Glitterbox needs a day or 2 takeover at the one of the small stages. Like what elrow did in 2017 would be class

Problem with Glitterbox is it’s the same 3 DJs on rotation and has been for years, same goes with Defected.

3 djs is abit extreme hahah. But they keep getting bigger and bigger each year with the sell out shows they keep having. Like their own Croatia festival sold out in its quickest time yet with the same sort of line ups with a few welcome new additions and more upcoming DJs. 
 

Wouldn’t really call it a problem to be fair

Ha, extreme it may be, but I was definitely put off the London events after seeing Dimitri From Paris, Bob Sinclair and The Shapeshifters more than a million times. 
 

Looks like they may however be branching out a bit, had Eats Everything at the NYD gig by the looks of things. Suppose they need to keep that disco element as that’s what’s made it so popular, but need to offset the risk of people getting bored with very same-y lineups.

It would be good I suppose if they got djs on the line up who play disco only sets, for example I remember in ibiza Patrick topping played a disco set and it went down really well same with skream aswell

Carl Cox and Eric Powell’s Mobile Disco

Folamour

[Wilfko]

Folamour is a must I reckon, going to have to miss some of Macca to get in on the action?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'll be heading there post Macca, but not going to tear myself away from the fucking Abbey Road medley.  The bigger issue is he's followed by Fatboy Slim so gonna be rammoed regardless.

Hey lovely, Shaka Loves You are pretty great, playing 3 times but clash with someone else I really want to see every time x

I'm watching a disco documentary on PBS which reminded me of this topic.

and I wanted to share a description of disco from the programme. Talking about the euphoric aspect they said "disco is secular gospel music "

I thought that nailed it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Nice!

 

In terms of this year, looking pretty good for both Dua Lipa and Chaka Khan to be in the offing...

Chances of Jessie Ware being back again must be high as well.

[CaledonianGonzo]

She's got the GSH I think....?

It's pretty soon to return, but the new album slaps and I could easily see her stepping up to WH level.

Yep I don't think the quick return is as big a deal if there's new material too.

@adequate8 - is that the Saturday night WH headliner?

[Neil]

There was a documentary on PBS this week which featured disco duck and I've had it as earworm ever since.

[Neil]

i happened to see a documentary about the backlash to disco the other day, which included this annoyance and its been my earworm ever since. 😞
