You can see his point to be fair. The year time they played Arcadia was a DJ set, not live.

Yeah, I can see his point. It wasn't a serious boo tbh as, as much as I would love it to happen, I was aware it was unlikely.

What do you reckon the chances of them both playing over the weekend is though? Bearing in mind both their histories in the dance/electronic music side of the festival?

Underworld unlikely. Orbital probably. But not on IICON.

Is this based on any knowledge or information, or is it just speculation? I'd love to have both there this year, only caught the last 20 mins of Underworld's set last time they were there 'cos one of our group dragged us to see Disclosure, who were shite.

Orbital have a better storied and longer relationship with the festival than Underworld (not that they haven’t played a few times before) - wasn’t it 17 years between appearances for the latter before 2016?

I was surprised Orbital didn’t play last year -  only reason why they didn’t, I suspect,  was that they were being held back for the 50th.

With today’s info regarding WH and Iicon, I reckon now they’ll be a JP headliner. Or at a push, a Park headliner..although if the Bicep info is true, I doubt there will be 2 dance acts headlining there.

What was the info regarding WH?

Anyway, I’m pretty sure we had info a long time ago that Orbital were gonna be headlining John Peel one night so I’ll stick with that, and I’d hazard a guess that they’ll be on the Sunday night.

That the WH headliners were Thom Yorke, Kano and The Isley Brothers

It’s based on knowledge I’d have said it puts the idea of it thoroughly to bed.

Was a pipe dream for me, I won’t end up seeing them now. My headliners set in stone. 

Can’t believe you’re that committed, that early, Tommy!

Impressive. Mental, but impressive!

:)

I highly recommend the Orbital Glastonbury DVD for those who haven't seen it. Covers 94-04 and is an absolute treat. Personally I think their live shows have waned a bit since the second comeback, so I'm not sure that I would go for them as a headliner this year. Can see them doing JP and not getting a great crowd, they aren't as big a draw as they used to be sadly.

I said to their tour manager that i was hoping for West Holts and he said "we were and for Groove Armada but so many people want to play for the 50th" 

 

I think he said Groove are in the Glade.

Surely not, that would be ridiculous

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
