FishOctagon really tempting me for Saturday night tbh. 
 

Think we’ll stick with Caribou, but after years of us collectively asking for a decent trance set, it’ll be tough to pass this up. 

I'm still mulling this one over, I really want to see Caribou but not sure I can pass on a 90 minute trance set.

In the same boat. 
 

Caribou are my number one act to see, haven’t caught them live in a decade. 
 

Would also be my first ever Park headliner. 
 

But a full trance set at Glastonbury is as rare as they come. 
 

It’s a genuine dilemma.

I saw them in 2022 but my other half hasn't and really wants to see them, but she is partial to some Trance as well. I think it'll be a split decision on the day for us.

I think I might well do this if Im not on shift. Think the only trance I've ever seen at Glasto was Above and Beyond around 2010

I messaged Fish Octagon on Insta, to paraphrase his response….

 

It will be 90% trance classics, some of which are remixes. I will 100% play Binary Finary and probably System F and loads of 90s stuff. 

 

Holy hell, I commented his TikTok requesting System F. Out of The Blue is probably THE definitive track of my teenage trance experience. It would be mental to choreograph my whole Saturday night to peak for this moment...but I'm really considering it now...

Thread meet-up

 

And so, team, attention turns to the annual Glastonbury Herding Cats Competition™️!

 

We have, for the last few years attempted, with varying success, to try to get some of the Thread faithful together on a dance floor, to put faces to usernames and have an on-Farm celebratory dance, doing one of the things we all love so much.

 

As ever, I will be in no way dictatorial, so am open to ideas as to which sets people feel might lend themselves to a get together.

 

Sunday night at The Temple seems to be on many people's schedule, so it's probably reasonable to have that one as a likely venue.

 

The other one that sticks out is, of course, fish56octagon on Greenpeace (Rave Tree), Saturday 2230-0000h. I'll defo be there and would dearly love the chance to meet up with some of you, those that I've danced with before and those I haven't.

 

Anyway, thoughts and answers on a postcard (ask your parents, Youngers...) with any ideas you might have.

 

Not long now, gang.

For full disclosure, these were organised, unbeknownst to me, by a dear camp-mate and pal of mine. I will, of course, enter into the spirit of this, despite the suggestion of shameless (and baseless 😆) self-aggrandisement, as he's gone to so much trouble. 

 

However, they will need to be requested, should we come across one another on a Farm dance floor.

 

Thus endeth the Public Service Announcement.

Getting all excited again...

Friday - Still no plan. Max under the DFly 10:50-11:50, to those who can?

Sat - Can't promise that this Fish will be at Fish56, but I'm definitely at the Glade later on, so I also suggest late-Hawtin / early-Lens between 1&2.

Sun - Temple, of course, Kikikiki into Mr Sims. Position A all-nite long. (Well, maybe with the odd rest of the old-legs).

Of the two i will most likely be at Fish56Octagon, its high up on my list, but the GF is currently contemplating CharlieXCX. She does love her trance though, so I am lobbying hard around the negotiating table and I reckon I can get her to at least part of the Fish set.

This is getting harder and harder to say no to!  Our group is mainly Canadians who (understandably) are set on Neil Young on the Pyramid.  Had promised I would be there too (even read his 500 page book to get more of an insight into his thinking 😆).  
But the thought of bouncing to some trance weapons is proving hard to resist.

My suggestion is KI/KI at the Temple but maybe a Thursday date would be a good idea too

I am 99.99% sure this will not be the type of set she'll play in The Temple, don't worry.

 

That set above is a completely different setting - it's a 'house party'. On the Sunday, she's playing before Ben Sims, in a programme that seems to be becoming an annual, solid techno session.

 

For reassurance, I've seen her twice on the Farm - Thursday Levels in 2023, she played a brilliant (techy) trance set; Friday 2024 Arcadia, she was b2b with HAAi and it was one of my favourite ever dance sets (albeit quite short...) at Glastonbury. HAAi was firing techno missiles and KI/KI was responding with tech-trance weapons. Truly magnificent.

 

Don't panic, it's all going to be fine*

    • It can take around 30-45 mins to walk from the arena back to the transport hub with the crowds, depending on density. Allow even longer in poor conditions. I don't think you'd need to leave Linkin Park early though, you have at least an hour and 20 minutes to walk to transportation. I certainly wouldn't leave early in your shoes, knowing I can just walk to the airport if needs be (2 mile walk and another 30 - 45 min walk depending on your walking speed and conditions.) Maybe just don't linger too long for the toilet / food after Linkin Park have finished.  It will definitely make sense and all just fall into place on the night, don't worry too much and have a great time. The very worst that can happen is a little extra walking to the Airport Skylink bus stop, as those Skylink busses are 100% 24 hour. 🙂  GFS, ICON and ECMWF are ALL in agreement on the latest runs.... After a mildly moist Weds and Thurs, high Pressure building from Friday... Lets just hope they continue to agree... ☀️☀️☀️
