Is that what the Glade line-up was meant to be?

Autechre is a huge get if so! Hope they're back in it for 2021.

Given how that Glade poster says they were booked for a DJ set there this year, anyone else assuming they were also booked for a live show elsewhere on site... Autechre on IICON sounds the perfect fit...

Well that sound end up breaking some ribs. Jesus that’s a big act for such a small arena.

Wasn't their talk of Orbital being booked there as well? If so that's two acts I really thought would command larger spots. 

I'd most likely have been there for both, mind.

Not just her, SASS so peach, shanti, moxie and saoirse. Which wouldve been incredible.

anyone else locked to the block 9 live stream?

Holy shit, the vibes on this would have been huge! Praying they're rolling that over to next year.

Been rinsing Moxie's Pickle Factory set over the past few months, it's just got the most perfect flow.

Ffs Glastonbury, stop trying to make WOW! happen. It's not gonna happen. If that was Omar S' only appearance - gutted. But if he turned up in Block9/the BH replacement - oo er. & SASS was rammed last time round, thank god they were planning on putting them on a non-queuing stage!

Omar S 😫

Just popped on to see if any familiar faces were knocking around. Had the worst time getting tickets the last couple of years - hope to be back here soon!

Ey up, good to see you! Happy to help when the sales roll round 😊

Helloooo, basically been keeping one eye on this thread, and the insanely good maribou state set from last year whilst having a few beers has brought me back to it. I'm one of those guys who loves rock etc but then gets into DnB cause my friends like it and now want to get into house/techno stuff. Have only managed to scrape in a Jasper James set this year but am a fan of Maribou State, Bicep, Dusky etc as well as older stuff like Chemical Brothers and Groove Armada but I'm only 21 so missed the hayday (but did see Faithless headline Boardmasters when I was 16 and god that was unreal).  I think I'm into more stuff going on than minimal but any reccomendations on who to explore would be greatly recieved, big ups.

Welcome to the best thread on the 'board, @tpark

It might help if you clarify a little what you're after...

Are you looking for recs of mixes? DJs? Tracks?

Are you looking for a route in to get into house and or techno (there's a massive spectrum of music from one side of house to the other side of techno...!)?

Let us know a little more clearly and I am sure that many of the faithful in here will be more than happy to help you out.

Also - do you have a ticket for 2021? If you do, then this place is the best place on the internet in the 2-3 weeks before the festival once the full line-up has dropped. By then there will be masses of info flying around of what people are looking to go and see, including plans for mini-meet ups at some sets etc.

Let us know, and welcome, once again!

That mix from The Bells into Sandstorm is filth. Route one stuff on paper but takes brass balls to pull it off.

Gonna give this a listen tomorrow for sure. Always imagine DJing in the Spider must be the most bizarre (and incredible) experience, especially with the 360 degree crowd.

Hey @tpark! If you want a broad intro to house/techno you could try listening to some shows on NTS (Moxie's is always great) and Noods radio. They get all sorts of djs and artists to play shows and often they'll have tracklists so if you hear something you like you can find the name of the track and go from there. They tag each show by genre so just pick out ones tagged house/techno/breaks/electro etc. depending on what vibe you're after.

Off the top of my head, if you like Maribou State and Bicep, maybe give Daphni (or Caribou) and Four Tet a go? Maybe check out the stuff Four Tet released as KH too.

Hey, probably tracks/albums is what I'm after, probably into the more funky side than minimal, so probably house rather than techno, I did try for 2021 tickets but was not successful, I did get a volunteering space with oxfam (as I did last year) but they aren't carried over to next year so am stuck hoping

Excellent thank you, will definitely look into that tonight

A real shame the ocean volunteering isn’t carried over,  not even a priority list for those who got in this year? 
if you’re looking for stuff more in the funky side I highly recommend anything by Franc Moody, Sunday Shoutin’ by Johnny Corporate is a great house track as well 

Ross From Friends ‘You’ll understand’ EP might also be your persuasion 

Pional as well if you like the bicep/Maribou state stuff

Hope some of these help!

It will surprise you not one tiny bit to hear that I could go all night to that, Fuzz...

Pushes. All. My. Buttons.

Ha ha. Not shocked at all! Glad you approve.

My mate is running a live podcast in a fortnight... I am playing this kind if thing.

Listened to Moxie's weekly NTS show yesterday (always great), and got very very excited about the potential SASS b2b extravaganza next year. Was the rumour they were closing Genosys? 

On an unrelated note, I was just chatting to a workpal about Faithless earlier and then remembered this set. Was anyone else there? I felt like it was the moment I "got" electronic music. Huge.

    • Yeah definitely this. Memorable past experiences include seeing Yo La Tengo at Cupra at night in 2022, or Beach House at the now defunct stage I forget the name of, or TV on the Radio at Cupra last year. A 2:30am Slowdive or Water From Your Eyes set would’ve been just the ticket 
    • I want to chime in here and say that I think Simple Minds must be one of the more underrated bands of the 80s honestly. Empires & Dance and New Gold Dream are phenomenal albums. And two of my favourites of that decade in any genre.
    • Same, same. I am doing this for few years. Always works. There are some exceptions when the area completelly packed (i.e The XX this year), but even in this case it is much easier to walk from the right side. 
    • You don't have to pay for an additional ticket but the front barrier at least is all controlled by security and a lot of people stay in there for the bigger acts so if you don't get there early enough you risk not being in there.   There is an option you can pay to have fast lane access priority which they suggest you arrive 30 minutes before a headline show but the first two sections are still even for them based on capacity. I did read that it's going very corporate and becoming too money money which I agree to an extent. There are points on the two biggest stages where not only accessing these bits is priority but dedicated quicker and direct access points for them too....but at €225 for the weekend I'm not sure I want to be pulled into that. I went with Three Days Grace, Linkin Park and Maiden being my must sees so I did what I had to for the latter 2 to get in to where I needed to. You do that too much though and it'll cost you your overall enjoyment of other bands there.   As an overall experience, it's definitely overrated to what I thought it would be. I will vouch for the food being decent.    The reason I haven't just gone in a bought too is because of the extra shipping fee and then selling it on if I didnt go. By QR code its easy to transfer like, but its a lot of money to commit that it might need selling later and to sell a ticket, £300 in fact. Hopefully they won't be the only festival to get Foos while not confirmed yet and Blink. But the Blink pulling power alone is there to be seen.
