I was in front of the sound desk centre for Moderat and Justice, when I was joined by about 8 other efest people. Both sets were absolutely the dogs bananas - right time, right place, right weather, right crowd, right friends Oh really? Haha! If you saw people in sparkly marching band hats then that was us! I was briefly wearing the daft hat that looked like a wig, it got too hot though so I had to ditch it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone getting into the Downlow this year have any... problems with the door staff? A lot of men not being let in without showing their junk...

I got to the Downlow about 11:30ish Sunday for MAW. Was worth it without a shadow. Looks like the Downlow is a victim of it's own success. I've never had any problems getting in before, although I did once kiss one of the girls on the door to get in, kissing on the cheek didn't suffice! I think if you aren't willing to get your chopper out for a laugh to get inside then *maybe* it isn't for you? I dunno.

Got to the NYCD at 2330 Sunday night for MAW at 0200. Wasn't missing that for anybody. Went to the "already-got-a-'tasche" queue on the left to try and blag it with real facial hair. Security guard at the front was having none of it and said to join the other, massive queue. Asked how much he wanted to let me in? "A fiver... be subtle" In. Got a full bucket of glitter thrown in my face at the bar - nearly went blind. Worth it. Shit went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyebrow Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Moderat. Special set that was. I went alone because I couldnt face trying to drag people there who would only complain. Glad I did, got to the front row, danced myself silly guzzling on coconut and lime brothers and assorted other treats. spangled. watching back on iPlayer does nothing to relay the feeling of that first jolt of bass. everyone just looked at one another. SHIT IS GOING DOWN! will live long in the memory. Thanks to you all for adding to the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishman Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Ok - a week has gone by and I can finally face the forum. An excellent year all round and, as much as i try to tell myself otherwise in the muddy years, the weather makes a hell of a difference. Echoing what others have said earlier, the spreading out of the night time venues certainly seemed to help with the crowds. Soundsystems were excellent everywhere I went and the Temple is flipping great (oh - for a full night there in a couple of years). Friday, after hot-footing down to the SEC from Flaming Lips, I was camped out at Genosys for Blawan & Shed. Met up with the infectiously enthusiastic @bennyhana22 and @Titters (who he'd dragged along!) down the front. (I managed to lose Benny on an early walk to Jagz's for Radioactive Man). Saturday night after the bands I popped into The Temple to have a look. It's enormous, there is plenty of room and the sound is great. I'd also forgotten that I am partial to a bit of D&B so 2 hours flew past in a flash. (Spangles may have been taken). Got to Genosys (and Benny again) for Cab Drivers and S&V. Sunday was a brilliant live run of Moderat, Justice and System 7 (I saw them at my first in '95, so have to go - have they changed? who cares?). Remembering my D&B passion and realising I'd not been to the Spider I then trekked up for Fabio & Grooverider followed by Roni Size under the flames (look - if Benny can admit to going to Topping, then I can admit to seeing quite a bit of D&B!). Ambled back down to my now spiritual home of Genosys for the close out - lots of tired and emotional peeps there, me included. Overall, a top, top after-hours Glastonbury .... come on 2019, hurry up! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madyaker Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 I don't really like DnB either but when you're wired as a circuit there's something about it that just makes you want to dance. It lured me into the cave beside the temple on sunday and I was there for ages covered in that UV powder stuff that we'd thrown everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr234 Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Did anyone else think the sound in temple was unreal? Swear it was better than a lot of clubs i've been to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upside down frowner Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 The sound in most places including the temple was spot on. I didn't go last year but comparing the sound quality at places such as Genosys/The Blues to 2015 was noticeably better. The sound at Arcadia seemed better but that might have been where we were stood. The bass when Goldie played wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PullingDoorsMakedPush Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Just a quick review. Was my first time at Glasto and loved it! All the sound systems were amazing which was a surprise. Highlights, Moderat (wow) Sasha @ unfairground S & D, Way Out West @ Glade Dave Seaman, Danny Howells @ Spaceport Frank Carter The XX Lowlights, The near on 7 day comedown xx 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, pretty jampacked bill that. I'm not a fan of how they're rolling out the lineup one weekend at a time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Taking some will power not to make the jump and buy tickets for this. I loved warehouse but it's a big do for anyone not living or near Manchester. Fantastic lineup though Ricardo Villalobos, Ben UFO, Bicep, Midland, Raresh, Peggy Gou, Mall Grab, Or:la, Saoirse all in the same night is a rather big coup for me - hard to resist Edited July 4, 2017 by Matt42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be safe in the knowledge it definitely won't be the best line up of the season and welcome weekend is always packed beyond the rafters Plenty more to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
