what else pees me off about parklife is that it is almost TOO all encompassing.

you have the likes of Moodymann on the same lineup as someone like Jess Glynne. I don't want Jess Glynne fans anywhere near me to be honest, certainly not scraggy northern working class Jess Glynne fans

You could cream off the top 30% of the acts and make a world class festival, dropping the other 70% in the bin where they belong.

Its the acts on the lineup that I don't like that bring the crowd element that I don't like mostly. The north deserves a great festival and this will never be it.

Apart from a couple of acts, it's just all very predictable 

Chaka Khan being one of them, she would be great to see but will probably go down like a lead balloon and be way over the heads of most of the 19 year old audience. Same when Grace Jones played it.

[Mezhyp1]

Not that it was ever likely, but Larry Heard is an exclusive at Sunfall

Which is a fucking wonderful line up 

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Yeah that Sunfall line up is brilliant, picked up a super earlybird ticket ages ago for £20, really well curated festival as far as I'm concerned.

[Tuna]

God forbid we have variety at a festival! Fuck's sake.

[Memory Man]

seriously great sunfall lineup. I would pay for Larry Heard and Roy Ayers and anything else I saw would be a bonus!

[Matt42]

Sunfall has a better lineup than field day or parklife imo

[Tuna]

How was Sunfall last year? Don't know many people that actually went in the end.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I know a few people that went, said it was really well organised, great soundsystems, no complaints from them whatsoever.

exactly. Took me 2 or 3 visits but i will not be going back.

its basically the student farewell festival

full of dreadful people who wouldnt know good music if it slapped them in the chops. which makes it all the more odd why it gets such a good lineup. Its the WHP festival isnt it..... they get them all on exclusive contracts for WHP & parklife and probably combined in some cases (most likely). chuck the albert hall shows in there as well for good measure.

Doesn't help at all that its in a pretty rough area of manchester, or at least fairly close to some rough areas. It was better at Platt Fields park.

Eh? Platt Fields is in one of the roughest areas going. Fallowfield, rusholme and moss side. Heaton Park isnt that bad to be honest.

I chuckled at that as well.

Yeah Heaton Park is alright, spent most of my summer holidays there as a kid, Prestwich is a much nicer place then a fair few parts of Manchester.

[Matt42]

ideally if Glastonbury get any of; Ben UFO, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Pangaea, Joy Orbison, The Black Madonna, Helena Hauff, Mr G, Beautiful Swimmers, HAAi, Jackmaster, Move D, Peggy Gou, Marcel Dettmann, Nina Kraviz, Lena Willikens, Ricardo Villalobos, Avalon Emerson, Midland, Bicep, Craig Richards, Jeremy Underground, Kornel Kovacs, Mall Grab, Moxie, Call Super, DJ Nobu, Objekt, KiNK, Matrixxman, Pearson Sound, Jane Fitz, Artefakt, Blawan, Dr Rubenstein, Rodhad, Truncate

I've left out loads but if Glastonbury can scoop up a good deal of these i'd be happy... all seem to be about in June so it's a fingers crossed jobby

[LSF]

Only hope of Marcel Dettmann and Nina K would on the Friday. Throw them and Rodhad onto the Arcadia line up and that'd be something special. 

Very unlikely though.

Helena Hauff, Derrick Carter, Robert Hood, Shanti Celeste, Moodymann and Joseph Capriati is my short and ambitious wishlist

Capriati is only playing awakenings on the sunday. No reason why he can't do Thursday or Friday

He can't do Thursday because good acts on the Thursday are faaaaaar too busy. He's Arcadia or nothing

He's on the Sat as well on the Area X. Managed to ask him a couple months ago when I got behind the decks if he's on at glasto and he said 'I hope so!' but guessing he won't be 

[VisionOfLove]

Gottwood festival same weekend as parklife and a MUCH better lineup

If Ben Klock can play Berlin, Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol all on the same day (NYD this year), then surely Mr Capriati can find his way to Glastonbury over the Awakenings weekend...?

The cynic in me would say Mr Klock was getting paid a fair bit of cash for his excursions on NYD

Where's Nobu playing June? Been in Tokyo for a few months and seen him a couple of times, brilliant of course

Nice list btw, bufo, black Madonna, joy o, jackmaster, midland all guaranteed surely 

[zero000]

Would love to see Stephan Bodzin on the farm. Atmospheric techno to the max:

Seen the Bluedot lineup Benny?  Orbital + Rival Consoles - seems up your street to put it mildly.
