Next Announcement 2017 Thread

Just noticed that Confidence Man (a new band from Australia) are playing Friday 12.00 at Williams Green.

I saw them a couple of weeks ago at their first UK show. Not going to be everyone's cup of musical tea for sure, but if you like something a bit fun with bonkers dancing (think Deelite with attitude and extra campness, tight shorts and baby doll dresses) I recommend them! Everyone came out of their show smiling like loons.

Have a look at this tweet of some video footage from the gig to get an idea

After not seeing a single act at the Pyramid last year, I'm considering buying a chair and rug for Friday.

Caught them at Dot to Dot in Bristol. Absolutely insane. Have never seen an entire room grooving away. Honestly one of the best gigs I've been to in years.

They're also playing the Rabbit Hole on the friday at 3am which will just be such a party.

See a few people on Twitter now saying Liam Gallagher has been added to the updated poster. Any truth in this do you think?

Actually how fast could I get from the park to the other stage? Elbow to Lorde? 

This is all assuming elbow are the tba on the park.... where did that info come from??

If they arent how quick can I get from John peel to the other? Future islands to lorde?

You won't have a problem, you can hear the Other as soon as you leave the Park (assuming Arcadia hasn't started yet).

JP to Other is easy.  Can do it in 5 mins or so in good weather.

JP to Park is half an hour on a good day.

I'm going to work it I think as run from Gibb to WHs, I did it for Underworld last year in 5 mins and that was mud!, watch until he's played Angel which won't be that far in being an hour set, get back for Chic, run from Pyramid into the Gully for 23:30. It's a lot of work but you'll catch it wasn't me at the other end and hope he doesn't start with Boombastic and Gibb finishes 5 mins before time...I'm happy to stand at the back for it.

That knackers me out just thinking about it

Shaggy's been consigned to the clash-bin.  Close but no cigar, Orville.

Agreed! But it works! If you miss Boombastic the chances are you won't care about the next song and Angel will probably be 3rd down based on a 14 set list he did a while back,you might get it 4th down if he squeezes 15/16 in. Not sure where you are Sunday eve but I'm getting from Sheeran there somehow for 11:30, it means me standing on the side of the stage I'd rather be less so but needs must.

Heads been mashed by clashfinder all day

Does anyone fancy helping me complete an ol' stylee AA map approx walktimes so I can further add to my current Avalanches / DJ Shadow quandary

I know that it's all subjective to time/weather/spatial awareness

 

walk times..xlsx

[calamitymaud]

What's everyones final act they're seeing on Sunday?

Currently have down Kano and Metronomy and that's all kinds of underwhelming.
