Well, at the risk of angering the Gods of music snobbery...

I think a spot of Courteeners and Jungle will go down a treat on a Sunny afternoon with a cider in hand.

Of course if there's a better act on somewhere else, I'll wander off to that instead :)

if those acts, in that order, are what the have in store for later on in the day then i dread to think that they've got for earlier. but i will be there (possibly) for the Other opener (unless the fact that it's Bastille leaks earlier that day). hoping for some better acts on Other for the other days (although tbh, the less time i have to spend there the better, so maybe not - just Chemical Brothers please)

You like parenthesis don't you?

The Field is playing in Iceland for ATP the week after, so maybe he'll be joining him there too.

oooh, hope so. The Field did a majestic set at Green Man last year.

Came on to no fanfare, started, played live for an hour and a half looping like a good 'un, went off to similarly no fanfare - epic!

some people seem to have an issue with their "appropriation" of black music/culture, or some bollocks reason like that.

I have no problem with that at all. I have a problem with the fact that they are exceptionally dull. Same monotonous indulgent funk groove over and over and over and...

Mind you, my 17 year old son loves 'em, so what do I know, Grandad...?

Huge following amongst the Everton crowd.

Ha - it'll be nice to watch them with a more normal crowd as it won't have as much of an edge at Glastonbury. That's if I make it out of Heaton park alive...I'm starting to regret getting tickets for that!

That's what I'm talking about! Also missed them last year, but hopefully the stars will align this time around and it'll be cumbia o'clock at some point.

Y'arriba!

They were one of my highlights last year - definitely recommend checking them out

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add 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.
    • 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.
