Electronica/Dance

[Mezhyp1]

I wonder if the TBA on Arcadia on Sunday may be DJ EZ, he appears to have the whole weekend TBA in his tour dates

What kind of crowd do people think Underworld will get? Disclosure will take a few off it and so will Muse. Saw them around 8 years ago and really enjoyed them and never seen a WH headliner, so I'll pop that cherry so to speak.

This my ultimate clash - probably the top three acts that I wanted to see this year.

Prefer electronica, so it's a toss up between Disclosure and Underworld.

Love both, Disclosure at West Holts a couple of year back was epic...

After much thought, I'm going with Underworld - Born Slippy going off is a Glasto moment waiting to happen..

Think the oldies will be at West Holts, young 'uns will be at the other stage for Disclosure (I reckon)

That wouldn't surprise me actually. Whisper it, but.....I used to partial to a bit of bassline back in my youth.

I think if its him, Ill finish at Dubfire this year in the Glade.

could make sense for EZ as his set on WOW last year was hideously rammed and they may want to avoid that again

[Winslow Leach]

I'd be up for EZ on Arcadia. People's most common criticism of him is that he's been playing the same sets for years but I've never seen him so not really a problem for me.

[Brad2434]

EZ was great fun on Arcadia in 2014.

I really want to see Unknown Mortal Orchestra on the Park stage at 15:30 on the Friday, but it seems to be when Bicep/Vynehall will be playing on the WOW stage.

Never seem to generate much love for Plaid when I mention them in here. They are more the head nodding electronica than the gurning all-nighters, I admit, but I adore them just the same and CAN. NOT. WAIT. to see them on Sunday night late in the Glade.

Anyhoo, just to say that the new record The Digging Remedy  is out tomorrow and is bloody brilliant!

First track that was released from the album is a cracker and I shall dance my little tired socks off to it in the early hours of Monday morning!

Great stuff, saw Shadow Dancer tweeting about the Plaid album yesterday so will definitely give the album a spin, can picture myself enjoying them a lot 

[HerrJAH]

Just discovered Simon Shackleton on the Spotify playlist. Loving a bit of that!

Only recently discovered Plaid (heard them on 6 Music) and definitely will be at the Glade to watch them.  I prefer the "head nodding electronica" to the relentless beat driven stuff.  Can anyone recommend anything at else along those lines playing at Glasto (already planning on seeing Beak>)?

[Mezhyp1]

The Beat Hotel is definitely moving this year, but not far. Here's some details complete with a cocktail menu

The Smoked Chicken Club looks nice, but they appear to be missing half the ingredients from a Bloody Mary.

Will be my first time at BH too - just too much good stuff. It always looked a wee bit sw*nky when I walked past to/from JPT. Does it get ramma-roonied?

Had a compilation on last night and this came on. Nearly jumped for joy when the vocal sample came on. Wonderful stuff.

It always looked rammed nearer the end of the days when I went past early. Early hours it seemed quite empty

 

I never went past there after headliners so dunno how packed it is as a night time zone

It does get busy, but often seems busier as a lot of people hang around the entrance as that's where they sell food and there's the sign with the steps people like to dance on (don't get it)

so never a problem getting in? I thought that people did that because it was too busy

Presumably the sound doesn't carry that well out there either?

Not that you needed any convincing, but Flo Po was outstanding at Primavera... His fookin lasers too! Wew

Almost certainly my most anticipated set of the weekend, Tuna, so glad it was ace for you, and I can't wait.

This arrived today...it's even tempting me to break the rule of not wearing a band's t-shirt to a band's gig/set...

The Pyramid design kind of makes it perfect for Sunday at Glastonbury...

this is exactly the kind of grooving I need on a Sunday night, both tonight and in TWO WEEKS time

has anyone heard if A Skllls or Krafty  Kuts will be back this year?

@shuttlep Did you ever find out if either or both will be playing this year? I asked Krafty Kuts on twitter and he didn't respond. Both guys have a gap that weekend in their schedules (except one night where Krafty Kuts is in nearby Exeter). I am starting to think these two will do something together at Glasto and may be one of the TBAs.

I've poured over the list of artists and can't see them anywhere

 

shame , but you never know they might pop up
