announcement

[Badlands]

Ah ok. Cheers.

I still want to see them do a full show, will keep checking for dates and see if they get added somewhere on the bill I guess

Yeah, I hope they're back this year tbh, they're ace live.

The sound in the Sonic is generally shit, but I also think it depends in what music is playing. Simple/bassy music tends to be ok, it was passable for Richie Hawtin and I was just outside the tent, but if you're wanting to listen to anything more complex you're fucked. Saw Gold Panda in there one year and all I could really hear was the bass.

So when are we expecting this Silver Hayes announcement then?

the others have been mid afternoon

[FloorFiller]

ooh i've been away a couple of days so thought people were just pointlessly slagging off the Silver Hayes area - had no idea we were due an announcement. i agree that the area can be a bit shit, but always a few decent acts there so this is exciting

[JoeyT]

yeah afternoon around 3pm would be my guess.

always thought the atmosphere was horrible, also got caught in a bottleneck there that was genuinely scary

To be honest, as a man in his late 30's, it's more the crowd than the actual place that annoys me. Well, annoy may not be the right word, I just feel really old when I'm there....

[Spindles]

A full stop. As in fool stop? As in Fool! Stop! As in fool, stop what you're doing right now, an announcement is imminent?

Could it be?

He's been doing this for a while. Just posting a full stop and nothing else. I can't figure it out.

Not to be pedantic but it wasn't a bank holiday in the USA was it?

I give credence to the bank holiday thing. I work in the media and it is a crap day to announce anything.

Memorial day weekend happens to fall the same weekend as whitsun, so actually, yes it was.

Ask Techguy.

[zero000]

Bob Harrison didn't come through for him? What a shitter.

[Spindles]

The real info hotspot is Tommy Vance in his leather pants.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fluff Freeman will shortly present his Pick of the Announcements.

So 64 stages with running order was announced on this day in 2014...

[Zoo Music Girl]

I went to see Hypnotic Brass Ensemble last time I went in 13, sonic stage, they never turned up (at least within 20 minutes of their set time) so I sacked it off.

I also went for the EDL (English Disco Lovers) night in I think it was Pussy Parlure but that was shit so I sacked that off.

So yeah, Silver Hayes hasn't really done it for me either

They did turn up and they were brilliant but it was bloody late. I really don't like the atmosphere round there so it was grim waiting for them. I didn't mind it in my first couple of years - 2008 and 2009 - but not sure if it's me or it that's changed.

Lol, I'm glad you clarified what you meant by EDL. Tommy Robinson subs Hitler on the other stage...

People do it to get to the last page when they're on the mobile site, rather than changing the URL to get them to the right page.

And the smart money is NOT on a 2015 repeat, I'd say.

[swede]

The silent disco in the sonic tent is great and the blues is one of my favourite stages

Shame. I thought I'd stumbled across some kind of numbers station style mystery

Fair enough. still think bank holiday is unlikely personally though.

[Memory Man]

Silver hayes today, full lineup weds or thurs next week. It surely cant go on any longer than that for the full lineup or we'll be in june by the time it comes out! : /

[zeppelin]

What are guys all going to do when the lineup has actually been announced? Haha!

[jackarmy]

The Blues & The Gully have been two of the best recent additions to the festival for me. Great places to start the day, and they rarely get mega-swamped so they act as good places to meet up with friends.

The bar at The Blues also sells very strong rum based cocktails.
