normally right on the pulse (IMO), but at least it sounds like Guns get the significance of it - I hope they do well for those that will be there.

Can I swap this years ticket for 2024? 😅

Was wondering if they might get something like a West Holts slot? Mid to late afternoon ala Maribou State a few years ago could be a lovely time.

I think he's got an album with Brian Eno coming out that is similar to AL, but then said he's going to take a break before releasing any more within that framework, so it'll be interesting to see what comes next.

I wasn't feeling it either, not because it wasn't good, but I think Caribou put me in the mood to go and have more of a dance so we did half an hour and then saw a bit of Megan then had a mooch around for bevs and popped in and out of random stalls/stages etc, before Four Tet on Arcadia. Probably my favourite night in the end. When you're not feeling something you have to make that executive call and most of the time it feels like it works out. Kendrick had me absolutely transfixed though.

When you see it like that you realise how strong last year was for DJ's, loads of acts there that would headline festivals outright

Not hugely into many of the stage headliners but there's a lot to love on the undercard - FKA, Muna, Rina, M83 etc. Would love this tbh.

Lots of big fuckin vibes in here Probably the only time in history Ne-Yo has been billed next to Tom Jones though hahaha

Yeah, feels like a ball dropped moment to me

Haha well that's a great little ending to the story, post festival we were like "what on earth was that tube train stage? It was amazing!" but couldn't quite remember the exact details Only at Glasto ❤️

I may be misreading this, but that was a crew bar (the tube train and the tent with the disco ball next to it)? We found ourselves in there on the Sunday and had a fantastic time but definitely weren't crew or working the festival.

The crowd would be utterly enormous, particularly with the curiosity and nostalgia factor

Genuinely thought this was a Download lineup then

This is what I wanna know as well. He could either have nothing new or suprise drop an entire album tomorrow, you just never know with him. Calvin needs to bring him out for Slide though (probably extremely unlikely but it would be a moment)
