Lovely heads-up, matey - thanks!

She really is a bit of a goddess. Thoughtful, intelligent selections and a good narrative through her sets. How dance music (of any genre) is meant to be.

Surely there's no way Monsieur Encore is big enough for that?

ran out of upvotes.

But yeah, WH seems like the logical place for him at the moment.  Think the Other Stage headliners have to be quite weak and the buzz around Frederique Repite reaches proper fever pitch for it to be a real possibility.

I'm doing J2 on the Friday, anyone been before? looking at pictures from previous years looks like it is under a motorway overpass

Yeah it's at Boston Manor Park.

Not sure how many stages they'll have this year, lineup looks a bit thinner than when i went, but perhaps there's still more to come.

Main Stage is in a big open field with like a semi circle with elevated platforms surrounding it. Only weird part is the huge GSK building watching over you. 

The bridge the stage you're talking about, underneath the M4. The stage most people associate with the festival. Usually has a one way entry/exit system. 

The stretch was a just big tent on the other side of the festival. Remember finishing there with Hunee.

Warehouse was like a pop-up warehouse, think it felt quite hot in there.

The woods is a lovely stage, in a forest, not space for a too many people, compared to the others, but a really decent vibe & feel to it.

Security was a bit hands on, with what a friend of a friend told me, but I had no issues.

I had a great time, because it was absolutely pouring it down that morning, so like 1/3rd of people kind of didn't show up, but halfway the day through it started clearing up & turned into a pretty lovely day, with less people. Not sure how I'd feel at full capacity.

Really missed out on my techno fix last year (and 2019 for that matter). Hoping to catch some 140-150 faster stuff this year.

Any thoughts on likely bookings? I'd imagine Charlie Sparks, Trym etc are likely?

Some sets I've been smashing through: 

DLV Boiler Room Warsaw

Klangkuenstler at Teletech

    • I too am always a bit blurred on what/who constitutes a legend slot but would Sting fit that bill?  Those there said his IoW slot was v good and he has enough of a songbook imo for a Sun afternoon if he uses the Police's 1st 2 albums for a fair chunk of it      
    • Thing is, I'd have said that as well.   But then she inexplicably ended up on the Wilderness lineup and that changes everything. I reckon if that goes well, which it will, then she's very much in the picture.
    • This has probably been discussed a hundred times already on efests but what constitutes a legend? I know some of it is my age but I don't see eurithmics or Duran Duran as legend status. Neil young or nils lofgren then yes and neither of them have overly troubled the charts. Duran Duran and indeed the eurithmics I would put in the 80s category and whilst it would be ok (human league at isle of wight we're fabulous) they just arent in my mind legend status.  Zombies played same festival- i would take that. 
    • friendly tonight delayed , pitch draining pretty quick to be fair .... not sure it bodes well for other games with potential fixture backlog
