The truth is I was not much into dance music when I started going to Glastonbury. Now I throw myself into it head first. 

 

Every year I catch acts for the first time and come back loving them. VTSS & Elka last year were superb. Would not have known who they were when  line ups came out. 

 

So fully expects to love a couple of acts this year that I have no idea about at this point in life 

 

This is me too, wasn't so much into electronic music when I was younger but these days it's what i'm mostly interested in doing at the festival. Most of what I know about current electronic music i've picked up through this thread, so thanks for that everyone - keep the recommendations for this year flowing!

It's the main reason I still go, to be honest. Over two thirds of my time is spent enjoying the electronic side of the festival, with the odd foray towards a band on one of the main stages. I spent hours at Babylon Rising in 2022 and 2023. Tiny tent, immaculate sound system, no mainstream names, just dub after dub in a great atmosphere. That's what the festival is all about, for me

Disclaimer, first timer's question! Having seen the Orb deliver a DJ set three times in the past 18 months, and loving it every time - where am I likely to find that kind of thing? I'm wondering if IICON would be a good place to start?

From experience of seeing the Orb play at the glade, I would say the glade 👍

 

I think IICON is a touch harder. But there are better people in the group to help you out.

Definitely on the Glade. They've been regulars there over the years. Ditto Banco de Gaia, System 7, etc.

 

Orb's set in 2017 on that Funktion One setup was a spiritual experience.

This place is one of the best little nooks at the festival, it's always going off at odd times of the day / night.

 

I know it's unlikely but I hope Helena Hauff gets booked again, the combo of her and Daniel Avery last year was really great.

2017 was my first Glastonbury. I saw The Orb and Justice. How lucky was I?!

I reckon Helena Hauff could easily be back - lots of areas will want her

cheers for that 👍 - I'm sure I'll find my way to both places!

As you were walking into the old dance village, it was on the left. 

Was there 2007 and maaaaybe 2008 as well. 

depends which end of the dance village you walk in to.

    • Muse will be about but the issue with Muse is that they’ll have the pick of doing IOW, BST, Glasto, R&L or big parks/stadiums.

    • Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞
    • Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.
    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)
