What's next for S.E corner?

[The Nal]

rocket lounge was brill last year but it was rammed this year, I couldnt even get in the place! 

 

Was there at midnight on Sunday. Two people in there when the band came on. Literally, two!

 

Went off for a ramble and came back an hour later and it was rammed. 

 

Great boozer though. Nothing like it when the place is rocking to a good ska band.

[giantkatestacks]

should be in the park area, if at all. I don't think it fits / is a good use of space in SE Corner.

But its a lost vagueness thing so why would it be in the Park? Had my wedding reception in there.

[russycarps]

when was the year it was all alleyways then? It was decent then, but I I dont recall it being as rammed as it is now. Which is weird, because surely there were pretty much as many people on site then as now.

Where was propaganda right after the Who? Remember having a sick time in there for about 15 minutes.

Shangri La feels stale and a bit same old, same old - it should go back to the alleyways it had a few years ago.

 

Agreed loved the alley ways and the small clubs with bands in them not just DJ sets,

Think it was Chameleon, just up the track from the Pyramid. Was in there on Thursday night pretty wrecked, had a great time though.

fair enough tradition/sentimentality, but for most people, its just a venue at a festival and the majority of people going to SE corner at that time of night just want to hear / get into a venue to have a dance to some house/techno/disco/bass

[giantkatestacks]

We saw an amazing band in the house of come ons while The Who were on but it doesnt look like anyone on the official listings.

alleyways were 09, 10 & 11

Hang on Shangri-La was quite changed this year - for a start there was the CND Maze and Brainwash, without all the other minor changes like Heaven being split into four areas, and no Snakepit. There's another year to run on the story ark - though I hear it's going to go for the jugular with 'media' firmly in it's sights. Then it'll be a new story arc and no more Heaven & Hell.

Where was Brainwash? Saw them all over social media in the lead up, then completely missed them when I was there.

[CaledonianGonzo]

They need to shake things up by rearranging all the micro-venues slightly.

[pedmills]

 no more Heaven & Hell.

Does that mean the alleyways will be back?

[JoeyT]

I'm so battered by the time I get there it looks new to me each night let alone each year.

[neil999]

they need another 'weird' area, moving arcadia was a good idea...but when you realise that arcadia is just a big thing spitting flames people dont wanna go

[The Nal]

What was that thing they had in 09, 10 with people sitting on fire breathing dragons and electricity shooting across the field etc. Was that Arcadia?

[The60ftOctopus]

Wouldn't be surprised if we get two more years of Heaven/Hell along with the HQ's now the fallow year has moved.

Makes sense for them to work on it an extra year and come back with a fresh and exciting idea.

yep - the pre-spider arcadia rig.

Saw a great band in there on the Thursday night, well, only caught one song... Gutted because they were excellent.

[Uh-Oh!]

SE corner used to be a dirty little secret, but now it's just stupidly busy. I took up 2 newbies up there this year after bigging it up to them, not impressed, actually felt embarrased I took them to such a crushed up area.

[Swine_Glasto2014]

yep - the pre-spider arcadia rig.

Imo alot better.

[COPG]

To me it was pretty much identical to last year, which is a shame it used to be one of the most innovative areas of the festival.

opposite house of Come-Ons and the 16 year old bored schoolgirl slumber party - in the big hexagon thing. Next door to Shangri-Lati (the pole dancing outdoor venue) and the Squat Party

[5co77ie]

To me it was pretty much identical to last year, which is a shame it used to be one of the most innovative areas of the festival.

Only thing identical was the colour! There were a load of new venues this year - Shrinel Richie, Pluto, Posthumanists, Monster Ravers, BNP, Brainwash, House Of Come-Ons, Slumberparty, Squat, U-slip, Shangri-Lati, CND Maze (and venues). I missed SickSickSick and thought it wasn't matched by Snangri-Lati, the only returning venue was Love & Bullets i think Edited July 6, 2015 by 5co77ie
