Common Announcement

[Badlands]

Was hoping for some Murkage Dave this year expecting him at the Rum Shack, if anywhere. Having seen Kate Tempest and Akala, I know they’ve previous for live performances.

[LSTx]

24 Hr Garage Girls, Eats Everything, Kanine, Richy Ahmed, Seth Troxler were the standouts for me on there, otherwise I was quite underwhelmed by the line-up! Still, though there is so much to see its only one part of the festival.

There is nothing better than randomly stumbling across DJ sets which sound good when you're getting from area to area (hopefully that will be the case around the common  this year)

MONIKA KRUSE THOUGH! ?

Yessir! Didn't spot her on there!

You know, I really fucking hate it when you get random member(s) of Hot Chip billed as "Hot Chip DJ" or even worse "Hot Chip".  It's not going to be Hot Chip, it's going to be Alexis or Owen+Felix playing someone else's tunes, but we're left with this mystery box bollocks.

I pretend to be annoyed about stuff on here sometimes, but this genuinely annoys me.  It's going to be weeks before we find out what that "Hot Chip" billing actually means.

BOSH! This will go down well in the temple.

[dccool]

First glance I like the lineup. Eats, Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones and Monika Kruse are stand outs for me. Chabuddy G will be a guaranteed laugh.

Looking forward to discovering a few more gems when I go through the playlist later.

I really recommend Mollie Collins!

90% certain it will be a DJ set.

Yeah, but who?  That's what annoys me.

DJ Hybrid: Am I right that this is the more recent DnB/ Jungle DJ and not the original prog breaks Hybrid SoundSystem people? 

The original Hybrid played one of my favourite sets ever in The Glade (original place under the trees rave vibe)

Whoever draws the short straw.

I’m guessing there is no chance of Copperdollar ever re-appearing  in The Common? Was a lot of fun and a bit different!

We're running out of areas for him and I'll be very disappointed if he's not there. He's signed to Primary so hopefully that means he'll be on one of the normal stages.

Could be Williams Green.

[Rubber Soldier]

Christ almighty that’s a lot of DnB. As usual.

Also, Mike Skinner, Lowkey and Barney Artist are on Rum Shack.

Ooh, good call on Lowkey! Didn't spot him on first look through. I'll definitely try and find space to see him.

 

[Obiginnaw]

Any ideas why the common have referred to it as their “first” lineup announcement on Twitter? 

[Keithy]

Is it Jam Scones as in rhymes with gone or Jam Scones as in cones?

Few on there for me. Nice to see Grace Savage on there, she's really talented 

[grilladelphia]

Oh damn just looking back over and clocked Channel One Soundsystem  perfek.

[Acid_Haze]

Looks like this might solve the Hot Chip/Jon Hopkins/Chemical Brothers clash for a lot of people

Yep. As with the majority of the other areas of SE corner and Arcadia. I'm a fan of DnB but by the end of the weekend I'm sick to death of it. 

There needs to be a broader booking of different genres for these areas.

Chabuddy G with special guests will be fun I’m sure. 

Hopefully it's the rest of Kurupt FM

[ghostdancer1]

pretty poor lineup, but it's really as expected in the Common.

same names most years, same bland tech-house DJs for the topless bumbag crew (Topping/Ahmed/Troxler/Jones - megayawn). same unimaginative DnB bookings. little variety.

Their Prince tribute was Alexis and Joe.  I've seen all 5 at once DJ under Hot Chip before, but that was when it was them on for a whole night.

Yes, definitely too d&b heavy late night.
