Light on techno in the Silver Hayes announcement. Perhaps the Beat Hotel replacement will cater to that? 

Somethings don't change! Always light on techno. The Glastonbury - Detroit/Berlin/Birmingham connection is not strong! 

I always live in hope though and Block 9 etc will offer something!

Silver Hayes is always light on techno! And the Beat Hotel possibly as much, if not more so. I never see them as catering for that scene, other than a few sets per festival. And that's a good thing. As @Supernintendo Chalmers says, IICON and Genosys are your major techno hitters, along with Arcadia usually for one night, and a smattering elsewhere - Spaceport and Glade can throw up some crackers. Dubfire's Hybrid Live show a few years ago in Glade was ace.

So, for me, it's good that SH has it's own vibe. The fact that it has so much daytime partying would jar if followed by lots of full-on techno.

Team Love are doing Silver Hayes this year aren’t they? This is very similar to what they book for Love Saves/Love International etc, think Beat Hotel was always a separate team 

Yeah it's Team Love, just got an email from them about the SH line up

I mean there’s plenty of techno DJs there tbh (HAAi, Peach, Shanti, Moxie, India Jordan, TSHA, Saoirse, Eclair Fifi, Elkka, Overmono, Job Jobse to an extent, and I’m sure plenty more I don’t recognise) there but none of your Rubinstein’s, Lens’s, Fjaaks, Kraviz’s that I was expecting. Looking at SE Corner and the glade for that maybe.

Awww, come on Adam - we've not been short of techno of late. 2019 amongst others gave us:

Randomer
Partok
Josh Wink
HAAi
Anthony Parasole
Karenn
Freakenstien
Zenkers
Stenny
Charlotte de W
Daniel Avery

And that's just a selection! I worry every year that there will be enough techno/electro/psytrance for me, and then when it all drops I have hard clash decisions to make!

I'd have been very surprised for someone like Nina K to be announced for SH. Unless there was a big sea change, that's just not the vibe in there. Yes, HAAi is playing, but I bet you her set there contains little/no techno. And this from the DJ who gave us, IMO, the set of the festival last time, and one of my favourite sets ever.

Yeah I never had Silver Hayes down as a techno area, the best/worst way I tried to describe to the newcomers in our group is that it’s  ‘entry level electronic music’ in that, if you’ve never been involved in the dance scene or it’s never been your thing- you could wander through and find some *great* DnB, House (and the slightly heavier side in the likes of Haai and others) and everything in between but it’s not too niche or brutal , and it seems like the new organisers have continued that trend

Well you’re probs right given she’s playing multiple sets over the weekend - more party vibes from her in SH.

 

And yeah sorry I didn’t expect the likes of Nina to be in SH, just generally there’ll be a few acts of her ilk at the festival I think.

I also don’t really want to get into a debate about what’s real techno, but all those acts I listed regularly play, or are inherently, techno acts.

Sofia Kourtesis might be a top 10 set of the weekend. 

Also, Fred Again.. is on the Electric Forest lineup in the states the weekend of Glasto (fest is 23rd-26th, no idea what day he's playing.) Doesn't exclude him but a tight window.

So excited, was absolutely rinsing her stuff when I was in Lima last month - the amount of Peruvians I met in clubs there who adored her was mad!

Assuming it also means Romy is not just dj'ing as would her dj'ing being headline level??

If she was DJing i'd assume they would put DJ next to it. DJing would be smaller i think size wise.

Yes just seen speculation in other threads that she would be DJing because she did at All Points East. She was one of the few acts that I knew 😄

I was there with you and agree it my favourite of that year, probably top 5 of all my glastos.

Neither should we get into that! Techno is a broad church, and all the better for it*

Indeed you were and it was a pleasure sharing the floor with you. I'm really hoping we can manage some get togethers from those on the thread.

    • It can take around 30-45 mins to walk from the arena back to the transport hub with the crowds, depending on density. Allow even longer in poor conditions. I don't think you'd need to leave Linkin Park early though, you have at least an hour and 20 minutes to walk to transportation. I certainly wouldn't leave early in your shoes, knowing I can just walk to the airport if needs be (2 mile walk and another 30 - 45 min walk depending on your walking speed and conditions.) Maybe just don't linger too long for the toilet / food after Linkin Park have finished.  It will definitely make sense and all just fall into place on the night, don't worry too much and have a great time. The very worst that can happen is a little extra walking to the Airport Skylink bus stop, as those Skylink busses are 100% 24 hour. 🙂  GFS, ICON and ECMWF are ALL in agreement on the latest runs.... After a mildly moist Weds and Thurs, high Pressure building from Friday... Lets just hope they continue to agree... ☀️☀️☀️
