Prydz on Arcadia would be fun, but it's like seeing him at 75% without the accompanying visuals... ...unless my vision of the Arcadia aircraft hangar complete with helicopter DJ booth inside comes to fruition... -

yes but they don't get to pick. Anyway, it will depend on who stands...she won't win if a decent alternative. -

As someone who prefers the music at the festival once the sun has gone down, even I think there's a disparity between electronic music and everything else. There's a fair debate to be had here, I've said it many times over the years but I'm not sure what the solution is, or if it's even a big problem at all? Is it a complaint from a relatively small number of people or is it a bigger issue than the festival seems to give credence to? Losing Williams Green is probably a big blow to those looking for alternatives. I suppose they can't use Woodsies or the Acoustic Tent beyond a certain time, because of the noise issue. I've never been a huge fan of Beat Hotel/San Remo, if they freed up that space for alternatives to electronica. Shangri-La is maybe due a shake-up at some point, if they remodelled that to be a more open area, as opposed to the "walk-through" layout it is currently, they could introduce a little more variety? The issue there is, if it's unpopular, it would push the crowds towards the already busy Silver Hayes, Common, Arcadia, Block 9. You could argue that the fact that these areas are incredibly popular would suggest the festival is giving the people what they want. You'd have thought that the organisers would know what entertainment the vast percentage of attendees are looking for, after hours. It's a similar point to the one I've often made in the headliners thread. As much as there are complaints from time to time, GFL seldom get it wrong. Of course, from a budget perspective, a DJ turning up with a couple of USBs (often playing for a ticket and/or a nominal fee) is going to be considerably cheaper (or easier to accommodate) than a six-piece alt-folk group. That has to be a significant factor in their planning, too. -

Heard from a couple people that she isn't going for it this time. I think she'd probs win tho. Would cause total carnage though. I want an election! -

I think City Hall might rule out the Cole Brothers/John Lewis site, but the other one would make sense being a bit of an entertainment hub already, and nothing competing if they include the O2 site. Better transport access too.
