Yeah, this... it's going to have to be one end or the other. The Stonebridge run is really strong on Sunday, but whether the Stonebridge crowd / ground is up to scratch by then, will have to see.

Stonebridge is really strong every day this year.

 

I could happily stay there all day on Saturday. I wandered into hip hop karaoke in-between acts in the park a couple of years ago and it was brilliant!

This might sound daft but I don’t wanna end my Glastonbury at Stonebridge as much as I like it it’s just a tent in the Park. I know for a fact most of my crew will see Pearson Sound and Call Super then just go back the tent saying they’re knackered. If I’ve got them at Bloc9 they’ll stay till the death. 

Not daft at all. Rain or shine, I'm finishing my festival dancing in the great outdoors with whatever kindred spirits want to squeeze the last drop out of it. After two long years, it's the least the Farm can expect from me...

Exactly. I want to finish it dancing in daylight or at least sun coming up. Then the long walk back to the tent taking it all in saying your goodbyes to places. It’s never sad it’s always nice. You’ve had your fun. Can take you 3 hours to get back your tent dicking about.

My crew are the same, I'm usually the last one each night so I know for a fact I'd have no hope of dragging them from the park to the SEC but I think they're all going for Daniel Avery and haai in the beat hotel so Sunday will be solo anyway. Whatever I decide early in the night though I intend to finish up in the gas tower.

Totally this. If I’ve done it properly, then as magnificent as it’s been, by 5am on a Monday, I’m done!

Maceo's – not sure it's announced yet, think it's tomorrow. Am following Benji B so expecting a crowd to disperse fast as I fail to bring Virgil Abloh along for moral support.

From what I can see, Denis Sulta is playing a 7am disco and funk set on Friday morning, which should be beyond messy.

Disco, funk and trance classics?

It'll be very busy but my gut says a good portion of the crowd may struggle with it as the closer – amazing tough-as-nails music, but not a lot of levity. Bit of a tricky slot for them.

yeah well this is my issue, i dont have a closer! im more of a happy electronic music listener. bit slower and not as hard as most the stuff thats big now. but no idea who those ppl may be hah. DJ Koze / nicolas jarr / j hopkins are more my bag

Amazing! Always wanted to see inside Maceos at glasto, they done the crew bar at bestival one year and it was amazing. Kerry Chandler played in a shipping container it was brilliant.

Surprised there's not been more uptake on the Rhythm Section takeover of Stonebridge on the Friday... hopefully means itll be less busy for my mates and I.

The night time is ridiculous this year. Spoilt for choice doesn't even cover it. Stuck between trying to properly plan it or to identify 4 or 5 'must sees' and take it as it goes!

Yes, I have performed at Hip Hop Karaoke ? I’m considering a return this year

I've considered it the last few years but always chickened out. I can spit A Milli from start to finish from memory but it's not really a "party" rap song, and a lot of the choices are ones that get the crowd going. I think most people doing it are well prepared, although I've seen some shambolic performances ?

with maceos what are they actually checking to let people in? do block 9 staff have their own separate wristband or is it the standard glasto staff wristband?

 

i’m trading this year so won’t have the standard punter wristband it’s the staff one so hoping this and a combination of some blagging might wangle me in...

Resident freak over here yeah I’m very tall. Great for all my mates when I say we’re at this stage than can find me pretty quickly. 

I am properly struggling at work now. Finish on Friday considering not bothering at all. 

I am as small as you are tall (5ft 5). If you feel yourself trod on a small, Scottish guy with long hair then we have crossed paths

    • On the whole then,yay or nay...I've had a look on festivals united and there's people who seem converted by Rock Im Park, I can imagine it might be different if it was a washout as RaR is tarmac.   The hotel side would be more to convince the non campers if it's an option. On my first visit to rock am ring we were shuttled into the area where you could stick the car next to the tent which was fantastic as it meant zero lugging of camping gear.
    • An interesting thing this. Having seem them several times (some of their gigs veer into back catalogue niche territoty), I partly agree they arent Pyramid material (theough modern defeinition of 'bangers' although I could see them headlinging the Other stage) I can't think of another festival in the world that they couldn't headline - Reading, IoW, BST, Rock Wercheter, Roskilde, etc etc.
    • Ohhh it’s very, very good. 
    • I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.
    • Would love to see them headline as well, but agree with Mr Bailey ☹️
