You are, of course, correct! But...but...maths 😂 Ben

This, I think. Lost Souls of Saturn on IICON on Friday, Greenpeace Rave Tree late on Saturday, I'll wager. Ben

The Rave Tree doesn't get its own listing, so are we are assuming that some/many/most of the DJ acts late at Greenpeacce are all up the tree? (as opposed to the actual GP stage) Ben

Yes, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to use it! I'm conscious of the 'poor' timing of my entry to the SEC post Park. Banking on Four Tet on IICON and the Chems on Arcadia mopping up a lot of people at that time so that The Temple queue is manageable. Getting into the SEC should be OK in itself. Ben

Mine is an in and out! Lost Souls of Saturn > Fever Ray > Temple Ben

Which should be fantastic! I'll be there pre-Fever Ray (Friday) Ben

It's got three pillars rather than two! That's 50%, lad! 😂 Ben

He's announced that the set is The Blue Notebooks 🙌🏽 Ben

Agreed. A programme offering me a genuine alternative to the SEC, at least for for the first half of the night. Ben

I think you mean wishing for anything but sun!! Ben

I'm banking on this! Ben

Oh please... That Saturday night is a nightmare for me to get to all the stuff on the list! Ben

Hard agree. Ben

You'll have a great time. It's one of my very favourite stages and great for a headliner. Get close enough to the stage to avoid Stonebridge sound bleed. Ben

Well... Frustratingly none of the headliners are pushing my buttons, so a few of us are headliner-free that night (likely Fever Ray Friday and defo Phoenix Sunday...). Plan atm is Kid Kapichi in Leftfield (or Ezra Collective on WH, damn you, Glastonbury!) before heading up to Lonely Hearts for the first half of the night, then to the SEC for the second half. It's sometimes quite liberating not having a 'proper' headliner set that you want to see! Ben

Also, inexplicably to me, some people just can never be bothered to go up to The Park, so him being up there is another factor in it not being rammo, I think. Ben

I think it'll be OK, personally (not that I'm going!). The profile of headliners across the 5 main stages will split the crowd well, I reckon. FBS - busy, but not 'overcrowded'. Ben

Yeah, it's the Temple queue as the possible issue, not the SEC itself. Ben x

Yes indeedy! Ben

Really annoyed at the position of ToC's slot as I think I'll have to be dancing to some trance at The Levels at that time!! Ben

Nice list, and I think I'll be where you are a lot of the time if you stick to this! However, there's no way I'm going to be at Overmono or Bicep. As they're not playing 😄 Ben

100% If asked, I describe them as psych-space jazz. And ridiculously good. One of my most anticipated sets of the festival. Loved them on West holts a few years ago, and can't wait to hear stuff from the latest (excellent) album. Ben

He doesn't finish his headline slot on Park until 0015h, so I think we're sure it's the 0300-0430h. Ben

Oooh, I've got half an eye on that Iffy set too. Are you sure you're not just me? I think the more sensible option for me is a bit of FloPo and Daphni after Fever Ray, as we're right above the Spider and didn't get there at all last year. Them down to the SEC after that. But, you've made me think now about maybe trying to get into the Temple now! Agh, what am I saying? Four Tet's ubercrowd notwithstanding, the queue will still be monstrous at 0030h, I think. That'll be a head scratcher as Fever Ray finishes. A bit frustrating that the Park set finishes 390 mins after all of the other 4 big stages! Ben

I really wanted to see these guys, but I just don't think it's gonna work for me. I'll almost certainly be in the psytrance Nirvana in the Glade Dome when they're on. Glastonbury, eh?! Ben
