After months of wondering what all the fuss was about, I finally typed 'Chic' into Spotify... that's Chic???. So now it's Arctic Monkeys vs Cyrstal Castles vs Portishead vs Chic... and nothing on Sunday night!!

I love a West Holts headliner, my favorite stage (great views, great atmosphere, toilet food and drink all 2 minutes walk away) probably so I suspect I will be plugging to Chic. Really can't wait for Friday night, not matter what I'm going to have a great time

Jeez. Looking at the collaborators list, there is no way that album won't be huge AND probably pretty damn good too.

Re: Jazz/Wor....I mean West Holts, I've not watched much in that field TBH but went to see Cee Lo last time round. The weather was fucking awful, wet windy and cold. Cee Lo was IMO, pretty w*nk (good songs but poor vocal performance). The atmosphere was however excellent. Welly raving going on everywhere, singing along at tops of voices, big smiles. Loved it.

In the last couple of years I've seen Breakestra with Chali 2na, Go Go Team and Hercules and Love Affair there and the atmosphere has been brilliant for each one.

So brilliant I was caught on the BBC dancing (which I don't do much)-on 1.09 on this clip when they put the camera on a guy with a hat I'm the big fingerpointing guy behind him with the Brown and White t-shirt on. There will be more of this at Chic

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
