Arcadia needs a revamp for sure. Total overhaul in fact.

Love the area as alternative to the SEC, but it needs some investment for sure.

Can anybody tell me how fast the Houghton main sale will usually sells out? 

[gordong]

Thoughts?

I’m never been a huge fan of Aphex Twin but understand it’s a decent booking.

Bonobo is one of my all timers, but I don’t think his show works outside. I went to see him at Royal Albert Hall last year which ended up being one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to, then caught a bit of him at Glastonbury and didn’t think it could be compared at all.

Field Day used to be my favourite festival, but they lost my interest a while back and this doesn't do anything to change it sadly. Aphex booking is cool but doesn't have the WOW factor it did last time.

Doesn't say Aphex [UK Exclusive] which is hopeful for a Glasto dream.

TSHA Live sounds interesting, sounds like something that could be hitting the festivals this year, maybe even the farm.

Only recently learned about Hagop Tchaparian through a remix Four Tet did of his

Decent line up but don't think I would have gone anyways, even though never seen AT yet

This remix is incredible - otherworldly, saw people saying about Hagop a while back - he used to be a touring like sound guy if i recall. think he's signed to four tet's label as well, they are closely linked

Orb Live is a bit random thrown in there

Last year (first year post covid etc) it was akin to glasto sale. Within minutes and you got "randomly" assigned a place in queue. But I'm fairly sure when you first open the ticket page is a big factor.

 

Would plan to be there as soon as the link opens, but imagine demand is less due to it not being postponed for years, and whilst it's an Incredible fest, the thick black dust across the site last year might put people off going again this year (but definitely worth a visit, I loved it)

Maiden Voyage and Gala tix bought. £20 a pop - bargains given the line ups. Another big summer incoming!

[Acid Loafers]

Dekmantel & Line-ups that cause a migraine trying to read. Some things never change.

31st Jan. Although I managed to bag some pre-sale one's a month or so ago.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

I'll be heading over to this after Junction 2. Set to be a good weekend!

Love Saves the day lineup might be quite relevant as they now run Silver Hayes?

Most of the top names on this play most years anyway / just played for Years & Years or say Sub Focus B2B Dimension or Hybrid Minds.

Can very much see Overmono becoming a regular and Folamour owes shangri la a set

Yeah, it’s kind of a lineup with lots of big names on it but yet no surprises.

Will be there as I go every year but it's quite strange, there's loads of depth in the undercard but some strange placings. Would have said Four Tet is a headliner outright!

One or two acts aside, it's a very Silver Hayes-esque lineup
