It’s the official lineup poster … that’s why it has its own thread 🧵

Will they have sorted the sound out this time?

The stuff I've seen there before has often been a mess because the sounds been so shite.

 

Nina Kraviz, Hopkins, Four Ten are too good to be wasted on that weird stage tbh

I hope so, there is normally too much on for me to commit getting there early enough to get a good spot. That normally results in us wondering up, looking at it for 5 minutes, chatting amongst ourselves because you can barely hear it, then going elsewhere.

👍

Apologies for the laziness but had a quick Google and couldn’t see anything. 

Does this stage run in the early AM? Or do the headliners run in parallel with the normal stages?

I’ve never seen an act for more than 10 minutes for this very reason. Going by your post I assume we basically need to be under the spider for it to sound good?

Runs into the AM. I’m sure it’s normally until 3 or 4, but someone can give you more accurate times.

Thank you! I’m up for a 3am Calvin Harris but not at the expense of a lot else. 😄

ok...I haven't been to Glastonbury for years...and I'm just a boring old fart who will be there with family and really don't belong anyway...but last time I was there there was this queueing system to get into arcadia like you were in an airport or something...unless that was a dream...and once we got in it was just unpleasantly busy...is that how it is?

I've been right under it before and still sounds bad.

Sorry to be negative on here but its such a gimmicky waste of space and an actual dance stage with proper sound would be so much better. Especially with that great line up they've pulled together

I just checked from 2019 and the final sets finished at 3am on Friday and Saturday, 2:30am on Sunday.

Ideally yes and then it sounds great, it’s still good if you’re close enough without being literally underneath, but much further out and the sound degrades badly.

When did you last see her ? I’d expect much better now … and I remover the later versions being much better

From recollection the sound at Pangaea was pretty good. They had repeaters (not sure of the technical term) in a huge circle all the way around the crane alongside the flame towers.

Sound in 2019 was definitely better. You’d imagine they’d surely bring the same system along with the outer ring of speakers.

Yeah I camp in Park Home Ground and can confirm it’s all wrapped up by 3, makes it a good place to stay because when you come back things are relatively quiet. 
 

Calvin Harris won’t be on 2am though, more like 11-midnight sorta time 

[Winslow Leach]

Kinda hope Hopkins and Four Tet are DJ sets tbh...

You’re thinking of the South East Corner, I reckon.

10pm-3am with biggest about midnight. Although looking at that 2019 lineup it's hard to figure out who the top billed acts would be.

Mad to think it's been half a decade since the spider was last there.

No other festival on the planet could get Calvin Harris to headline their what like 4th biggest stage (and very few even second stage, if any?). Hope this leads the way in the future for other huge Arcadia bookings as even if it is just calvin harris to a lot of us, its one of the most impressive bookings i've ever seen.

oh...maybe. I have no idea, I think it was 2010. There were some serious crowd controls going on because of maybe some issues the year before.

[squirrelarmy]

I’m intrigued to know who the very special guests are. I know Chemical Brothers were rumoured back when we thought it would be Pangea. Are they still in the running to appear?

Them and Orbital. Presumably Amelie Lens will be one as she was on the Coxgate poster.
