As this seems to be a thread that talks about all sorts of non-Glasto related stuff (but still dance). And there seems to be a  good community spirit here with reviews and what not. Do you guys stay on here all year round or just the run up to and come down for the festival?

Dunno really. The whole forum goes pretty quiet a few weeks after the fest and then picks up again in October when the sale rolls around. I guess if we all make an effort to post in the summer months it'll stay alive. It's not as if we all go home after glasto and sit on our hands for 4 months. I certainly have a few more festivals and gigs lined up.

I'm doing a Joe Goddard / Jon Hopkins Saturday. Still need to properly have a look at my potential DJ sets...

Actually, my current line up is looking a bit like this...

Thursday - Throwing Shade, Hunee or Stonebridge Bar, Kolsch, Seth Troxler

Friday - Greco-Roma Soundsystem, Blawan, Loefah, Youngsta

Saturday - R&S Records Takeover, Joe Goddard, Jon Hopkins, Bicep Takeoer, Pearson Sound, Guy Called Gerald, Steffi& Virginia

Sunday - Lobster Boy Takeover, Forest Swords, Justice, Kevin Saunderson

 

There will no doubt be tons more that I will remember or will have mates going to, still have tons of gaps but the line up is just too much for my little brain to take in at the moment!

See Jon Hopkins after Joe was my other option. I'm going to go to Daniel Avery in Beat Hotel, so catching some of Fort Romeau and Jennifer Cardini is probably easier than heading to the Downlow and back 

 

See I've changed my mind already

Ah I forgot about Avery too, gaaaah! So much to see! Will no doubt just select a couple of must see sets and then just go with the flow, can't see me having a bad time at anything I go to in all honesty.

I'm in the same boat. As long as I see Hunee and Young Marco on the Thursday and Masters at Work on Sunday I'm pretty easy what happens the rest of the weekend

I've got plenty of crossover with other festivals I've got booked so it means I'm pretty relaxed thankfully.

Why not? You've got plenty of time there if you skirt the Pyramid and don't stop off on the way there! 

That's the spirit! Just thinking about travel time and then queues for SE corner itself plus queues for NYC Downlow...

There is a lot of temptation to just stay on the John Peel side of the site as well with Job Jobse at Wow and good stuff going on at the Beat Hotel...Thinking it will be a game-time decision.

See I'd say you'd be very hard pushed to make it to see much of Midland at all. 

I've decided Midland will be my Saturday headliner so to speak 

I respect that decision, and I respect that placement by NYC Downlow. Anyone who is in there will have made the dedicated decision to see him over any other headliners and that will no doubt make for a special environment. I just have to see Phoenix though

Just listening to Midland for the first time and enjoying what I hear. Looks like my Saturday evening may well be:

Joe Goddard - Midland - Prosumer - Paranoid London - ???

Tasty.

I know that, thankfully, few of you are as tediously, obsessively organised as me, but does anyone have a pretty good idea by now of what they think they're doing for their dance nights?

Mine, as it stands are:

Thursday
Dave Seaman - James Monro - Seth Troxler (or Digweed if he's playing bollox!)

Friday
Jamie Jones - Bit of Bicep Live - (Radiohead) - Popof - Blown - Shed - Radioactive Man

Saturday
Possibly Spaceport TBA - Placid - Jon Hopkins - Attek (stopgap) - Heidi - Paranoid London - Steffi & Virginia

Sunday
Call Super b2b Job Jobs - Kackmaster b2b Jasper James - Kevin Saunderson - Felix/Secret Set at Gas Tower

:)

I have a feeling you read this as "starts at 00:55" :lol:

with post-headliner traffic from JP down to SE Corner (plus others getting down there early), and NYC Downlow queuing, I'd be surprised if you made it in before the end.

thought Midland would get a Beat Hotel set tbh

I think it's probably because he goes to the festival as a punter he wants to keep the djing to a minimum

I'd heard of her, but not much by her so gave some sets a listen earlier and really enjoyed it, very eclectic and right up my street!

I'm most keen on Hunne/Young Marco/Palms Trax Thursday and MAW Sunday too. Expecting heartbreak for MAW though doubt I'll get in on time.

As much as they're one of my absolute must sees, getting locked out and having to watch Kevin Saunderson is no disaster at all. I think they've thought about that one well

I reckon I'm just gonna leave the jacksons a song or 2 early to get into the downlow, should be fine right?

I got in last year having watched the full James Blake set so I imagine you'll be alright.

    • If you had to come through the fence after coming down the hill if you weren’t already down the hill then you were probably in general. From there the blocks of toilets, showers and water points aren't far at all and to your right is aldi. I know of the lake but apparently it fills up super quick and is noisy and loads of bugs....I got bitten as it was lol. But I joined a solo camp WhatsApp group so followed them.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.
