That would have been a *stellar* weekend for me! Sonja b2b Nicolas Lutz in the Woods for a bit of vibey minimal....yes, please!

Ben

I caught Lutz and Richards b2b at Prima last year. The term "journey" is often maligned, but that's what it was. 11pm, two hours of hypnotic minimal techno right on the beach with a warm Balearic sea breeze. Not my usual scene and I only wandered over to kill some time but couldn't pull myself away.

Stayed there until sunrise. Special Request followed by a Tim Reaper b2b Sherelle came straight after. Can't remember the last time I stayed on one stage for six hours. Good times.

Ahhh, roll on Summer...

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 would be all over Charlie Sparks! Wouldn't mind 6ejou, VTSS and 999999999 as well.

Let's keep it down lads, @bennyhana22 has banned talk of anything over 135bpm...

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Highly doubtful and not necessarily in keeping with the tone on that particular stage, but Tale of Us on IICON would be interesting. Couple of harder ones amongst this lot for the 140+ BPMers too

That's a belter lineup... Wow!! Funnily enough, the other day I was thinking about Tale of Us being at Glasto somewhere, would be another thing I would love to see happen.

It's a fun festival too, I went in 2017. That main stage is epic, Papa Sven with a set for the ages. Incredible.

It has happened before, they played on the Blues stage in silver hayes in 2014 as part of the circoloco takeover

I'd like to see a few more label takeovers and curated stages

Aphex Twin rumoured for Field Day…….would love to see him on the farm

We're the broadest of broad churches here, team. If we didn't have 150bpm fans, I'd have nothing to whine about, and then where would we be???

I've only ever seen videos from Futur that look EPIC! There's a Ben Klock set online somewhere that looked like one for the ages

Someone on another thread just made the genius suggestion of a West Holts headlining slot. Can you imagine RDJ with that sound on that stage? Throw in a couple wonky visuals. The opening bars of Polynomial-C just as the last of the Sunday sun disappears behind the vale of Avalon...

AHHH it's that one!! I've watched quite a few clips of sets from there, looks class!

That's good to know! Would love to see it happen again, Circo Loco takeover sounds cool too. 

[IceCreamVan]

Just got an email with a "come to nanny" visual on from field day. Aphex surely. Not sure what the pun signifies though

[Memory Man]

99% that field day announces him as a UK festival exclusive

doubt he’s in the running headlining a stage at glasto, as perfect as west holts would be, due to it being recorded / broadcast and the money aspect

if it was going to happen, it would have happened by now. Field day will be opening a very large briefcase of cash.

i def wouldnt rule out an unannounced dj set again tho

[Trunks1993]

as much as I want to see him, Field Day (post-pandemic) is an average festival with a sub-standard sound system. West Holts would be insane and would be the only clash I’d consider over Elton

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

Many times, it's great - usually have about five stages, four of which are not under the M4

Tale of Us are quite a lot bigger than anyone else IICON ever gets - they did 3 nights at printworks last year i think. Would be very cool though

Yeah, you're right. I must stop pitching unrealistic names!* But IICON is such a cool area. I appreciate their ethos though, keeping it more of a showcase for avant garde and underground artists.

Printworks is the perfect venue for ToU, especially with those huge vertical screens behind the stage. 

 

 

 

* ok, one last one. As he's around, Aphex Twin. Just imagine that twisted soundscape in that field. Total mindbender.

[bennyhana22]

I'd be well up for a bit of ToU on IICON. Bit 'poppier' than my usual, but oh what a great crowd there would be for that...not sure I see the Block9 gang keen though...they're Arcadia or nothing, I guess.

On which note, Arcadia - what are we thinking? Surely the Spider has had its last dance on the Farm? I know there's a lot of ill-feeling about their commercial decisions and affiliations, but assuming they're there, what animatronic behemoth is coming? If the Spider were to come back, at least bring Mum. That tiddly one was...tiddly!

did you see they purchased a sea king helicopter ?. not sure if that will be ready this year or not ? or if we get one more year of the spider .. or if they've burnt bridges with the trip to the world cup

Yeah, Arcadia is a strange one. They probably think there'll be enough water under the bridge come June and Qatar 2022 will be a distant memory for most. GFL didn't exactly unequivocally distance themselves from Arcadia's involvement over there, did they? 

Beyond that though, the spider has clearly had its day. At Glastonbury, at least. Last year was very much a damp squib. The smaller version has much less impact and the sound levels were poor. Lots of people enjoy Lords of Lightning too, so they were a miss. 

I hope they come up with something new and innovative, worthy of Arcadia innovations of the past. I'm not holding out a great deal of hope though, buying defunct cranes and helicopters doesn't inspire too much, but we'll see. If not, I'd love to see a form of "indoor" structure, allowing the likes of Prydz to more effectively showcase something like Holo or EPiC. Lots of festivals around the world have them. Yuma at Coachella, Steelyard at Creamfields, Freedom Stage at Tomorrowland, etc. Whether Glastonbury has the space, I'm not sure?

I think an indoor hanger stage would be great but its just a different thing to Arcadia. would be great to sort out Silver Hayes with one

Yeah, fair one. I think Silver Hayes probably had too many stages last year. Ditch the lot for a hangar.
