Well, team...where to start?   Apologies for taking a while to get to this. Unfortunately, on Wednesday my usual post-Farm recovery (by gods, needed this year!) evolved into something altoge

Right Team, I've made a start on the big excel spreadsheet.  I won't have time to do every stage this year, so I've made this editable for anyone who would like to give a helping hand and contri

OK, long post. Strap in. Got pretty obsessed about secret areas (piano bar, rabbit hole etc) in my earliest Glastonbury years and I happened to read this in the build up to the 2016 festival. Jus

Be surprised if Palms Trax wasn't at Beat Hotel or Stonebridge. Excited to see Ben's thoughts... MCDE next? 

That would be the dream for me and my mates! I saw that thing on Resident Advisor he did and he suffers from anxiety issues so is quite selective in his gigs and doesn't ever take too much on. I can't see him doing Glastonbury for the money that'd be on offer with that being the case. Shame.

So...

I've listened to the whole of the Antal set and, in fact, had already listened to the Hunee set.

Guys, guys, guys...

That they are terrific mixers is not in any doubt. But. Awww man, it's just too flipping major key for me! I can't lie. I like my music minor. Pretty much all of it! I listen to loads of electronica, ambient, drone etc. and almost all of my favourite stuff is minimal, glitchy and minor in key. I guess it's the extrapolation of that into dance music for me that is the reason why techno resonates so much - and, indeed, why most of today's tank top selfie tech-house (love that!) doesn't.

Palms Trax? For this Benny...? Face Palm Trax.

I am very happy to go searching for stuff in the line up and I know I'll find it. But funky electro-pop and disco, no matter how well mixed, might not quite be it!

The Blues probably works, Maceo Plex last year was a bit odd, L U C Y would be even more so 

I turned up for Maceo Plex but I reckon I must have got my times wrong because there was only jungle coming out of The Blues.

Definitely saw him a couple weeks later at Dour and he was great.

At least Lucy isn't in Sonic!

Begs the question, where the hell is he? Not Gully, not Wow!, not Sonic.

Can't be Pussy Parlure, surely?

Which leaves...The Blues...

Blimey

:huh:

Ben

Are we sure it's the techno Lucy rather than another?

Palms Trax has been on the Beat hotel line up recently. can't remember the year though. '14, '15 maybe?

Ah right, cheers. That'll be quite early on then and clash with Super Saturday on West Holts.  Oh well - will keep an eye on them cropping up elsewhere. 

Im pretty sure he is somewhere else too. On his own. My mate runs a night in manchester and had Hunee on, was impressed.

Yeah, Cieran - his RA listings has him in Silver Hayes on Thursday. 

Ben

Last time I checked, RA were listing some other acts for Thursday who definitely weren't playing then so I think the day thing can be ignored. 

Extrapolating on that, the fact there's no other similar DJs and the odd typing and I don't think it's him.

Sorry to be a misery.

Soul-destroyingly, I think you're right:

L U C Y Facebook

RA have done no favours there. 

Luckily that means we have another Grime / DubStep act on the bill

Good searching! I had spent ages googling but didn't get anywhere.

Yeah, that'll be it. Another stab to Ben's techno dream.

I'm feeling this.  Where's he playing?

He's doing a few but Beat Hotel on Thursday is the one I'm turning up for and as Benny says he'll be in Wow! with Antal on Saturday.

He's also doing NYC Downlow on Friday night.

      Anyone selling a medium camper van parking ticket??

      By Pregnantandscrewed · Posted

      Is anyone selling a medium camper van parking spot - I would love to buy it off you!   Bought our tickets a while ago and have since found out gf is pregnant and will be 7 months by festival! Luckily family have just bought a camper van we can borrow so we can still come along but… the medium parking spots have sold out 😞

      Sure enough I did finish the Brosnan Bonds. Goldeneye is good but I think might be overrated by some Bond mega-fans, The World Is Not Enough is ok but nothing more than that and Die Another Day is just wild. I didn't hate Die Another Day like some have but its basically a wacky sci-fi film with Bond movie clothes.

      Monaco comes across to me as something that's great for just watching people driving around, especially this year as it feels like this is a track where they can actually push compared to other circuits where superclipping ruins it, but where the cars seem to have outgrown it.   Though tbf Formula E has had decent Monaco races recently so maybe its a sign of car development philosophy being a factor.

      2027 Headliners

      By charlierc · Posted

      Feel like a lot of people do just sit around by the stage at a festival waiting for one act anyway, no? I know Swift has a big mega-fandom - she wouldn't have done so many Wembley shows last year if she didn't - but it's not like she'd be unique in playing a festival and drawing a crowd on that specific day just for her.   But then tbf I feel like there'd be a few happy just to mosy around the rest of the site until maybe 2/3 acts beforehand.
