Yeah, this... it's going to have to be one end or the other. The Stonebridge run is really strong on Sunday, but whether the Stonebridge crowd / ground is up to scratch by then, will have to see.

Stonebridge is really strong every day this year.

 

I could happily stay there all day on Saturday. I wandered into hip hop karaoke in-between acts in the park a couple of years ago and it was brilliant!

This might sound daft but I don’t wanna end my Glastonbury at Stonebridge as much as I like it it’s just a tent in the Park. I know for a fact most of my crew will see Pearson Sound and Call Super then just go back the tent saying they’re knackered. If I’ve got them at Bloc9 they’ll stay till the death. 

Not daft at all. Rain or shine, I'm finishing my festival dancing in the great outdoors with whatever kindred spirits want to squeeze the last drop out of it. After two long years, it's the least the Farm can expect from me...

Exactly. I want to finish it dancing in daylight or at least sun coming up. Then the long walk back to the tent taking it all in saying your goodbyes to places. It’s never sad it’s always nice. You’ve had your fun. Can take you 3 hours to get back your tent dicking about.

My crew are the same, I'm usually the last one each night so I know for a fact I'd have no hope of dragging them from the park to the SEC but I think they're all going for Daniel Avery and haai in the beat hotel so Sunday will be solo anyway. Whatever I decide early in the night though I intend to finish up in the gas tower.

Totally this. If I’ve done it properly, then as magnificent as it’s been, by 5am on a Monday, I’m done!

Maceo's – not sure it's announced yet, think it's tomorrow. Am following Benji B so expecting a crowd to disperse fast as I fail to bring Virgil Abloh along for moral support.

From what I can see, Denis Sulta is playing a 7am disco and funk set on Friday morning, which should be beyond messy.

Disco, funk and trance classics?

It'll be very busy but my gut says a good portion of the crowd may struggle with it as the closer – amazing tough-as-nails music, but not a lot of levity. Bit of a tricky slot for them.

yeah well this is my issue, i dont have a closer! im more of a happy electronic music listener. bit slower and not as hard as most the stuff thats big now. but no idea who those ppl may be hah. DJ Koze / nicolas jarr / j hopkins are more my bag

Amazing! Always wanted to see inside Maceos at glasto, they done the crew bar at bestival one year and it was amazing. Kerry Chandler played in a shipping container it was brilliant.

Surprised there's not been more uptake on the Rhythm Section takeover of Stonebridge on the Friday... hopefully means itll be less busy for my mates and I.

The night time is ridiculous this year. Spoilt for choice doesn't even cover it. Stuck between trying to properly plan it or to identify 4 or 5 'must sees' and take it as it goes!

Yes, I have performed at Hip Hop Karaoke ? I’m considering a return this year

I've considered it the last few years but always chickened out. I can spit A Milli from start to finish from memory but it's not really a "party" rap song, and a lot of the choices are ones that get the crowd going. I think most people doing it are well prepared, although I've seen some shambolic performances ?

with maceos what are they actually checking to let people in? do block 9 staff have their own separate wristband or is it the standard glasto staff wristband?

 

i’m trading this year so won’t have the standard punter wristband it’s the staff one so hoping this and a combination of some blagging might wangle me in...

Resident freak over here yeah I’m very tall. Great for all my mates when I say we’re at this stage than can find me pretty quickly. 

I am properly struggling at work now. Finish on Friday considering not bothering at all. 

I am as small as you are tall (5ft 5). If you feel yourself trod on a small, Scottish guy with long hair then we have crossed paths

    • 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
