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.

    • Been last time in 2018 when the festival was happening in parque Bela vista. ls the new location good for such a big festival? What's the temperature in the evening near Tejo? Should we bring a raincoat or a jacket?

    • Chemical Brothers? All for it cause they’re phenomenal live but struggle to see how they’d go down. Would anticipate Chase and Status/Prodigy coming back at some point though.
    • really???    once the buyer has entered the site will they not have a message saying the person has already entered ?? 🤔
