The Chemical Brothers 2019

[gearbm95]

Chems are my #1 for the fest this year. Living in the US we very rarely get a chance to see them, they haven't done a proper US tour in over 10 years and have only played 5-6 shows in the last decade over here.

Yeah they seem risky, don’t know what lineup will appear and can see there being setlist issues too. 

Aye and guaranteed crowd and bangers on the other. No brainer. Will have to wait and see what the clashfinder says.

Aren't we expecting Sunday since the info had the Prodigy on Saturday?

Either way there's nothing that can keep me away from this set. 

[WS_Jack_III]

Seen them every time since 07. Going to see them in Nov. Might clash with Cure but Chems sit in that special list of "Must See"

I need a ticket to the festival!!

Diffraction glasses are a festival essential. I buy about 50 and spin em out to people during the festival. Great way to interact with your fellow Glastonauts and makes their nights a whole lot more interesting. Hearts are my favourite

No was lovely weather the year I went.

Oops, himself has just reminded me that we actually saw them at Electric Picnic but weather was shit and it didn't have the same impact for the screens and lights. So we sacked it off. 

2016? Was there. My only time seeing them and I was, spangled, so I’m not missing them this year.

The likelihood of a Streets/Chems clash is a bitter pill though. 

[Homer]

At least if the Chems are sunday, it opens up hot chip in the park for you ?

[dotdash79]

Seeing them in November, so if it clashes with something else I really want to see then I have that for fall back, but seeing them in a massive field at night would be amazing (saw them at support for Oasis at Knebworth in 96)

On the Sunday last year, I wandered around during the day offering rainbow glasses to passers by. The reactions varied from a bemused shrug to "Can I KEEP them???" Funnily enough, the best reactions came from people who were dressed up as rainbows.

That was good fun, but much better was Justice later on. Stood right in front of the mixing desk handing out glasses, watching the crowd turn into Max Headroom. The joyous look on people's faces when they tried the glasses on was incredible.  My only regret is not bringing more. I reckon a hundred or so should do a decent job for the Chems!

I've never seen em so I'm deffo checking them out this time. When I saw the lightshow and the crowd on BBC I knew I'd fucked up that night. 

Haha, same. In fairness, my attempts to pace myself in 2015 had gone badly awry and by the time the Chems took to Other on the Sunday, I was farting around at Arcadia along with other sorry reprobates, trying to turn a pathetic shuffle into some kind of dance move. Occasionally I shuffled to the point I could overlook the Chems and they did look amazing, I just didn't have it in me. Hopefully they're not scheduled for Sunday this year because they wouldn't survive a clash with Janelle.

@stuartbert two hats Was it you who was shouting something out on the Railway line a couple of years ago? Can remember responding to you and you confirming it in here after the festival?

[Matt42]

Their set in 2015 is still my favourite set I’ve ever seen at Glastonbury. 

It needs to be experienced. Shame it is clashing with the Cure though.

That sounds like the kind of thing I would do. Can you remember any more details? Was it something to do with high fives?

When the balls came flying out into the crowd from the visual was brilliant.

 

I started watching The Who on the Pyramid and glad I left for the Chemical brother.
