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

I've seen lots of techno DJs at Glastonbury (Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Marcel Dettmann, Jerome Hill, Kevin Saunderson, Dave Clarke, DJ Pierre and more).

I worded my message poorly and it was meant in response to the possibility of 'world music' at the revamped Beat Hotel. I was wondering whether they might take that space in a different direction and book a load of techno peeps in there, but I'm probably way off the mark there.

As has rightly been pointed out, the techno will probably reside in the SE Corner.

I hoped to see a couple of names in Silver Hayes though, given I saw Richie Hawtin there a few years back. 

Do love a bit of Hawtin. Saw him at Club Paradiso on Mykonos (clang) a few years ago. Stellar.

His Plastikman set at Glastonbury (98?) is up there as one of the best sets I have ever seen

Gotta say I’d be into a head the ball mini UFO stage like at Dekmantel playing nosebleed techno all weekend. Probably only go about 4 hours over the entire weekend but it’d be nice to have a total change of pace mid day if the mood took me.

It's like entering another realm of evolution going into that darkness whilst it's broad daylight outside. Lights flying everywhere

 

What a place

Suppose I’m a little surprised to not see Bradley Zero - think he’ll be elsewhere @bennyhana22?

Maybe playing whatever replaces the BH?

He nabbed my set of the year award last year,  SO FUCKING GOOD. Although I suppose there weren't hundreds of candidates considering clubs were closed until July 😅

As said, out of upvotes, but YES! The live on IICON dream is still on.

I thought dance acts mostly just did 1 live set, then loads of dj sets extra if they decide to?

We can maybe expect Prospa Live on IICON then ??

 

edit: obviously massively wishful thinking but I kinda expected them to be on Silver Hayes and don’t know where else they’d be this year, would be a shame if they aren’t there at all

That would be a big stylistic departure from IICON - I’d have thought if they’re going that way a DJ set from Overmono would be more likely.

I’d be really surprised if Prospa aren’t there though - maybe on a non-dance stage? Where ever Fred Again hopefully is playing?

Their live set is one I'm really interested in, mainly cause of the guitar. I know they both spent years in bands as teenagers so it's quite intriguing to see how much they bring that side in (maybe just for the little 80s style solo in one of their tunes)

    • Yesterday was another brilliant day of music for me. Some highlights:  My Bloody Valentine - absolutely loved it! Maybe my main festival highlight. I felt submerged in the music with all the layers and distortion. It becomes hypnotic almost as it progresses. Not as loud as some thought it might be, but it didn’t need to be. The visuals added a lot too. During the noise part of You Made me Realise, I was basically in a trance staring at the visual tunnel or whatever it was on screen. Amazing experience. Little Simz - as she mentioned at the start, you’re guaranteed a good time with her. Great performance just like in 2022. Zero complaints. The little DJ section wasn't something I expected but was cool. Kneecap - I had a blast but at this point in the night I was at my most intoxicated let's say, so I don’t remember it as clearly as I'd have liked to!    The xx - The sound for this was perfectly balanced (at least where I was) and the band were great. Lots of talkers, but with the crowd size and being kind of far back, it's to be expected. Intro was one of my favourite moments this year. Big Thief - really good live performers. The lead singer has a lovely voice. This was a nice chill way to kick off the mordor gigs for me.  
    • I've been attending Primavera every year since my first one in 2017 & it's always been my favourite week of the year, but I think things have changed.   Firstly, the site just feels too busy in this current set-up. I'm sure it was a lot easier back in 2017-19 to get between the stages & then a good spot for the next one, but now you increasingly have to sacrifice parts of a set or miss them out completely to plan for later on. I wish we still had the Bits area over the bridge to spread everyone out.   But the main issue is the talking, it's always been here but this year it's been relentless & I just can't tolerate it any more. It's at every stage, and everywhere from the front to the back, there is no escape. Not focusing on nationalities, but a major dynamic now seems to be groups of people who are only focusing on their own good time & aren't interested if this affects anyone else. It seems essential that all members of the group are together at the same time, so it's people making telephone calls, people on shoulders waving phone torches, people barging through. It's alright, I'm only trying to watch The Cure here.   I will have a year away to think about it. I thought might give up completely but yesterday was a bit of a classic day after two unenjoyable ones. Adding Olivia Rodrigo to Baxter Dury, Gelli Haha, The XX, Gorillaz & Kneecap shows how good it can be, but as with everything, it's always the people that have the biggest impact.
