More chance of me playing IICON than Judge Jules.

Would a B2B with palms trax be more Patrick Topping esque? If so I'll be elsewhere!

For me the answer to this is a firm no? They played B2B at Fly Open Air in September and it was a pretty far removed from Topping’s brand of tech house.

Itll be a mixed bag, based on Fly probs closer to Jobs’ style than Palms. Pretty ravey, some techno.

That's the first time I've seen a photo of the stage up close (previously I've only seen videos or photos from the back during the night time)

It's fucking massive isn't it? 

Here are a couple of videos I found on my phone, there were only a handful of people there at the start of Batu but it got busier as it went on:

I've heard Friday night on IICON is Naughties Night. Live PAs from Ultrabeat, Cascada and Flip n Fill. 5 shots for £5, Hooch £1 a bottle

HAAi interview and podcast mix from RA yesterday. Might be a bit lively for this time on a Monday.

Very infrequent poster on here but wanted to say I think that Silver Hayes lineup has a nice mix of old school and current sounds, especially gassed about the inclusion of LTJ Bukem, LCY and your Shanti, Moxie likes. Would highly recommend Shanti Celeste's latest Boiler Room with Technics and checking into Moxie's weekly NTS show. I'm the only consistent listener of electronic music in my group so have been given the daunting task of giving my pals a path in.

Was also wondering where people may see acts like Courtesy, Yu Su, Skee Mask, Or:La and Object Blue appearing if they are to play at the festival?

[TheDayman]

I'll admit my perception of Judge Jules is probably through a very specific lens. I've never actually seen him, I only know him from the Essential Mixes, Creamfields & Gods Kitchen recording's I ripped as teenager from Napster and Limerwire way back in the very early 00's. You can throw Paul Oakenfold, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten and Scot Project in to that same category too. 

That said, I still think IICON felt very transient and sparce which I think in part was a result of the style of music vs. the size of the open space.

I could see Courtesy and Or:la fitting in nicely into the Beat Hotel's replacement. Skee Mask is a tricky one. I'd say his natural home is IICON, given his leftfield, multi-genre style.

object blue (for she is a lower-case artist!), again, could be IICON, but Silver Hayes might have been the natural fit for her...

Yeah it was new and massive. They also missed a couple of their big scoops - land one or two of those names and the outlook is vastly different. People would stick around before and after. 

I have maximum faith in the bookers as they've been knocking Block9 bookings out of the park for a decade. It's great that there's a place comfortable to chuck slightly more leftfield stuff, on a whopping bit stage, in a prime slot imo.

Great! That bodes well for Thursday night's festivities! 🙂

Here's a (very) recent set for those unfamiliar:

 

Thursday night at the temple you say - seems like this could be a great start to the weekend - bouncy, vocally, uplifting, jungly hard house. Oi Oi. 🤪

Went to Alfresco Disco a few years back and decided Hooch was the way forward as they were selling it at the bar. My teeth have only just recovered.

Don't mind me replying to myself - but this set is kicking off the sheezy. Just been added to my must see's i reckon.

Yeah, I thought that may be the way it goes. Every time I've seen Skee Mask he's been alongside an act such as Objekt who I'd have thought would be solid for IICON, would be very nice to see him rock up. Will have to see how it all ties together but very much looking forward to what is in store.

I think of any Glastonbury stage i’m most interested to see what the iicon lineup will be.

Will they stick with the same programming style or go more mainstream to some degree (which i’m led to believe would be contrary to what they’ve said before)

(and by mainstream i don’t actually mean fully mainstream)

I've heard Oakenfold is playing this year if that helps you out mate.

I've just had flashbacks. Thanks for that.

I see Calibre has got a residency in Phonox over June and playing the Friday. Hoping he makes an appearance Saturday/Sunday.

That would be great! He used to play for us when we put on events in Oxford.

Also just a few funny framings, if that Hessle Audio set was billed as Ben UFO & co it would have gotten a better crowd.

Hoping I can catch the b2b jobse set or another if he plays more sets throughout the weekend

yeah, the B2B session would be excellent - both know each other pretty well - and Job defo has a great knowledge of bangers that a UK festival crowd would lap up !
