Twigs!!!

 

Ben Sims is a flippin' genius. Absolute legend of the British techno scene.

 

Ben

Yeah, Kinetic looks a lot of fun - I do fancy the Altern8 Rave Classics set! On that score, as mentioned, Denham Audio could throw in some lovely breaky stuff paired with Rebekah's pounding techno.

 

really hope they give Ben Sims 2 hours. Anything less than that just doesn't do justice to his set building. If we get Sims and KI/KI as successive sets, we're in for a treat. That's main stages headliner sack-off material, to make sure you're not queuing when the first of them comes on!

Not yet made it to a Temple set, mainly as I hate the idea of queuing for stuff at Glasto, but Altern8 and Wilkinson have the potential to pull me away from Silver Hayes - how long is the queue normally, how long before a set would you need to get there to avoid a queue? 
 

also just gave KiKi a spin and they sound decent!

If you're willing to sacrifice a headliner, you shouldn't have any problem getting in. I find the crowd in the Temple to be quite transient, there's a lot of people who poke their head in, hang around for a bit, then move on, so the queue can move reasonably quickly (subject to whoever's on, of course). Like you, I'm not necessarily one for queuing at Glastonbury, but I've never waited for more than 10 minutes to get in, when I've made the effort. And boy, is it worth the effort! Best venue at the festival at any time of day or night. My advice is, decide who you definitely want to see and get to the Common in plenty of time, observe the length of the queue and jump in as soon as possible. You won't regret it.

 

Everyone should see the sunrise at the Temple. Unparalleled vibes.

I’ve never had a massive issue but maybe I’ve just been lucky.

Agreed definitely worth the effort and the queue moves quickly (depending on who is playing)

 

I was in 5-10mins last time

Sunday. One of my best ever night on the Farm.

Techno Sunday in the Temple confirmed by Mr Sims on the old Instachats.... 

 

Also, (now I’m allowed to announce it), at the end of June i’ll be returning to @glastofest for the first time in about 15 years and playing a set at The Temple, excited for that one! Have a good weekend, Sims x

Oh FFS why Sunday 🤬 have to drive home early the next day so go to bed after Headliner. 


I'm probably in a similar boat.

Designated driver on Monday and we usually try and leave earlyish to avoid the queues. 

May have to switch plans so I can see Ki/Ki though.

It’s always pretty easy to get in later on though. 
 

Think we went in about 8pm on Thursday last year and only queued 5-10 mins. 
 

There was a decent amount of space in there too. 

We went in about 11 last year on the Thursday. Steward said it would be an hour and it was max 10 mins so no idea what she was on about. Didn’t plan to but we were then there until it finished at 3, it’s the best place to dance at Tre festival imop

I’ve never seen Sims before, but if it’s anything like this…..

 

 


Truly, he one of the *greats* of British techno, arguably all techno. He's hugely regarded in the industry as someone true to the scene and community. Let's wait for the set times, and hopefully you designated drivers can bask in the glory of the Temple before scooting off for pre-home time Zzzzs. I'd LOVE to share that dancefloor with the thread faithful ❤️

    • Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞
    • Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.
    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)
