Not attached to any really. Considering sacking both, saving my legs and getting stuck into S.E.C then I think probably never get to see The Cure again but can’t be arsed with the crowds. I’ve seen The Streets before but two classic albums. I dunno!

Shit. I try and prioritise people I've never seen. Particularly if there's only a slim chance of seeing them in the future. But if you're doing Kylie then bollocks to being at The Pyramid two separate times in one day if it can be avoided.

There's something really nice about being in the SEC in plenty of time without the stress. Particularly on the final day when everyone is only just holding it together.

Personally I was thinking Streets > Reef > Max Cooper. But I know that is very ambitious.

Right, need help! Out of all her sets, where’s the best place to see Haai? I need to make some serious plans for my late night wanders.

She really loves going at it hard, I think Genosys will be quite something

What are YOU doing in here?

Now, now we're an inclusive thread and all are welcome

Some shocking clashes there but a fantastic lineup overall. I've never been able to get into the beat hotel and have an enjoyable time as it always seems absolutely Dave Rodiagned every time I go. Is it worth sitting it out? 

[Matt42]

If you’re looking for a good heavy techno wonky night zenkers into stenny is about as good as you can get.

expect everyone in that crowd to be very veeeery fucked

Is the wow stage still pretty cack? They always have decent dj's but I never consider going because it's been a waste in the past, especially pre-10pm

Digweed vs Randomer is a nightmare

Will probably see Digweed as itsuits the varied taste of our party of 4 more, and traditionally I like wandering around Glade on the Thursday and saving my Block9 experience to Friday.

Yes. Go in as small a group as possible and commit to getting past the entrance and back third of the tent where all the mess-heads, dealers and 'stopping by because I recognised the name's congregate. There is space further forward and off to the sides and vibes to be found. We've tended to go there more as a secondary option in the past particularly when we wanted shelter from the rain/sun but the lineup looks vintage this year and I'll be in there a couple of times for sure.

Thursday is my least fav day at glastonbury. Everything is far too busy and I always end up either at the stone circle or mooching around. I fancy watching Digweed & or Randomer. 

Might get to Genosys really early I think.

That was my thought! Thanks!

Speaking of BH.. anyone had a crack at a playlist yet? Can't find one on Spotify, but it would be an awesome one!

@bennyhana22, now the full lineup is out and with the impressive additions to the Beat Hotel, what are your overall thoughts?

One moment caller...

Back soon!

Interesting post from Jackmaster. Really respect how open and honest he has been.

Couldn't tell you, I've only managed to get about 6 feet into the flipping thing

It's alright, but I guess that is dependent on a number of factors.

Thursday night when there's not much on elsewhere and J.E.S.u.S are playing it's pointless. I saw sardines approaching the tent and turning straight around at the sight of how busy it was in there.

For Forest Swords in 2017 it was mostly empty and so was good! Sound is nothing more than 'OK', but adequately OK.

Caught a bit of Kate Tempest and Four Tet in there one evening a few years back. For such a packed tent the atmosphere was dull as dishwater. Shame really, it’s put me off going back this year.

Glad to see him back myself, what he did was wrong but it was an isolated incident. Doesn’t deserve his life ruining over a mistake. The lad clearly had a some issues like and his ald man dying probably sent him spiralling out of control.

I agree. Abhorrent behaviour but he, like most deserves the opportunity the put things right and I guess you have to accept that this explanation/apology is a genuine one. He's done the right thing by taking an extended break. I'd like to see him become a spokesperson for how not to treat people, particularly women and maybe something positive could come from this situation eventually?

Care to elaborate on this? Seems like a massive stretch and a bit of an odd thing to say.

[stuie]

He's got a massive fan base of predominantly young guys.  If he can spread the word that it's not OK and that he was a massive c**t surely that's a good thing, no?

This does not make someone a spokesperson.

Obviously I don't disagree with your point.

Lost Village have some really interesting talks with artists, usually followed by a Q&A. Does Glastonbury have this sort of thing? Peggy Gou was really interesting to listen to.

Hopefully... there's not many DJs like Jackmaster

He needed to properly address the situation after his very vague statement last year and I feel he's now done that.
