Memory Man Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) what else pees me off about parklife is that it is almost TOO all encompassing. you have the likes of Moodymann on the same lineup as someone like Jess Glynne. I don't want Jess Glynne fans anywhere near me to be honest, certainly not scraggy northern working class Jess Glynne fans You could cream off the top 30% of the acts and make a world class festival, dropping the other 70% in the bin where they belong. Its the acts on the lineup that I don't like that bring the crowd element that I don't like mostly. The north deserves a great festival and this will never be it.

Same when Grace Jones played it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mezhyp1 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Not that it was ever likely, but Larry Heard is an exclusive at Sunfall http://crackmagazine.net/2017/02/larry-heard-floating-points-helena-hauff-announced-sunfall-2017/ Which is a fucking wonderful line up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Yeah that Sunfall line up is brilliant, picked up a super earlybird ticket ages ago for £20, really well curated festival as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memory Man Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 seriously great sunfall lineup. I would pay for Larry Heard and Roy Ayers and anything else I saw would be a bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyDunlop Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 2 hours ago, Memory Man said: exactly. Took me 2 or 3 visits but i will not be going back. its basically the student farewell festival full of dreadful people who wouldnt know good music if it slapped them in the chops. which makes it all the more odd why it gets such a good lineup. Its the WHP festival isnt it..... they get them all on exclusive contracts for WHP & parklife and probably combined in some cases (most likely). chuck the albert hall shows in there as well for good measure. Doesn't help at all that its in a pretty rough area of manchester, or at least fairly close to some rough areas. It was better at Platt Fields park. Eh? Platt Fields is in one of the roughest areas going. Fallowfield, rusholme and moss side. Heaton Park isnt that bad to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Yeah Heaton Park is alright, spent most of my summer holidays there as a kid, Prestwich is a much nicer place then a fair few parts of Manchester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 ideally if Glastonbury get any of; Ben UFO, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Pangaea, Joy Orbison, The Black Madonna, Helena Hauff, Mr G, Beautiful Swimmers, HAAi, Jackmaster, Move D, Peggy Gou, Marcel Dettmann, Nina Kraviz, Lena Willikens, Ricardo Villalobos, Avalon Emerson, Midland, Bicep, Craig Richards, Jeremy Underground, Kornel Kovacs, Mall Grab, Moxie, Call Super, DJ Nobu, Objekt, KiNK, Matrixxman, Pearson Sound, Jane Fitz, Artefakt, Blawan, Dr Rubenstein, Rodhad, Truncate I've left out loads but if Glastonbury can scoop up a good deal of these i'd be happy... all seem to be about in June so it's a fingers crossed jobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSF Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Only hope of Marcel Dettmann and Nina K would on the Friday. Throw them and Rodhad onto the Arcadia line up and that'd be something special. Very unlikely though. Edited February 1, 2017 by LSF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
