Care to elaborate on that to a first timer? It was probably the lineup I was looking forward to the most in terms of DJs based on past lineups, but have read a few similar comments now in various threads.

It’s full of people who like to stand around and be seen whilst taking far too much coke, only place I’ve ever felt a slightly unfriendly vibe at Glastonbury (I have also once had a great Thursday  afternoon in there when it was the Beat Hotel)

if anyone's interested, Optimo are back on the farm - two sets apparently ( Friday and Saturday), unsure where though 

stonebridge a very safe bet (may have heard it somewhere, can't remember!)

I'd expect orbital's setlist to be similar to their drumsheds show in november

@maelzoidmade this with the help of Morgan Freeman. Hope it’s helpful. Script by @The Nal (edit- now added)
 


The Nal: Beat Hotel/San Remo still created/creates a tacky pissed up in the central square in Torremolinos type vibe. Outside anyway. Packs of wannabe Love Island goblins stood on the sign outside high on cheap coke wearing looky looky ray bans saying dodgy sh*t to women with a slight aggression towards any blokes they dont know who walk by. All the while creating piles of litter.

I've always found Beat Hotel and San Remo a touch moody at times. Never aggy, just a bit moody. Could be the drug of choice, could be the attitude of the clientele. Feels like many of the experiences I've had in some London clubs over the years. Still enjoyable but not as friendly an atmosphere as elsewhere.

 

But it's nothing like Love Bullets was that one year. The only time I've ever seen a full scale police raid at Glastonbury, across an entire field. That area was awful. It even managed to make the Elrow takeover feel dark.

I didn't go to the festival last year but I remember seeing a spreadsheet here with genres, links to key sets, etc - just wondering if there's anything similar this year as I actually have a ticket?

 

10 years ago I was a student and had plenty of time to keep up with current artists, releases, etc and knew a hefty amount of the names on the lineup. Now, not so much, so could do with some research material!

If people want one made for all the electronic stages let me know!

 

That would be awesome!

😄 Brilliant. Or at least it would be brilliant if it wasn't delivering news I didn't want to get. Was banking on this being a stage I'd spend a lot of time at but not sure I'll fit in by the sounds of the crowd.

For me he's a real DJ's DJ. Loves the craft of creating a set and as a producer he has made some fantastic stuff. 

His set with Richard Fearless on Glade last year was also great, though it suffered a little bit from being on the Thursday when less was going on - so there were a lot of people just there so that they were somewhere. But their selections were wonderful. 


After foolishly leaving his LH set early, as lamented above, I'll be looking to see him again this year. Hope he's playing elsewhere over the weekend too, as the sound on the new big Glade is, for me, only 'ok'.

So team…

 

Who are your must sees from the Glade and Shangri La drops? 


I'm Team @GrumpyRaver!

 

I think Daniel Avery is the only must-see for me, though (a) I'd forego that if he was playing somewhere else and (b) if Effy gets a good slot then she could be really good through the Glade Dome rig.

Hmmm. It's a funny old place, for me. I went to the Beat Hotel only a couple of times, in the daytime, and it was...odd. I told myself that it's just not for me and I wouldn't be bothering it again. 

Then, in 2022, I left my entire gang watching McCartney as I legged it to San Remo to make sure I was there for the start of Jon Hopkins. I'm glad I went. Because it confirmed for me beyond all possible doubt that I will never go in there again!! 

1. It's too light, at night. I don't know what kind of vibe they're trying to create in there, but it's not the sort of club atmosphere that this raver likes. 
2. The people were farkin' horrible! The vast majority did not seem to be there to dance, but were just there to be somewhere. It was the most discourteous crowd I've ever been in, with people turning around and whacking you with their backpacks, with zero awareness or consideration for anyone around them. There was SO much talking, you could barely hear JH over the mediocre sound system. 
 

As @Supernintendo Chalmers suggested, defo the wrong type/quality of drugs in there! 
 

I'm sure it's more a me issue than necessarily the place, but twice bitten, twice shy for me. Saying all of that, I quite like all the people crowded on the structure outside as I walk to and from Woodsies in the daytime!

    • 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
