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

    • How much is Burnham's success down to Manchester getting a shitton of investment for public transport infrastructure?   There's no doubt he did the work, but the money dumped into Manchester for him to achieve that was huge - the most of any infrastructure project outside London ever. Did that need a mayor, or just the money?
    • Sounds good tbh. 
    • Bristol was the only city in 2012 that voted for a mayor. We had a local independent who was popular, then Marvin Rees won and was so corrupt that Bristol voted to get rid of the position - having just had the WECA mayor position put in place as well.
    • They built a watering system and have been watering the island for the past few weeks to reduce dust, but given the current drought, there will still be dust. They will cover twice as much ground around the main stage with those plastic panels as they did before. They couldn't book Gogol Bordello because the singer was afraid the government would allow Russian security services to capture him if he entered the country. They didn't have much room to be selective about artists. They booked whoever they could get. This year's Sziget will be only about 50% of his original vision. He wanted a dedicated rock stage. They are preparing for a loss of 1.5 billion HUF this year. For some reason, student tickets are not selling in the numbers they had expected. He said that when he talks about the lineup being less important, he doesn't mean Sziget should have a weaker lineup than Primavera. Rather, it should have a similarly strong lineup combined with much more non-musical programming, so people from abroad come here to see the same artists but have a completely different overall experience. He didn't miss Sziget and originally wanted to spend no more than two days a week dealing with it, but now he's working on it full-time and has handed over control of the rest of his businesses.  
    • Well the point seems to be 22.7% turn out doesn't suggest the majority are rushing out to support the mayoral system.
