Altern8 have self confirmed for this year

 

 

so excited , saw him / them (not sure if it is just Mark Archer now) at boomtown and they were awesome 

Yes, great news - although I kind of hope Mark at least plays one set on his own. When they’re together now it’s often ‘Acid Techno’, which seems to be the accepted term for hardcore-like frenzied stuff at one hundred and stupid bpm!

Saw Mark play a proper acid house set last year as part of the Second Summer of Love 30th anniversary celebrations and he was excellent.

Probably unusual opinion, but I’d love to see Booka Shade somewhere at Glastonbury. I fell in love with them all over again when I’ve seen their live set couple of weeks back. I know they’ve been playing nearly every possible festival in the universe, but they’re one of the best live acts I’ve seen.

Not that unusual... I like Booka Shade. Theyd go down well in the glade

I posted somewhere (can't find it now) a while back that Kevin Saunderson &/or Inner City had a UK festival date on Glasto Friday, which has got to be at Glasto.

The date of that show has now been changed to Sunday.

Kevin Saunderson owes us a Farm set after he had to cancel (for perfectly reasonable reasons!) a couple of years ago. Hope he does a solo set too...

Oooh, great shout on that sound system

Wow! I thought everyone was sick of seeing them everywhere! Nice one! I much prefer their older productions, but the live show is a great dosage of old and new and sounds incredible!

Wasn't expecting much on the first poster, but at least we've confirmed Jonny H! 

Most anticipated artist on this thread so well done I’d say. Can’t wait to see him for the first time!

Off to Printworks tonight for the AVA night, think I might go off home though after Joy O, not too arsed with Hunee, and would have to sit through him to watch Mall Grab.

Looking at that line-up, @Matt - Ed Banger Records, I think I’d be offski after Joy O too. It’ll be early enough to go somewhere else if you cba!

Have a smashing night.

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival
