I totally agree.

A. the Park/other special guest slots if you havent all already noticed are in pretty much the day time.

b. anyone who has ever seen one of their shows other than the final one at Maida Vale (...Me!) does kinda involve a f**kton of equipment, lighting, visuals etc and so a secret somewhat unannounced show is kinda unlikely...

c. not to mention the fact lovely (but silly) old Phil kinda mouthed off about Glasto being a little too commercial for his liking these days. (May have something to do with the weird arse reaction to his DJ set from all the f**king EMO's loving the cocksukcer artist on before him before he played in the Dance Village last year with is lovely new missus at 2am Monday morning!)

d. I wish it more than anything on this planet but know I have to be content with Brighton this Wednesday, Big Chill in August and Get Loaded in Clapham...heyho!

I'm very dissapointed by what Phil said. It didn't stop them releasing a "commercial" live album all of Glastonbury recordings. It also didn't stop the Long Range gig at Glastonbury recently.

This said I'll be at that Shangri La "so massive we'll be sacked if we tell you" gig hoping expectantly.

Hope you enjoy your gigs. I'm only allowed limited time away from parental responsibilities, so have to put all of my proverbial eggs in the Glastonbury basket. It'll still be superb wihtout them.

I saw 'em in '94 too: the best ever 'techno' show I've seen!

Saw 'em first in '93 at a small megadog event in manchester, but I have to say I preferred glasto.

Shame that without a 'guest appearance' they're not on this year: they may be saving an extra special performance for next year's 40th celebrations, and I will be there! :blink:

I would be a serious happy chappy if it turned out the special guests were micheal franti & orbital.

Though if the special guest slots are in the middle of the day, wouldn't that detract a bit from the atmosphere for orbital?

If it's not them, I think I'll get tickets to see them in manchester

Love Orbital, but i think the suprise act will be The Gossip, work in a record shop, new album is been sold in by their supplier, they want us to up the order due to the fact they're playing Glastonbury?? Could be shite, who knows, don't think they are down on the official line up.

      We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.

      Sziget 2026

      By CCester · Posted

      The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
