arcadia line up when ?

[Dukeicon]

Roughly correct; there will also be some small side shows earlier - I think the timing may coincide with the changeover on the Other Stage. One of the things is new for Glastonbury, so worth a look if one is over that way.

[whateverman]

Be cool if they could run an audio cable to the mixing desk on the other stage and blast it out of that. A phono lead should do the job

[paulo999]

I guess that'll be The Tornado then?

[Dukeicon]

Yessy.

[bigbilly]

Do you reckon the flames will be shooting out before the music?

[swede]

I was hoping they would make a big song and dance about arcadia this year to attract as many as possible away from the SE corner, however they don't seem to be doing this.

Doesn't make much sense to me as at the moment many casual festival goers (i.e those not glued to this board) probably wouldnt even know its moved, let alone be attracted to go anywhere else than the SE corner.

I thought the whole point of moving it was so that they could spread the late night crowds better, i don't see how not confirming artists and pushing it in such a manner will help really.

Looks like sheep being herded to SE corner again this year, something which i was hoping would be less of an issue.

Sweet! That was some pretty cool (very hot) stuff at Bestival!

Mushroom as well, or is that wishful thinking?

[Nickyboy]

I said on another thread - Arcadia runs 12am to 2am each night Friday Saturday and Sunday (no Thursday). Other stage scheduled to finish around 11:45 - they'll be no probs

[Dukeicon]

No mushroom AFAIK, unless it's been kept very secret (my guess is not - needs a *massive* amount of clear & secure space to do it.

Apologies for that.....that Thursday night must be newish.....good news

Ratpack just self-confirmed for Sunday night on twitter. The old skool rave ratpack, not frank, dean, Sammy. Should be a great end to the weekend!

Oh, and accompanied by Baby D and Angie Brown. Gets better.

[Bisque]

I would love to be given the opportunity of an hour DJ set on that thing. Those Funktion Ones sound beautiful pumping out drum & bass.

I hope Andy C & the Ram boys are playing

[Bisque]

I spoke to London Elektricity on Thursday, why isn't playing is a mystery.

True, they also have it set up in a circular pattern projecting inwards, this means effectively if you get the phasing right the sound waves cancel each other out as soon as you move outside the circle. Projects far less than a Line array from one of the main stages.

I remember at bestval standing right behind one of the stacks and it was quiet enough to have a normal conversation, move into the circle and it as massively loud. Only thing is I guess if the crowd is big not everyone can be in the circle.

[rikkirascal]

Funktion One aren't the be all and end all. There's so many other systems (if not better) sound systems out there!

[staggerlee]

So does this mostly play drum and bass?

[fur_q]

I read somewhere on this forum that Funktion One weren't supplying the speakers @ Glastonbury anymore, I also read on a blog somewhere that there was a falling out over the sound quality one year and that for the last few years they have used line arrays? Funktion One have never made a line array, Tony Andrews has never appeared to be a fan.

Unless of course the differences have been settled with Glastonbury and Funktion One..

I was a bit surprised to read that bad press as Funktion One are supposedly the holy grail.

[chestwig]

Arcadia use a Funktion-One Ambisonic sound system - one of the advantages of which is that sound can be heavily localised, limiting external impact (obviously there will still be some - but maybe not as much with a conventional setup)

[danbailey80]

So....

Friday: RAM records with Andy C etc (prob with Loadstar or Wilkinson etc)

Saturday: ??????

Sunday: Ratpack with Baby D and Angie Brown

Any rumours for the Saturday...?

A little surprised with the Ratpack booking, no one really knows about them anymore but will work..

I predict an announcement today. Arcadia on facebook said leak soon 3 days ago..
