I'm still a member of last years E&D meetup Whatsapp group.

Anyone else? Maybe anyone could post anything secret/juicy on there that would be a great help 🙂

I know I don't have many posts but I'd love an invite to this! Last Glastonbury I didn't meet many new people since we had such a big group, so would love some meetups this year!

Also not many from my (much smaller) group are into electronic music so it's always nice to have people to vibe with!

"There was meant to be a dubstep set but the organisers said that the tent I would be playing would cause a health and safety risk and the whole area would have to be shut down. I’ll have to peg that as half a compliment but I am a little pissed off because I promised them that I’d do it. I’m also closing Shangri La on Sunday morning too, which should be special.

We’ll try and figure something out about the dubstep set but the last place I want to get banned from is Glastonbury. It was one of the only festivals I wasn’t banned from before the age of 25. I’m 37 now and I’ve got kids, that’s the last thing I’d want to be happening."

Welcome to the nicest thread online, @shorny!

Would be smashing to meet you if we can organise something semi-planned. 

Paranoid London on the Thursday (Levels - it'll be v busy, but v good...) seems to have quite a few takers, as does Helena Hauff (Lonely Hearts, Saturday). 

I'm always loathe to be someone who 'decides', as we're a very egalitarian bunch in here! But if people maybe want to target those (and any others!) then we'd just need a bit of a plan for where/how to get together. 

Was I in the WhatsApp group last year? I think I was! If someone want to volunteer to be a hub for DMs for people to give their numbers to and get added, that would be a good start.

I'll take a DM if they're still going 🙂 

I might be at Palmsy/Jobse before Paranoid London, so could say hi if you're all there!

Ben Ufo @ Genosys could have been a good meetup, but Sat 3am is a bit of a wild slot to try to meet up 😂

Def gonna try to be at both these but they’ll be mobbed!

ha I like the idea of the 3am Ben UFO meet up, sure it would be an interesting time for lots of people who don’t know each other to meet, hugs galore.

not promising anything as I’m generally quite led by staying with my mates but Helena Hauff sounds like a plan to me. Would also happy join the group if an invite can be sent or someone tells me who to DM. Cheers

Yeah I was confused what group you were adding people into.

Send me your number and i'll add you to it - then you can add all these people who've sent you theirs already

Why is Jake shears on the lineup for 5 minutes at the NYC download? Is that an error or is he making a cameo to sing one song or something?

probably - roisin murphy did similar last year

Just like to say, as my four year old and I dance to Ibiza Sonica at 8am whilst eating breakfast in the kitchen - I'm insanely jealous of the fun you lot are soon going to have. 

Enjoy

That's incredibly magnanimous of you. If I was in your position I'd be childishly and petulantly avoiding all references to the Farm.

We'll have a little rave for you and in honour of all ticketless E/D personnel 🙌🏽

    • Absolutely love her record, System. Definitely an album that rewards a bit of commitment.   She's right on my must-see list. Hoping she's in the Walled Garden, as I think her sound might be a bit muddy if she's early-ish in Far Out.   Ben
    • Same here, I kept trying to go on A View From My Seat to see if each block was worth it. So vague!
    • Ok, I’ve had time to process the experience now, so here is my review.   The good Barcelona - what a beautiful place! What lovely people! The city was like another headliner. Stayed in El Poblenou, and the bars, cafes and restaurants were perfect. Avalanches - Absolutely spectacular, euphoric set. Fantastic stage. Possibly enhanced by substances that I timed right, for a change. Added bonus that I don’t really remember the queue. The Cure - I’ve been a fan for 34 years, and never got round to seeing them, so this was a dream come true. The XX - The sound was exceptional. The lights and setlist perfect, giving each member their moment. Was really loud where I was standing (between the front and the sound desk), but i didn’t notice any chatters - even during the quieter moments. Also loved Men I Trust, .bd. , Big Thief, NewDad and Gorillaz. The food within Parc Del Fòrum was also a lot better than I was expecting.   The bad People talking non-stop throughout some of the sets, and shouting to be heard over the music. I had to move 3 times during Wet Leg just to be able to hear the band over the crowd. It’s probably an age thing, but I just don’t understand it. You’ve paid how much to watch these acts, and now you’re standing with your back to the stage, missing the music and ruining the experience for everyone else? Odd behaviour.   The weather apocalypse on Thursday. I genuinely thought I would be able to tough it out. I couldn’t. Left after Geese. The lack of communication from Primavera didn’t help.   Whilst it was lovely to be by the sea, and the sunsets were very pretty, the site is a bit…concrete-y, isn’t it? I kind of longed for some grass and trees. Often found ourselves standing on the steps by the Adidas yard by some bamboo. This was probably a subconscious need for some nature. The fact that some of the nature included cockroaches did not negatively affect the experience.   My daughter, for running away when she saw the drug dogs in the queue on Thursday, meaning that I lost her for the whole evening. She hid her stash under a bench, and it miraculously survived the storms.   Also, can someone explain the point in having a wristband, when you still have to show your ticket every time you enter and leave the site?   Finally, I would like to nominate myself as one of the bad things about this year’s Primabera. I should have done Primavera a lot better. It was my first one, so I’m still learning, but I think I left too early on the Thursday. Left after the Cure on Friday, so I would be full of energy on Saturday, and then barely made it to the end of Gorillaz anyway, meaning I missed Overmono, Skrillex, Skullcrusher, Kneecap, and a few more I would have liked to see.   All in all Amazing lineup. Decent food options. Cupra and Cupra Pulse stages were very impressive. Weather was perfect for 3 out of the 4 days i attended.   It was always likely to be a ‘one and done’ for me, but we had a blast, even if I am starting to get too old for all this.
    • That Wednesday Razzmatazz slot is one of the best/prime slots! 
    • If they fancy chucking something together last knockings, i'm up for it! 😄 Got to get a cat sitter, but i'm 95% there
