Aye definitely one to file in the 'unlikely' but it's hard to know what the IICON budget is like with just 1 data point innit.

Could be a bit bigger this year because they won't have such high build costs.  IICON is from Block9's budget so it's whatever they used to spend on London Underground + an increase of x

So, yeah we don't know what the budget is like :-)

How expensive is he? If Parklife get him, surely the Farm can afford him...?

I dunno he’s got deep pockets Sasha. Makes enough money.

I'm not sure. The Holosphere and EPiC rig will be outside GFL's budget (unless it's as a main stage headliner) but a DJ set is a DJ set, surely? Just bring some wellies and a 256GB memory stick! If he's in or near the UK in late June, he must be in contention.

Anyone been to any of Andy Weatherall's Love from Outer Space nights before? Going to one in a couple of weeks.

I know it's fucking w*nky to say so, but how does such a grim festival attract such a strong electronic line up year on year...?

Right I know a lot of acts playing in bloc 9, IICON, Downlow and I’ve been told not to say anything. 
 

Sorry guys. 
 

But what I can say is it looks great. Couple of djs who’ve never played before. No one absolutely stonking huge though.

Just say I'll be super pleased, Matt. That's all I need and all I want. I don't want to know who, yet.

Part of me wouldn't like know, I often don't even like if they've got their own poster. 

When the full line up goes on the website frantically scrolling down the page to see who is playing where in the small hours is a tremendous buzz

Ahhh...I see what you're doing there, @Tuna

Matt can't tell us. And you're not asking him.

Clever.

Beautiful stuff from the big man here in probably the most beautiful dj booth on the planet.

I'd imagine the WHP connection is a big pull

[Tommy Dickfingers]

WHP bookings are always pretty solid if not a bit samey. Ultimately they’re running a massive business as well as trying to cater to some sort of credible underground audience if they can. You’d have to say they’re successful in that. 

The people who do the bookings have good taste, a lot of them run their own nights as well in Manchester.

Is DJ Harvey playing coz he like my post on the gram begging him to play so technically the cat is out the bag now.

Yip - loads of times but not for a couple of years. I’m going in Glasgow in February though.

They are great nights though. Top tunes and a great audience. Have fun.

btw - Sean Johnston - the other part of Alfos- is a very accomplished DJ too. 
 

I mentioned on this thread that I’d love to see it at Glastonbury

Any crossover with Awakenings? Techno?

Yes, brilliant! 

[Matt42]

I could get in a lot of trouble just due to who it was that told me names. Sorry guys. Came from very high up in that camp.

[Mezhyp1]

Come on Harvey let's go Harvey
