Not directly Glasto related, but the George Fitzgerald album Fading Love is a cracker.

Really recommend it to anyone looking to fill 40 minutes of their day

Need to check this out, his remix of Open Eye Signal is a monster.

Let's keep this thread alive, I much prefer to to the Headliner thread and the ones about The Who, they're all getting a bit weird.

Not posted for ages but always lurk about and found something i had to share cause it was amazing last year. Circoloco looking like they're doing a Thursday thing again. Ellen Allien and Apollonia showing dates.

That is huge, the Circoloco take over last year was so much fun.

Last year someone posted on here about Parov Stellar. Thought his stuff sounded awesome but ended up missing him/them due to a horrible clash. I really like the idea of dancing to some Electro Swing at Glastonbury this year.

Got to admit, that while what I've heard sounds awesome, its not a genre I know that much about. Anybody got any recommendations and is there any body likely to play I should be checking out?

Gypsy Hill might do it for you. Gypsy electro jazz, last time I saw them, a full band with DJ man in the middle, was good stuff.

Sbtrkt confirmed according to his tour dates: http://sbtrkt.com/home/

I know he's not the most popular round here but I'll probably be there give or take clashes.

I wonder if this adds weight to the idea that there was a plan to release more of the lineup up today, pretty sure this wasn't there a few days ago.

So, I texted my 17 year old asking him to point me in the direction of SBTRKT tracks to listen to, to convince me that no, actually I do like this stuff.

Listened to Never Never, Sanctuary, Higher (oooh, bad words, young man...) and a few others. I kinda like it, but it's not quite the 'engulfing' sound I look for. I need almost to be consumed by my dance music...taken into it, if you will. Hopefully that doesn't sound too w*nky.

Apologies, folks.

Read through that again and can confirm that I sounded like a tit.

I do know what I mean, mind!

Saw SBTRKT off the back off his debut album when he played with Sampha live, absolutely amazing set. Then caught sbtrkt playing recently off the back of his recent album and it was pretty average. Might give him another go if there are no clashes. Curious as to where he would play.

    • My party again had an outstanding 4 days in Barca. We made the right call to leave the festival site early at about 10.30 on Thursday to get ourselves some excellent steaks in the city. I am with everyone that the organization should have been clearer about what is going on and also if you would like to get rid of some attendees open more exits, they sent us from gate to gate until we finally were able to get out. Biggest 'disappointment' was the beer price, a YoY increase from 5 to 6 is absolutely nuts!!! (i am living in Switzerland so me making this comment says something 🙂)   Top 10:   1. Men I Trust 2. Role Model (could have been first as well, what a great artist and great songs) 3. The XX 4. The cure (the last 90 minutes) 5. Gorillaz 6. MBV 7. Ninajirachi (another big miss of the organization, clearly on the wrong podium and wonder if Olivia's surprise set had something to do with that and they had to reschuffle late the Occident, Cupra and Port schedules) 8. NewDad 9. Big Thief 10. Annastashia      We did 3 years Barca now and for next year looking at the Porto or Bilbao festivals as an option. 
    • Personally if it was me now, I would be grabbing a green camping ticket with the knowledge closer when I've refreshed that I can still choose general if I want to....you can't do the opposite!    I would say if you are happy to watch your headliners and big bands further back to be able to see who you actually plan to later then yes it is fine. Its a much difference experience to any other festival especially food wise and camping surrounds.    Once you're in the arena as well you're not going back unless you've got a gap. If I go again I'll be going with the option of not trying to push the front and enjoying further back as you actually put too much pressure on it than the time take away can forget to enjoy other acts.
    • No complaints about the sound. We were like 2nd set of steps facing stage right in like the middle row.
    • On the whole then,yay or nay...I've had a look on festivals united and there's people who seem converted by Rock Im Park, I can imagine it might be different if it was a washout as RaR is tarmac.   The hotel side would be more to convince the non campers if it's an option. On my first visit to rock am ring we were shuttled into the area where you could stick the car next to the tent which was fantastic as it meant zero lugging of camping gear.
