LBHQ had one of the best lineups for me. Hopefully it will be under the form of a new stage/name. 

Also this theme definitely sounds industrial so fingers crossed for some industrial techno.

I have heard if Love Bullets is there it will be near Glade for a few reasons. Don't know why/how near Glade. However dont be suprised if not there, will update as I hear news.

[Sasperella]

The initial reactgion nin my head is something akin to: WWWWAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH  

And then wondering how on earth I can fit it all in.... Napalm Death are going to clash with Radiohead, aren't they?

 

Roni Size, Goldi, Gentlemans Duy Club, Craig Charles, London elecktricity....ohohohoh 

 

You kno when people say they can't wait for something? What if in this case it's actually true???

More info on the official site

I wouldn't assume too much about it, I mean we know the Rocket Lounge and Deluxe Diner are there, and they aren't on the poster.

Earache Express is a stage curated by Earache Records, known for metal. Looks like it's a much more musically diverse Shangri-La this year, which has often been a request!

I could see Dropkicks getting a slot in here somewhere

Craig Charles afternoon takeover was great fun last year, lovely vibes down there.

Hmmm, cheers. Interestingly though Shangri La or Glade areas hadn't changed on the map.

[Havors]

Line up aside which seems pretty good.... I'm worried this instalment is going to be an art students over indulgent experiment... And be a but contrived?

100% hope I'm wrong but the "story" behind it is a bit.... meh 

Fingers crossed it's epic.

confused at lack of lovebox

Napalm Death, Jack Bauer, Barry Gibb, Stormzy, Ani De Franco... Lovin the music mix this year!

[nowyouregideon]

Another dance based poster comes and goes without The Bloody Beetroots on it. Starting to think it may not happen this year.

Other than that this looks bloody great. Napalm Death, London Elektricity Big Band and Adam Freeland are all on the must see list.

I've had a shed load of fun at Ghetto Funk Allstars and Slamboree over the years, and now I've just seen they are doing some kind of vs. shindig. Oh my.

Awesome lineup, NAPALM DEATH, Gentlemans Dub Club, Chainska Brasiska, Craig Charles, London Elektricity Big Band, A Tribe Called Red, The Ska Avengers, Yoda. 

Tremendous. I imagine their will be a few other gems I aint heard as well. 

[TiZuff]

wtf is a clash? im so out of touch with this side of things

 

im not into metal at all so napalm does nothing for me, any good EDM / Deep house / house music in there?? (my mates prefer that type of stuff).

This little tidbit sounds interesting

'Shelter is sought inside towers of textiles, pillars of plastic and columns of consumerism. The rubbish is a refuge. Every space becomes a place to party or ponder, be it a tube train, a bus, a skip or a bin. Keep it real, Keep it tidy.'

Hoping this means little areas to hang out in and various micro-venues. Either way excited to see a new layout. Hope Love Bullets is back in some form.

Looks like there's a dedicated reggae stage though.

Yes looks like it, certainly a more diverse mix of styles in SE Corner this year! Excellent.

Chainska Brassika, Craig Charles Special (ohhhh yes!), The Brass Funkeys, Island Records Vintage Remix, Ska Vengers, all sounds unmissable, never been so happy with the Shangri-La line-up!

[Gnomicide]

Had a look on Earache's twitter and the guy that owns them, they've been dropping hints all week and no-one has picked up on it.

Not really surprising in itself but given the number of Glastonbury searches done by people on here and elsewhere I'd have thought someone would've clocked it.

A great Jamaican tradition.

Oh, and I was there...

[MilkyJoe]

Now I really really want a ticket! Looking forward hugely to see what they have come up with and an absolute master stroke if they are using all the rubbish from last year!

I've heard of these... and I want to experience one! Can't wait!

[Junglist1981]

So... Do we think the gas tower is gonna be like this, with a stage inside?

It says "360 degrees of awe-inspiring audio visual action" on the webpage. Ooooo.

as in the Murphys ? one of my favourite bands - they were meant to open the main stage in 97 or 98 (I forgte) but didn't and I never found out why :/

Isn't it funny how we all go to a lovely valley in Somerset - and then proceed to build a run-down tower block, a tube train, a gas works, etc.  Home sick or what?

Yes, they aren't metal but they are more that than the usual booked on other stages. I know Shikari have been booked for other but they are a more recognised, radio friendly etc, maybe that people into them would make more effort to see then there than with a daytime clash, although they would be low down any main stage anyway. We'll see I guess, their dates look like Friday/Sat.

[Wilfko]

I'm sure it will look great, but the whole rubbish/industrial scene seems really depressing to me, I want it to be visually uplifting exciting.. we already have Block 9 and the Unfairground for that darker stylistic Image.

A Tribe Called Red, though-
