Massive news, that set a few years back in the morning was brilliant, just remember so many hungover faces being slowly bought back to life, and his wife boogieing with down the front loving it

Heard Digital Arpeggios for the first time at that set

Deadline for readying all the assets hitting now. They can't push it beyond the weekend – next 48hrs it's due.

Suffice to say, no-one is walking away from this thread unhappy. Some absolute pearlers and one hell of a redesign.

@Ddiamondd, I think I speak for us all when I say you have become a valuable and welcome asset in this fine thread. This is the kind of post I can get behind 

 

Edit: and if they pull Prydz/Cirez out of the bag I might just kiss you.

Calling @bennyhana22 (And whoever else is interested) just found out my brothers mate, Paul Maddox is playing on Glade (Spektre is his act name, two lads). Very tough techno. He's a seriously good producer of hard house but recently turned to techno. Used to go clubbing with him when my brother DJ'd. Just thought you might be interested! I'll be there 100% if you fancy a good old smosh about the dance floor :D

Used to love Maddox when he was at Tidy, always seemed a nice lad too.

He's a great lad yeh. Played in Switzerland last week and my brother met him, said it was unreal. Shame there isn't a few classic Tidy DJs at Glasto!

@Stokesy10

Nailed on my must-see list already, fella. 

Please confirm that they’re playing live...

Hadn’t heard of them prior to the Glade drop and have loved everything I’ve watched so far online. Blistering stuff. Yes, they’re ‘tough’, but not just thump-thump-thump...they’re really intelligent in their track progressions...can’t wait for them...

As far as I'm aware it's not "live", just their own stuff. It'll be rather good stuff at that! Tough and groovy. My brother did a track with him producing years back, he's a master at getting it bang on very quickly in the studio.

Embarrassing true story, actually had the old tidytrax bin man logo tattooed on my arm when I was 18. Had it covered as everyone thought it was actually the keep Britain tidy sign and it wasn’t a great tat anyway. Plus grew out of that scene after a few years. Is there any hardhouse at glasto these days? Seen something the other day mentioning it.

I wouldn’t really consider her a Bloc9 booking or say Amie Lens, Adam Bayer and all that lot. I may be wrong like. I certainly hope they don’t spunk their budget on that myself. 

Arcadia definitely the best bet for someone like that

Spektre are on my list of must-sees. Absolutely banging.

Really?

I would say that if IICON is being created as a many-1000s venue and techno is on the brief, then Charlotte de Witte would be very much the sort of artist they would look at - not for the 'name', you understand, rather for the sort of reaction she'd get.

That said, I too hope that the line-up is quality across the board, rather than top-loading the budget with any 'big stars' who would need a big fee...

Ben

Edit - and, as @FuzzyDunlop will attest, if Charlotte is even in the crosshairs, please can we have Enrico Sangiuliano as well/instead? They both played Boomtown last year, and whilst Charlotte was good, Enrico blew her out of the water...

Don't suppose you know what day and time they're playing by any chance?

How big is this venue meant to be? I did read it was meant to hold around 1000 I think but I just assumed that was wrong. Where is it going to go for a start? I always had Bloc9 down as the most underground place at Glastonbury with like special bookings for the Downlow like MAW, Rodger Sanchez and stuff. Feels to me anyway she’d be better suited to Arcadia. Maybe I’ve totally underestimated the size of this new venue and their vision for it.

    • 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.
