It's a nicely grimy warehousey feel. Three rooms available, ground floor big room, then one upstairs and a pretty small one downstairs. 

Sound upstairs is my favourite. In fact it's the best room for me. The big room can feel weird if you're at the back as it's a thoroughfare to get to all other parts of the venue so the constant movement of people can be distracting. Also, at the back of that room the sound is a bit shit. Work your way up the left wall facing the booth and cut in from there to be well positioned for the speakers. Downstairs was too packed to move and VTSS was playing 145bpm mindless shite, so I can't comment on what it's really like in there. But I like the venue. Our Lord Jeff Mills is playing there soon. Not going but sorely wish I was. I just can't always go to MCR (from SW of Birmingham) every time I go out! Have a brilliant night. 

And, this thread is on FIRE 🔥, folks. Love it. 

Ben

Thanks Ben - great info as always.

Yeah, the Jeff Mills night is this Friday I think? Hope you manage to get see him on the Farm 🤞 

Been loads of great nights on Manchester recently, but have to stay over if I’m going  out there (live in East Yorks). Hotel rooms are prohibitively expensive at weekends there though, makes it hard to justify for a night out!

I’ll see what the day brings for the macca/bicep clash as our group is bang on 50/50 on the decision, I saw bicep but not as well as I’d have liked (park life, middle of the day) and I’m unfussed on macca, but if bicep are on other then worst case I could sit at the back of pyramid with an escape route after 15 minutes , then I’ve still “seen a beatle”

Someone’s said in another thread Bicep are actually Sunday WH and the website is being updated soon.

Spotted a stupid error. You want to work up the RIGHT hand wall of the big room. Duh. And saw Jeff at WHP in November. My first time seeing him at last, and one of the best sets I've ever seen.

Intriguing. I think King Kenny would have to take it for me in this case, particularly as the Sunday I'm normally running on fumes and not as up as other nights.

Although saying that, the Sunday night always does end up extremely messy in a "fuck it, back to real life tomorrow" kinda way...

Oh we’d get on like house on fire, this is extremely similar to my list

ive seen that DJ Seinfeld is doing his Mirrors Album live at Lost Village, I hope that makes an appearance as that’s class, TSHA also took me by surprise there last year so I imagine she’ll be somewhere on the bill

hoping upon hope that Four Tet brings some friends along (in the shape of Skrillex) 

 

also Partiboi69 . Because of course Partiboi69 . Preferably Gas Tower at 4am 

Ha I’m actually seeing this tomorrow in Sydney, can’t wait.

As if it were ever in doubt that cements bicep as headlining west holts, will be a good night for those who are into it! 

i enjoyed their dj set on genosys some years ago! Ive kind of gone off them since the whole live thing but feel like they’ll be smashing that set for sure.

I'll be there, as I've seen Kenny before, never seen Bicep and love the sound on West Holts. I like the way that Bicep go about their work, even if it's not quite my thing. But their production is excellent and they've enough hooks and joyous melodies to make that a pretty stellar Sunday closer before I toddle off to one last night of mayhem. At least two of my closest camp mates already on board for them, so will be like Justice, if not quite!

Anyone know how busy it was on Thursday 2019 on the WOW stage for this run from Ross from Friends?

like if you weren’t there by Jayda G we’re you stuck outside?

not sure we left the camping area on Thursday that year

Yeah I came in and out, Ross from friends wasn’t really busy at all, people were slowly filtering in, we left shortly after and came back for mella Dee and and prospa, and even that wasn’t rammed, you could always walk in and out of the tent without too much hassle at all, we left after prospa though

Agreed, and that's why I'm leaning in the direction that he'll headline the JP.

He DJs on the farm all the time, so to be on the first announce proper suggests a full-on KH live set. Here's hoping!

His LV set wasn’t live was it, just a DJ set? I think he’s just grown in festival stature since 2019 some how. 
 

but I agree, he’s a JP headliner.
 

Only unmissable act of the weekend for me, live or not. Would only be problematic if it clashes with Kendrick as I may be going on my own.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • 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
