Bugger.

But best wishes to him, obviously. Is it MH issues...?

:(

I've definitely read he's had problems with some kind of chronic illness before, it's stopped him touring on the past. Not sure if it's related

yep @kd96 - Thursday as part of a Shanti Celeste / Moxie / Saoirse / Peach b2b2b2b I think. Then early evening on Sunday, 6 to 10pm range.

I could have misheard but I'm pretty sure Moxie said on her nts show last week that her on loop showcase is the Friday at Glastonbury. Is thisb2b2b in addition to that? 

She does mention a sass show on 23rd June in a garden in Berlin, which I'm assuming is the garden at berghain, but no mention of the same at Glastonbury

Does anyone else have really low expectations of Arcadia booking wise

No way! Although it has occurred to me that maybe they are blowing all their budget in the infrastructure with very little left for bookings. 

What makes you say that Tommy?

I don't think build budget will influence the line-up. I'm presuming that GFL pay the fees to all artists, so the effect of their traditionally lower fees will have the same effect on Arcadia, rather than a differentially higher one, I'd think.

Coxy will play, which is fine and I'll see him if it fits. I've not seen him before but have watched plenty online and always find him to be perfectly fine, if not someone I'd drop lots of other good DJs to get to. TBH, the line-up profile for Arcadia has tended to be themed and quite varied. There 'will' be a DnB-based night. There 'will' be a house/tech-house based night à la Solardo kind of thing. So I'm just holding onto the hope that the global resurgence in good techno, particularly in terms of big genre festivals etc, will convince Glastonbury that the new fiery beast is worthy of at least one night of gods' own dance music...

Whats that bar/stage up the top of The Park field opposite the main stage? Did I see a Ben ufo and friends set in the early on Sunday 2017 complete by myself or have I made that up?

That's the Stonebridge Bar, and yes, Hessle have done stuff in there.

DnB night on Arcadia looks to be the Sunday

Which is fine, as that will draw lots away from the SEC until 0230h so I can get well into IICON etc.

I'm also hoping, as I always do, that The Unfairground throws up a few little gems for me. I don't think I really understand that area properly in terms of its 'character'...but I did have fun with Radioactive Man and his quality electro in Jagz's Acid Lounge in 2017...

Never really thought about it much but I'd presumed (wrongly as per) that places like Arcadia and most of the SEC paid their own artists as they were more 'stand alone' parts of glasto.

Thinking about it that makes no sense now I've written it down and read it back!

Anyway, I'm hoping for at least 1 really good night spent at Arcadia listening to some top tech house. If it is DnB night Sunday then that suits me as I'll be off to the SE corner for the final push.

Who gets booked for an Arcadia Techno night? Probably gonna be your drumcode type stuff which isn’t all that exciting for me personally. I’ve higher hopes of seeing a good techno set at Bloc9. 

You can’t really put anyone on there who isn’t a massive name can you.

Daniel Avery probably be on Arcadia?

Thanks. Why can’t I find any record of it though?! Seems weird that no one else was there. 

Stonebridge always has a good line up, Bicep and Friends last time our was good fun, goes till 5am and a good alternative to SEC in my opinion, had some very fun nights in there over the years.

Arcadia doesn’t really do strictly themed nights (d and b, techno, etc). They normally just mix it up a bit each night

Well yes and no! I still think that that Friday is pretty consistent genre wise, and you could argue that the Saturday, (JH aside) has a breaks/DnB theme. I suppose what I’m saying is that, since 2015, there’s not been a solid techno line up!!!

Soooo, how many more dance music spots get their own announcements? I’m slowly getting my must see’s together, happy to see some acts play couple of times during the fest too, as clashes will be unavoidable for me I reckon.

The dream for me is a Cirez D set somewhere.

Ok, can you stop it now please, Fuzz?

I've already been told that Blawan** isn't coming. I don't need my hopes raised for Cirez D, only for them to be dashed!

 

**on a purely selfish note, and not in anyway failing to sympathise with his problems, I only just remembered that I've booked a ticket for one of the Dimensions tunnel parties with Blawan headlining, so I really hope he's well again by then.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
