I love The Blues and wanted to see FBS but it was so busy you couldn't move and decided to go elsewhere. Took about 15mins to move 30 yards to the edge of the crowd.

Jaguar Skills doing a secret set on friday in Pussy Parlure was exceptional though.

I've yet to see a good set at Sonic but I think that's more to do with the stage and the location TBH. 

I really enjoyed Annie Mac before him but that was probably due to sobering up as to why I was disappointed. But I agree, there's way too much sound bleed in the whole of that area.

Despite the fact that he seems to play multiple times every year, every stage he plays at is rammed. It's impossible to even walk through Silver Hayes if he is playing in there.

I probably got closer to him than his hard core fans have managed to at Glastonbury. I watched Stevie Wonder in 2010 and he was stood with Zoe Ball behind us.

First UK tour in 2008? Really? Didn't he tour for the 12 year prior?

You've made me think now. Did he? Under the name of Deadmau5?

I had never heard of him until i see him sub Fatboy Slim at Wireless.

Hang on, have we been at cross purposes for the past few posts? I'm still talking about Fatboy Slim, not Deadmau5. I've not seen Deadmau5, but I believe he puts on a bit more of a show than Norman.

Maybe there could be a big beat special featuring Fatboy, Derek Dahlarge, Jon Carter, Bentley Rhythm Ace , Propeller Heads and The Wiseguys.

As far as I can remember big beats popularity coincided with a dearth of quality drugs and was quite popular as it sounded good when you were pissed and doing amyl nitrate/ Next thing you know the strong pills reappeared and everyone was listening to Dutch Trance and sticking glow in the dark clothes pegs on their heads..

Even though I was there at the time I've no idea if any of this is true. I just wanted to say that this is an absolutely cracking 'theory' though.

 

Weirdly enough I'm actually going to see A-Skillz at Koko tonight (and if I think a out it, chances are that I will indeed just get pissed).

An interesting article from Damien Harris the founder of Skint Records on the Big Beat scene.

Some of it was pretty good to fair such as this Jon Carter selection

Haha apologies. I was talking about Mau5.

It would be cool if they've managed to extend the licence for the JPT a bit because of its move, allowing them to have late night 'closing' sets in there. So Underworld on the Friday, Fatboy on the Saturday and Annie Mac on the Sunday. 

Obviously thats a pipe dream but still :D

That would be amazing. Let's go with that

That's a cracking theory that I'd love to be true but can't see it :(

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
