Shangi-La announced

What sort of time do we think Slaves will be on hell?

Edit: sorry I just read someone answered this on the page before.

Mum read me an article earlier saying we have a heatwave on the way and no rain predicted over the Glastonbury weekend... So hopefully it's correct!

Mums know best!

Looks like The Trojans aren't playing the Rocket Lounge this year. That makes me sad.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Added the Heaven and Hell lineups, as far as poss, to the Glastonbury 2015 Spotify playlist. Starts with Jimi Needles' ace Funky Nassau, about 3/4 of the way down.

Just listened to Jimi Needles, not bad, bit like Skrillex

[DeanoL]

Is the House of Come On's a bondage club?

Slaves on Saturday!

All getting a bit kinky!

Happy to see The Men Who Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing on the Thursday at The Rocket Lounge, well worth checking out if you fancy some Victorian steampunk metal songs about gin and mining.

[DeanoL]

Playing Heaven though, total nightmare to ever get into. Hoping he might be the Thursday TBA on Hell.

I believe Heaven is being democratised this year and opened up a fair bit, with a larger main stage. Will still be rammed but it'll be a case of getting there early enough rather than talking your way past the angels I think...

[OBface]

Ok this may be a really silly question but when they say the heaven stage where do they actually mean? Is it the indoor place you have to queue for or the bit outside that is a sort of white 3D wall? I'm guessing the latter from last year though tended to be in a different part of the SE corner late on (that or too gone to truly take much notice).

[Tuna]

Hoping the Beat Hotel and Block 9 come through strong, unfortunately a lot of the Silver Hayes/Glade/Shangri-La stuff isn't hugely to my liking. For those who it appeals to though, the lineups are very very strong.

[Slugworth]

i don't think that was there last year. I didn't spend much time in Shangri La last year but i'm pretty sure it was open air.

I'm guessing that unless they release a map, no one is going to be sure until we get there as the set up changes every year anyway but they have talked about an opening up of Heaven so they could be completely reworking that area. It's good to go for a poke around on the Wednesday/Thursday day time to get a feel for the layout and see the artworks you might miss at night.

What sort of stuff do you really like, Tuna, and how would you sum up the Glade/SH/Shangri La stuff against what you're after?

I ask as you seem to like the sort of stuff I like, and I was thinking there was a lot of stuff in the announcements for me.

(This is, clearly, a none too subtle way of getting you to go through all of the dance/electronica line-ups and tell me where I need to be!)

I am really really looking forward to Thursday now. Should be able to get to SE Corner early, catch Beans on Toast and possibly Cerrone if the field isn't rammed! The Hell stage is the open air stage isn't it?

yep its this fire breathing monster

cool. I remember going past during the day but never at night time. Looks a decent sized field as well which is handy for trying to get in. Thursday gonna be hella busy though!

[Harry3]

Spors just posted that its him, Friction and andy c doing the essential mix from the hell stage

For one, I completely forgot Block 9 had even announced! So for me so far, the WOW! Hessle Boat party, Four Tet, George Fitzgerald all in Silver Hayes. DJ Pierre in NYC Downlow if I feel particularly acidic, but MIDLAND in NYC Downlow I never saw that, which is excellent. Erol Alkan on Genosys. Jackmaster B2B Joy O in the Temple on the Sunday too but very little chance of getting in there. Nothing on Arcadia's done anything for me either, I'd maybe be tempted to see The Bug.

Refer to last year's Beat Hotel lineup - this is where I lived, pretty much. Hoping for big things. I'd love Talabot back

There is a lot, for sure. I think because stages have come one at a time, I've been particularly drawn by a name or two so have never sat back and thought "whoa". Feel a little bit inconsiderate and spoilt right now if I'm honest. This is what happens when they don't just dump the whole lineup!

Purely out of interest Ben, where do you stand on Four Tet? Based on some of the stuff you've said before I suspect he'd be your thing, but I may be completely mistaken. I know he's not playing in Shangri La, just curious.

Oh quite partial to a bit of Keiran H.

Watched his Park set on the telly last year and that was possibly one of the factors that tipped me over the 'fuck it, I was wrong, it now IS time for me to do my first Glastonbury' edge.

I'm very much hoping that Tuesday will bring the info needed to ensure that maybe, just maybe, Jon Hopkins can be my 2015 Four Tet moment...

THAT is AWESOME

[Harry3]

If it was 5 years ago Id agree but none of them do it for me anymore

[Harry3]

Shangri-la have revealed a larger poster on their Facebook. Can't post it from my phone but it's got some new additions

Can't view Facebook at work but will this not just take into account the extra acts featured on the individual stage line-ups under the Shangri-la area page on the main site?

Great stuff, I missed his set last year and nothing much is taking my fancy for Sunday evening so there's not much that will stop me being there.
