Good choice not having Bicep on under the junction/bridge/motorway/road/whatever - would be absolutely rammo.

I also think it's a good choice but because I want to see Villalobos under the bridge!

Not sure there's a huge capacity difference between The Hex and The Bridge to be honest, the shape is of course different but I reckon more people fit under the flyover.

Jeff Mills on 6 Music shortly with an afro-beat mix.

Was at the Jeff & Tony Allen thing last night at the Barbican ... intriguing in its way, although drifted off into jazz-style noodling in places. Still, a nice comfy chair for this old man and it certainly was different surroundings to how me & Jeff used to spend our nights together 20-something years ago.

OMG..... Please watch this, it had me smiling from start to finish. Apologies if it's been posted before. It's an Italian guy, from Rome, performing "Street Techno" he basically reproduces thousands of pounds worth of electronic gadgetry on pots, pans, drums, bits of plastic and scrap metal. I was blown away listening to it. If it's too long just give the first 5mins a go to get a flavour. (Special mention to the guy in the background dancing at about 8.07)

Deffo one for you @bennyhana22 I would suggest. Anyway, here it is....

I've just watched this is an almost trance like state, it had me hooked! Fantastically talented, and yes shout out to the dancing guy!

Fucking hell!

Absolutely phenomenal and a 20 minute set MUCH better than many I’ve seen recently! That is truly astonishing! I watched with a continuous smile and a compulsion to dance. The only problem being that I’m not able to chuck him a few euros. A beautiful illustration of the huge number of unbelievably talented people who don’t get a break, resigned to street playing (unless he’s happy just doing that, of course...), compared to the talentless dross that pervades most of the well-known musical landscape. 

Thanks for posting, @Northern Soul - just fantastic.

Been reminiscing to Masters at Work the last couple of nights at home, god I love these guys. The music is absolutely timeless. Hope they make it to the farm this year. 

They were there in 2017. A dream booking for NYC Downlow. Live set here: https://www.residentadvisor.net/feed/106449

And from one end of the spectrum to the other, I’m seeing Jon Hopkins live in Bristol on Saturday...it’s going to be magnificent. I can feel it!

That's great thanks for that - that's my evening listening sorted! I can't believe they were there the year I had to miss out on the G! Absolutely gutting, unless of course they fancy another outing this year. Fingers crossed!

I look forward to your review next week Ben.

Been a few issues recently with overcrowding at Motion hopefully sort this out for Saturday.

Really hope to catch Hopkins at the farm this year he'll smash Motion that's for sure.

M.A.W were so good listened back to that set a few times now too. Saw them at Dekmantel that year but much preferred the Downlow set. 

Who do people think will play there this year? Fingers and toes crossed for Octo Octa with Eris Drew as they’re touring this summer. 

If we're talking NYC Downlow, maybe somebody like Dimitri From Paris? 

As long as I get Gesaffelstein on Genosys I'm good.

Saw him last Saturday at Albert Hall at La Discotheque event and was great! Was thinking he would be great at the Downlow.

Has he played before? looking at their previous line ups on the glasto site surprised he hasn't been there yet but that only shows the last 4 festivals.

That's a great shout and I'd be down for this - the craving for a good old funk / disco / house NYC Dowlow session is real this morning.

    • 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.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?    
    • Yeah mentioned in the park thread but feel more Woodsies to me
