Beat Hotel you say I was there Thursday this year when my namesake Seth Troxler was giving one of the highlights of the festival for me fantastic.
See you there next year!

Having been going to Rockness since it began and spending most of my T experience in the Slam tent I had high expectations for Glastonburys dance stages and acts. 2014 was my first year and it's utterly mindblowing the choices on offer. I spent a good few hours dancing my arse of to 2 many DJ's doing their Despacio set then of to Sasha on the Thursday (Glade is insane, like a club outside with the lights and sound nicely tucked away into the trees), Skrillex and Richie Hawtin Friday, DJ AFX, DJ Sneak, Seth Troxler, Four Tet, Dan Le Sac, Bonobo are the ones I can remember from all over the weekend and most of these were before I even spent the whole of Sunday night in the SE corner which frankly is the best fucking thing I've ever done in my life. Electronic music at Glastonbury is sensational and I've only been once! Can't wait till next year.

Well, if the earlier repsonses to my OP had not got me adequately wetting myself in anticipation, your post confirmed complete incontinence, blackg1000.

Last year for me was by far the strongest yet for Dance music, and it's been superb for years. Honestly there was so much spread across the site, it was fantastic (apart from the NYC Downlow debacle for Morales' tribute to FK).

Silver Hayes

SE Corner

Beat Hotel

Glade (my fave)

Park area (Stonebridge Bar, Rabbit Hole)

Arcadia

Plus sporadic bits n bobs everywhere else.

OP, you will not be disappointed, guaranteed!

Looks like he won't be there with Enter this year:

Richie Hawtin brings his ENTER. concept to East London's Tobacco Dock on Saturday 11th April for what will be the only UK date of 2015.

I have dj'd for quite a while around manchester. Mainly adam beyer style techno and trance - warmed up for quite a few big acts (in trance circles).

I was wondering how to go about getting a set at the festival? I have a ticket, so this isn't about blagging my way into the festival - its about doing something I've always wanted to. Any stage / tent at any time. I'd love to just have said "I played at glastonbury once!"

Any help would be appreciated.

I'll be your warm up dj then mate. Not sure how my vinyl Italian house sets would fare up with your techno and trance though.

Whats peeps opinion on Hot Chip making an appearance this year?

I'm sure it could work!

I could not be arsed dragging bags of vinyl to Glasto and would be too paranoid about leaving them in a tent.

I should really move with the times but I am too stuck in my ways.

surely must be likely considering they're doing one/a couple of other festivals earlier in the year. have never seen them live so would be all over that

I agree, a band I have never seen that I would be absolutely all over, in the early evening sunshine on the other stage would just be massive, really hoping them announcing a few live dates means they have glastonbury in mind

Did Underworld play last year? I'd love to see them at Glastonbury. Had the pleasure of witnessing them at Space in Ibiza a couple of summers ago with Darren Emerson back with them. Is he back with the band permanently now?

No, although there was talk that it seemed like 2014 would have been a good year for them to come back.

They're doing dubnobasswithmyheadman in full this year, I suppose they could turn up at glastonbury to do that

Man i hope so. If Orbital can headline the other stage then i don't see why Underworld can't.

I think there's every chance they'll play, but I don't see them headlining the other stage at all these days, they could headline or sub JP I think

yep. Orbital had just reformed so there was a lot of buzz about them when they headlined Other. Underworld have just kept on plodding on, so definitely can't see them taking such a high slot

Yeh I guess so. Orbital headlined in 2010 though. I can't see them on JP at all, maybe West Holts.

    • Best of all is to get the tram, then call a taxi for very short not-rip-off ride once in the centre.
    • Would you decide to go once more I recommend to queu up at the ‘official’ freenow taxi line ( 5 min walk from the main gate). It might take 15 min or so but they are not ripping you off. Even at 3 or 4 in the night it costed us about 25eur to the city center. 
    • How do you mean? Better as a hotel/ festival combo?   I've done rock am ring at both sites.....unpopular opinion I much preferred the mending site and really didn't like the long and narrow main stage at RaR.
    • Yesterday was another brilliant day of music for me. Some highlights:  My Bloody Valentine - absolutely loved it! Maybe my main festival highlight. I felt submerged in the music with all the layers and distortion. It becomes hypnotic almost as it progresses. Not as loud as some thought it might be, but it didn’t need to be. The visuals added a lot too. During the noise part of You Made me Realise, I was basically in a trance staring at the visual tunnel or whatever it was on screen. Amazing experience. Little Simz - as she mentioned at the start, you’re guaranteed a good time with her. Great performance just like in 2022. Zero complaints. The little DJ section wasn't something I expected but was cool. Kneecap - I had a blast but at this point in the night I was at my most intoxicated let's say, so I don’t remember it as clearly as I'd have liked to!    The xx - The sound for this was perfectly balanced (at least where I was) and the band were great. Lots of talkers, but with the crowd size and being kind of far back, it's to be expected. Intro was one of my favourite moments this year. Big Thief - really good live performers. The lead singer has a lovely voice. This was a nice chill way to kick off the mordor gigs for me.  
    • I've been attending Primavera every year since my first one in 2017 & it's always been my favourite week of the year, but I think things have changed.   Firstly, the site just feels too busy in this current set-up. I'm sure it was a lot easier back in 2017-19 to get between the stages & then a good spot for the next one, but now you increasingly have to sacrifice parts of a set or miss them out completely to plan for later on. I wish we still had the Bits area over the bridge to spread everyone out.   But the main issue is the talking, it's always been here but this year it's been relentless & I just can't tolerate it any more. It's at every stage, and everywhere from the front to the back, there is no escape. Not focusing on nationalities, but a major dynamic now seems to be groups of people who are only focusing on their own good time & aren't interested if this affects anyone else. It seems essential that all members of the group are together at the same time, so it's people making telephone calls, people on shoulders waving phone torches, people barging through. It's alright, I'm only trying to watch The Cure here.   I will have a year away to think about it. I thought might give up completely but yesterday was a bit of a classic day after two unenjoyable ones. Adding Olivia Rodrigo to Baxter Dury, Gelli Haha, The XX, Gorillaz & Kneecap shows how good it can be, but as with everything, it's always the people that have the biggest impact.
