I was just coming here to post that, hopefully he gets a good slot with some good sound 

Out of interest - which areas of late-night shenanigans do have good sound?

Glade is the best sounding place on site IMHO.

I struggle to think of somewhere that would really be good enough for the full Four Tet DJ experience, as long as it isn't Genosys again it'll be alright and il be there

WOW is fine sound wise, beat hotel is adequate

How easy is it to get into Wow after hours?

I'm normally over the other side grumbling about the sound at Genosys or contemplating the queue at the Temple.

WoW is usually pretty crowded. My group don't even bother if there's a big name DJ. Silver Hayes in general also attracts by far the worst late night crowd at Glastonbury imo.

Just posted this in self-confirmed but I guess it goes better here - looks like Carl Cox will be playing an acid set late Saturday night in the Unfairground (at Bez's, I'd assume)

For J.E.S.u.S last year it was silly. I was on my own, so slithered in reasonably easily but there was absolutely NO room to dance as it was shoulder to shoulder, so almost pointless. A classic case of people feeling they 'should' be at something as it's hyped and perceived as a cool place to be...

Group of us headed to the WOW stage on the Thursday for that, thoroughly miserable time, not only where all the entrances about 8 people deep, there was a near constant stream of people pushing past to try and get in, despite it being clear that there was next to no chance of getting in. My mates decided they wanted to get in, I waited outside for them, and about 10 minutes later they emerged, covered in sweat and said that they had managed to move about 3 metres inside the tent and given up.

Long story short - for anyone that is big it's an absolute arse of a place.

Agreed, I spent about 10/15 mins trying to squeeze my way in, gave up and headed elsewhere

That why you turned up Ben?

Jesus was always going to be a shit show. The only set I'd heard beforehand was fucking awful as well

I think JESuS sets always seem like they're having too much of a good time to concentrate on djing

 

I met Jackmaster at the football yesterday, he was hammered he's really good crack actually and great value as a DJ, I really like his sets, shame he won't be there this year

My brother caught their set in Heaven last year and he pretty much said the same thing. Apparently Eats Everything could barely stand up.

Far better places to watch dance music on site too I guess, I think the Silver Hayes area is ok during the day, just turns into an area of grim despair once the light dims.

I camped in Pylon last year and passed through it at night quite a few times, didn't think it was horrific but unless it was someone I really wanted to see I wouldn't hang around there much

Glade, Arcadia, Beat Hotel, not to mention SE Corner.

Yeah - I wasn't very specific with my question, really.

IMO - Arcadia too quiet (have to right in amongst it and then can't see it), Glade finishes too early, Beat Hotel too far away from other stuff. 

SE Corner - Genosys too quiet, Downlow queues too long, Temple is OK though!

Where else is good?

(blimey, am I that grumpy?)

What Mr Two Hats said basically

When I say it's grim I mean that the crowds can be really bad (in terms of size), the vibe itself can be less than pleasant and it never feels like a destination that I want to spend time in at night, always has the feeling of a thoroughfare - even somewhere like Stonebridge is preferable for me than watching someone in the WOW or Sonic tents after dark - although Carl Craig in 2013 was pretty special

Stonebridge Bar, it gets pretty busy up there sometimes though
