Orbital in the daylight??

Seems that way. Love Orbital but not sure I can get excited by an hour set in the daylight. Maybe we'll see them play somewhere else too? I imagine at least a Phil DJ set is likely somewhere.

good amount of main stage dance (of mixed quality, looking at you peggy gou and Jamie XX based off what everyone here says!!)

Current POA is Dua / Coldplay (with mates, although alternatives aren't much better anyway) / Justice

Morning all, 

Off topic for the obvious Glasto chat this morning (can you tell I didn't get a ticket...) but has anyone been to Houghton? Trying to decide whether to venture out East solo or not. From the line up I'd alsways thought it would be full of older heads but having a quick search on YouTube the crowd looked a bit... influencery. Obviously this could be self selecting bias and only showing the places the sort of people who make YouTube videos head to on site. Any advice/experiences greatly received.

 

Cheers

Doubt I'll make it to Jamie XX, most likely to stick with the gf for Dua. Never heard much of his sets that's out of this world. 

Barry should be a good one, but gonna need to head early, rammo incoming.

Romy vs Two Door is tough, seen them both now. & I'll probably checking in on Avril already for a laugh.

100% there for Justice, missed this slot last time. Saw them at Brixton & was superb.

Now we wait for the E&D posters, to add further headache to these clashes.

Justice - Disclosure - Barry Can't Swim are nailed on for me to see.

Jamie XX is going to be in a terrible clash personally 

Disclosure have somehow passed me by, but listening to them this morning has got me excited for their set. Need to explore Justice next, I did catch the start of their set last time they played and remember it sounded amazing - was with my wife who's not into electronic music otherwise i'd have stayed.

Leftfield in that slot last year was ace.  Sunsets and semi darkness , good crowd atmosphere too. 

Presume a slimmed down version of the green & Brown albums being toured, or maybe some other classics added?

Friends have been and enjoyed it Good lineup and music never really stops

Main criticism was everyone seemed to take themselves pretty seriously (Nobody was in fancy dress of any kind, for instance)

They always play a good selection of classics but I reckon it'll just be a selection from those albums - but there are plenty of classics on those records though. Realistically the set will probably only be an hour, that's only like 8 Orbital tunes.

How possible do you reckon a 2nd set in the SEC, Glade or Arcadia is?

No Underworld on the line up yet despite them being active and making their way down the country on the Friday and Saturday, what are the chances of them as Glade Sunday headliner?

They are too big to headline the Glade surely it would be too rammed

justice are a wierd one, they sound fine on their albums but live is just a different animal.  their 2017 set is on YouTube somewhere

Not sure tbh, level of rammage depends on who else is playing - if they're up against Justice it may not be too bad.

They packed out West Holts in 2016 putting them on the Glade would likely be unsafe. 
 

I don’t think they’re playing unless they do a TBA somewhere. Surely they’d be on the main poster.

Id highly reccommend going to Houghton! IMO best weekend camping festival in the UK for electronic music. 

The music doesnt stop!!! haha

Has some of the best stage designs, simplicity with a huge focus on the the sound systems and acoustics.

As a 30 something year old id say majority of people there were of similar age to me, maybe abit younger. Im not sure i would say people are influencery but maybe they think about their image abit too much to focus on the music but thats just an opinion 😉

I do agree with the @Twiggy553 everyone is pretty serious, and there is a lack of maybe the fun side of partying but that being said if youre into your electronic music then its the place to be.

Once again, the electronic undercard is going to save the day. 

i cannot wait to delve into it.

It always saves the day youre right 

When do we think we can expect some of the areas line ups to drop?

they did heaps of sets last year so possible i guess - although they did play a lot of the obvious spots. glade perhaps - arcadia seems unlikely, they have bigger fish to fry for older acts i think and very limited slots

I'd expect a mix of stuff given its a festival set - assuming they have other fest shows this summer

100% too big - would be mad to accept that slot crowding aside. They should be looking to do WH again or play Woodsies. Glade is insulting

Orbital always have a set programmed for the run of shows that they are currently doing and the set will usually be the same for that run of shows. As they're doing Green/Brown shows this year i'll expect the set to be mostly from there, normally they play for 2 hours, as they will probably be playing an hour on The Park I would expect their set to the a best of the Green/Brown album. I could be wrong though.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
