Quite pleased with the lineup. Not pleased with the clashes. How can anyone choose between LCD Soundsystem and EW&F!? It's like choosing which member of the family to go visit at the weekend! The clashes part is bad enough but then couple that together with how long it takes to walk from one stage to another makes it twice as bad as you end up missing more. Hmmmm time to try and be strategic only to end up a pisshead who misses everything by falling asleep in the sun outside a bar!

Just Sigur Ros vs. Muse and that trio of Garfunkel/Impala/Chvrches.

I'll take Muse over Sigur Ros since I've been wanting to see them for years and always missed them.

And Garfunkel trumps the other two. Hearing some of the greatest songs to come out of New York in the 60s from one of all time great voices is too difficult to pass up. Plus, I didn't go to the Acoustic Stage last year so keen to check it out. I'm seeing Impala at NOS Alive, and I imagine I'll have plenty of opportunities to check out Chvrches over the years (although I'm sure their performance this year will be iconic for their career)

Edit: There are plenty more 'clashes', but those are the only two that are really bothersome. I'd love to see EWF for example, but I don't really consider that a clash because LCD are must see.

Only must sees that clash are Hinds/Mystery Jets and LCD/EW&F.

Bat for Lashes/ELO is quite annoying but I've been waiting for BFL to make an appearance ever since 2009 when they cocked up the timings in the programme and I missed the majority of her set.

A few clashes of acts who I would've quite liked to check out but I'm not gonna agonise about who to see, I'll just see how I feel on the day. Such as Daughter/ZZ Top, John Grant/Last Shadow Puppets, Beck/Guy Garvey etc.

The clash gods have been very kind this year and I thank them for it!

I wish i had that optimism! Prior to today I classed LCD soundsystem and EWF both as must sees. Tame Impala have saved me the clash of Radiohead Vs anyone else on at the time so Chvrches it is.

Art Garfunkel vs Floating Points may just be the most devastating clash in all my years of festivals. I'm torn apart. Adding insult to injury, that's Santigold and Beak> off the table as well.

I would point out to my honourable friend Floor Filler that one could very easily watch Car Seat Headrest's set in its entirety and get oneself down to West Holts in time for a good 45+ minutes of Anna Meredith. There's always the chance of a CSH headrest set in the crow's nest later that day, but sod's law says it lands right in the middle of Saturday afternoon's BASTARD CLASH.

tbh come Saturday morning getting to a venue for anywhere in the am is pretty ambitious in itself, although if i do happen to be up that early i may even do Four Tet > Car Seat Headrest > Anna Meredith

- PJ Harvey/Beck/Grimes/Mac DeMarco (they don't all directly clash but will only be able to see 1 full set :(

- James Blake/M83

Tame Impala/Floating Points

Wolf Alice/Jagwar Ma (hopefully catch Jagwar Ma at NOS)

Stormzy/Savages (getting from Foals to Savages and then back to Sigur Ros is a stretch too far for me)

Foals/EITS (really gutted about this but Foals on the Pyramid is unmissable for me)

Madness/Kurt Vile (missing Kurt Vile really is madness but we promised as a group to all watch Madness together)

Only thing concerning me at the moment is Muse vs Richard Hawley. 

Will watch Foals then head towards the back and see some of Muse. Hawley is only on at 11pm but it's a trek up to The Park.

Well with the lineup released comes the awful awful clashes, so, go on, who will you be sacrificing to see somebody else?

 

Beck vs PJ Harvey

LCD Soundsystem vs Grimes vs Earth Wind & Fire

Car Seat Headrest vs Anna Meredith (will choose on the day)

Adele vs M83 vs James Blake

Tame Impala vs Floating Points vs Chvrches vs Art Garfunkel (keep noticing new additions to this one - what a fucker)

Vince Staples vs Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Kamasi Washington vs Hinds

Foals vs Explosions in the Sky

i'm sure there are more but these are the current biggies - not nearly as heartbreaking as previous years

Pretty much the same as mine right through, Adele aside. Although there are a few little acts I could tack onto some of these, but they  aren't really that catastrophic.

CSH vs Meredith is annoying but Meredith wipes out most of Cat's Eyes too so 2 vs 1 sorry Anne. Plus I think UK-based Meredith will tour and feature more frequently than Toledo.

EDIT: also had a small fright when I spotted the Matt Corby-Kamasi Washington clash. Then I realised Matt Corby wasn't Kevin Morby and felt sufficiently embarrassed. :lol:

it's probably the one i'm most torn about. these types of clashes aren't supposed to happen this early in the day! probably just be a decide on the day affair, although Cat's Eyes vs Oddisee right after each is also a shitter

Cat's Eyes and Oddisee don't clash. Twenty minutes between - tho I've got lost every single time I've tried to walk directly between those stages so I need to spend Wednesday and Thursday practicing.

    • 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.
