I'd be delighted if that was The Levels or Lonely Hearts, as the former is a spectacle, but the sound on the latter last year was spectacular. 

 

 

 

Yes, the sound at Lonely Hearts was about as good as I heard all weekend. Bohmer in particlaulr and Cooper. It helps their tracks are so well produced/ mixed/ mastered and the combination of the sound system was about as good as it gets. 

 

That and the sunset...

Oh man, this has got me having serious flashbacks to how great Saturday night was on Lonely Hearts last year.

 

Bohmer > Cooper > Hauff > Avery

 

The only error was that I dragged my gang away after about 45mins of DA to get to Truth for Scalping, then we couldn't get in as they'd closed the entrance to Shangri-La, so we went somewhere else, then they reopened the entrance and people caught up did get to Truth!

 

Moral: if you're dancing and it's fantastic, it almost certainly won't be more fantastic elsewhere. Stay there!

We did the same.

 

If it’s any consolation we didn’t enjoy Scalping that much in the end. I was expected them to play the instruments more, but actually they were just recording and looping very short samples mostly.

bigger likely just means moving the stands back a little bit so more people can fit in the area. It was needlessly restricted last year

It was a weird set up as it always looked packed at the back where you got in but if you made the effort to move forward there was space, I was at Nia Archives on the Saturday (sorry gang sounds like I should have been at Lonely Hearts but I did head to Avery afterwards!) and we had loads of room where we were but then they had a massive queue to get in when we left, someone needs to get the message across to move forward

Must admit I have never seen an Avery set, or to my recollection even heard one of his mixes. 
 

Will delve in….


For me he's a real DJ's DJ. Loves the craft of creating a set and as a producer he has made some fantastic stuff. 

His set with Richard Fearless on Glade last year was also great, though it suffered a little bit from being on the Thursday when less was going on - so there were a lot of people just there so that they were somewhere. But their selections were wonderful. 


After foolishly leaving his LH set early, as lamented above, I'll be looking to see him again this year. Hope he's playing elsewhere over the weekend too, as the sound on the new big Glade is, for me, only 'ok'.

Saturday at J2 must have your name on it, Ben?

They were playing their first 2 albums in full, green album followed by the brown album. Apologies if you already know, the brown album is one of the greatest electronic albums ever made. It'll probably be a mixed set at G but worth seeing anyway.

Thank you for your first review in the E&D thread. We'll have you into 200bpm nosebleed gabba before you know it

You imagine they'll revert to a more 'typical' setlist from before the Green/Brown tour. But I hope not! Getting half an hour of Brown would be heaven (is a place on Earth).

It will be a more typical set list, what they call their 'festival set'. I imagine there will be some green and brown tracks in there like Lush, Impact, Halcyon, Chime and Belfast though, maybe shorter versions than they usually do live though as they'll probably only have an hour set on The Park.

    • 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 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?    
    • Yeah mentioned in the park thread but feel more Woodsies to me
