From Carl Cox on Facebook:

"I am playing 2 other parties that weekend at Glastonbury that are techno gigs. All is not lost. ?"

He played at arcadia in 2016. He was nails too. The best Carl Cox set I've seen in years.

Watched him the night after at Bez's flying bus and he wasn't great.

If the sound is as good for JH as it was for James Blake in 2015, that's going to be absolutely incredible...

And his live AV projections on a stage that big will be spectacular.

@zero000 - see you there...!

It's going to be intense. His set on the glade in 2014, has to be up there as one of my all time Glastonbury highlights.

And we’re perfectly positioned to beat the Pyramid/Other crowds...ace.

This could end up being the deciding factor between Jon and Tame for me. Reckon a few of our crew will be up for Jon as well and I think it's only me to have seen him recently.

I'm still working my way through the Glade acts. There's a few I've had no luck with - anyone know Martin Hogar?

Think it should be Martin Horger. Think German Stanton Warriors.

I kinda miss a lot of the rumours chat over the winter, mostly because I was avoiding it, but is James Blake ruled out? I guess it's unlikely as the possible slots are looking filled and he'd have been on the original poster

Just watched Giant Swan (supporting The Horrors at Royal Albert Hall). Fuck me that's some intense noise. Well worth checking out on the Glade this year. Can't even think where to pigeon-hole them but they went HARD at times. Maybe one for @bennyhana22... 

Was this for Primary Colours in full? Good gig like? Would love to see it.

I'm not only into industrial! (in fact, my 'best' techno would be euphoric and quite chordant/choral!)

But yes, they are great. They play everything live and, if they are to be believed, arrive at a gig without a 'setlist' as such. They just set off and riff off one another and see where the tracks take them. Despite their predilection for 'noise', they do end up with some good structure, and most of the tracks have a banging beat and are very danceable. With the clarity of the system on Glade cleaning up their sound, they should be awesome. I can't wait to see some people's faces as their performances are...erm...robust!

That Jayda G mix is absolutely brilliant, thanks @James_Glasto_LDn , it might even drag me in to Silver Hayes. On a separate note, I just can't handle the crowd behind the DJs on Boiler Room videos. The cringe is too much.

Glad you like her, she was incredible at Phonox last year and i'll certainly be there in Silver Hayes , she has such good energy. Totally agree with your views on the boiler room crowds.. it's a weird concept, never understood the appeal of just hovering behind the DJ and not really being able to let loose and enjoy with friends.

    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?    
    • Yeah mentioned in the park thread but feel more Woodsies to me 
    • New Modest Mouse Album is out
