6 music festival and getting hyped for the big G

[stuartbert two hats]

Listening to Jonny Hophop at the moment and really enjoying the tweaks to Open Eye Signal. He's bound to be involved in a catastrophic clash though though!

Next up Hot Chip - might get to hear a new song or two.

Watching the IDLES set on iplayer now, they don't need any bigging up round here like but it's worth a go.

Wasn’t going to bother with it but gave in and they looked superb. Didn’t want to spoil myself for Wednesday but more hyped up for it now.

Did they really only give him 30mins at the actual thing? Cause that’s how long his set is on iPlayer.

He's my first clash if he's up against Hot Chip in June.

Watched quite a bit on Iplayer over the weekend - Idles, Little Simz and Villagers were absolutely superb!

Love watching stuff like this in the build up to Glastonbury.

Still buzzing from Friday night

Same. I'm assuming that he'll be headlining the JP tent which is just that little bit too far to realistically catch a decent chunk of both sets.

As much as I loved Hot Chip the last time they were there, Jon Hopkins is at the top of my must see list this year

I'd rather see him headline W Holts, which might leave some room for seeing both if there's not too much overlap.

Agree 100% though it looks like The Wu Tang Clan are dashing that dream this year

[gigpusher]

So far only watched Little Simz on the iPlayer but she was great. Going to catch up with them this week. Hopefully some sets will help me decide with some clashes.

Oh   I've not been keeping up with the stage positioning.

On the other hand JPT has the same soundsystem as W Holts

Would love Ex:Re to pop up on the farm somewhere.

Really?  well that makes up for it being in an awkward place.

Though nothing has been confirmed regarding what stage JH will be on, so there's always the slim chance that he'll be doing something with the new Arcadia.  I just hope that he isn't in Silver Hayes, of all the places in Glastonbury, it's my least loved.

Yep, the Martin Audio MLA Compact, the mini version of the Pyramid setup, also used in Genosys.  Much more tech info here: https://www.tpimagazine.com/glastonbury-2016-the-highlights/

I've only seen a few bits so far (apart from Mik at the Fringe), The Good, The Bad & The Queen were enjoyable enough, Damon said his voice had gone but it didn't seem that much worse than normal. I thought I might like Hot Chip as I do like the one song of theirs that I'd previously heard but I thought they were dreadful.  Must check out Idles later.

Watching these back now, I think the bands would of had livelier crowds at a cemetery...to the point at which slowthai didn’t finish his set...

rant over the sets I’ve watched so far are all awmazing... Especially the  little sims set wow!

Plus his lights/visuals will be better in the JPT. Definite contender for my Saturday night headliner if true.

[bombfrog]

Just watched Little Simz, Hot Chip, Jungle and Jon Hopkins. Now I want to see all of them and they're all going to clash

[priest17]

That Fontaines DC set is rad. Seeing them in a couple of weeks, the crowds surely gonna be better than that.
