Sleaford Mods is a good one, not sure that JPT will be the right place for them, though. I worry it'll be full of grinning buffoons treating them as a bit of a sideshow. Hopefully they'll freak the shit out of enough people to create a good atmosphere.

Should definitely be a good atmosphere, they couldn't play on any of the other main stages, JPT makes sense to me

The Ting Tings uncles full of lager and bitterness on bad Es doing karaoke at the CIU Club, was my favourite description of them.

They're utter utter shit.

Adds a tiny bit of credence to that poster who's been calling some 'info'.

Heard plenty about them, never heard them. Just had a listen in full to Divide and Exit. Not for me I'm afraid therefore I'm out.

Never seen anybody play in the John Peel tent in the five I've been to, will make the effort to go there this time. Spend most of my time in Avalon and at Acoustic.

Royal Blood were the first act I had seen in there. Really liked it. Wouldn't mind seeing a headliner in there.

Never been to the acoustic - I want to put that right this year

Decent bar at the Acoustic, great vibe there as well. Sound could do with a little improvement.

is that Sicknote that had Dr Conker?

Yeah the one and only Dr conker. Saw them live a few times and every time they blew the roof off. Pity they split after his death but i don't think Flaspandwich and Doghouse had been getting on for a while. It never showed in there live performances though

You should go then you can realise it isn't worth the trek most of the time. For added fun, go via Silver Hayes during peak time and past the Other when someone you dislike with a massive crowd is playing.

I haven't been to the Acoustic field, let alone tent, in the 8 years I've been going. I only have the vague idea of where it is and wouldn't feel confident in directing someone to it. I don't have the urge to rectify this.

You can hardly miss it, the tents pretty visible onsite.

+1 for Silver Hayes (and John Peel for that matter, though I'll make an exception if its someone I fancy seeing). I feel old when I'm up that end.

West Holts, Park, Pyramid, Acoustic, Avalon in that order!!!

Oh, I've probably seen it over the trees, but I've never been into the field to confirm it.

I'm relatively happy to go to Silver Hayes, but trekking through it and its bottlenecks, particularly in a muddy year, is beyond me most of the time.

My pal thinks the JP doesn't exist. He just never gets there. I've seen one headliner in there. The Streets. Was ace. But I don't head that side that much. Same as you Avalon and Acoustic for me.

As for Sleaford, I'm still not sure, I kinda like it then I change my mind. I'm gonna give them more of a listen. They defo been confirmed then?

      Muse will be about but the issue with Muse is that they’ll have the pick of doing IOW, BST, Glasto, R&L or big parks/stadiums.

      Holt Farm Glamping

      By parsonjack · Posted

      Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞

      Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By homesick · Posted

      I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)
