Agree on the music point - a lot of it didn't work and fell a bit flat.

But the atmosphere's pretty amazing, and once they start playing better music the whole thing becomes a rather transcendental experience, as I'm sure anyone who heard Here Comes The Sun through Despacio earlier this year will tell you.

Everyone one loves an bit of LCD SS, 2manyDJs and even a JM DJ set, but from a tunage perspective this is a different kettle of fish. Yeah the above dudes are doing it, but I have reservations as to the nature of the tunes that will be played and what some may expect from these names.

I will wander by at some point, but I suspect it will be "check out those speaker stacks, wow!", have a quick bop; realize you want something "more" and head off................

unless of course the set is in full swing...........but that would be lucky timing

the music they play is really not very interesting or enjoyable what so ever. its drab, pretentious and dronie. i could of gone on an off night were they just had really cack choices, but i dont reckon.

anyone else seen them do this before, what did you think?

to be honest i would COMPLETELY disagree with you! we went to the saturday night in manchester and it was one of my favourite ever clubbing experiences. it was just sublime and amazing from start to finish. yes they throw in some odd balls, but its brilliant.

I f+cking love Daneil Avery but we didnt get anything remotely like that at the sat night in london that we went to. most people were stood around chatting, and i know that most of my group, who are very seasoned clubbers, were finding it hard to get into and dance with a decent amount of gusto & enthusiasm.

we all went on the reception that it had in manchester from people we all know. and they too said it was amazing. thus why we went, and we had high hopes.

maybe we just went on a duff night with duff music. if they are playing for hours every day at glasto then maybe they would play more sets like the one in manchester. i hope so as from what you say, and the people that i know, a fantastic experience could be had.

I went twice, once in Hammersmith and once at the Roundhouse, and it was up there as one of the best gigs I've ever been to Dance wise. So many good memories, altho I think the best one was when they played Mr Oizo really slowed down, followed by Hot Chocolate followed by Harry Thurmann, just a really great experience, hopefully it won't be too rammed at Glasto, or be drowned out by the other stages in Silver Hayes

This playlist sums up the music perfectly. Definitely worth a listen

This is brilliant news!

Went to Despacio in Manchester last summer and it was one of the best nights musically i've ever been to

Like others have said, its starts slow tempo - disco, funk soul etc and then builds gradually.. the last 1 hour or so was full on 2ManyDJs/LCD Soundsystem type stuff and it was just superb

:D

I'm so excited about this. Was hoping 2ManyDJs would be there in some way shape or form. this is definitely a must see for me now.

It's not really 2many dj's tho is it. Sounds like something so much better than that.

makes me think i was lucky to go to the manc one then!

mind you was always going to be better than a london crowd ;)

they will probably realise they can't just drop obscure stuff the entire time at a festival. another track i remember from the night we went was Harry Thumann - underwater!

they played a bit of rock early on as well, it is nice and varied! i agree tho it was at a hall with a wooden floor, quite a lot different to a tent!

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
