Re Groove Armada, they don't play live any more, so Red Light is their new incarnation as a DJ duo. However, the intention seems to be for it to be a cut above your usual DJ set, so it'll prob be four decks with FX and vocalists, and playing some of their own tunes. They unveiled it recently at a fest (maybe Camp Best?) if you want to Google it to find out more...

A friend of mine who works in shipping has just rang me to say they cannot get 9000 boxes of bottled water to the bestival site because its been shut down by health and safety! :O

I think it must be because of the wind. Its meant to clear up tomorrow so everything should be ok. Hope they can get everything ready in time!

I'm currently sitting in the front room in my house in East Wittering, right on the beach. I can see the (just about) the Isle of White & just about where the festival site is from where I am sitting. The sea is f**king rough right now & spray from the waves is going over the house!

Let's hope the weather gets better! B)

HI,

What`s the score with taking your own booze in to the main arena`s? is it like glasto? i have read on the website you`re not allowed but there`s always a few levels of strictness regarding this sort of thing, ie: V fest,the slight whiff of booze and the fecks will stop you!

Well...

*sigh*

This is the mother of all bitches at the festival. It's going to be mayhem between the two tents come 12am. I think these are the options:

- 1. Be close to the front to see The Cure and stay for the whole set but stand absolutely no chance of seeing Primal Scream, or at very best be at the back of the Big Top.

- 2. See The Cure, hover around mid-crowd, make our way out around 10:30pm to 11pm and get a decent spot in the middle of the Big Top (depending on who's playing before Primal Scream) - this is what I'll probably do because - as much as I love The Cure, I can only listen to so much of Prayers for Rain before I abandon all hope. If they do a greatest hits set, pick a song and then leave; mine is 'A Night Like This' or 'Lovesong'. Follow it with 2 hours of some positive vibrations listening to 'Screamadelica'. B)

- 3. Don't see The Cure at all and hover around the Big Top for the whole evening and gradually make our way to the front to see Primal Scream.

- 4. See neither band and do something else, but let's face it, it's just not an option - is it?

- 5. Be an utterly ruthless w*nkshaft and barge your way through the crowd of people as if you're a 2011 year 11 leaver, sparing no consideration for anybody BUT seeing the two most eagerly anticipated bands of the festival.

Carefully consider your options, my young Padawan.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
