Doesn't look like it unless there's the hidden stage somewhere, and reading between the lines with the email they sent out last week it felt very "that's your lot, this one was a fucking nightmare, don't expect anything else".

Ged Devereux Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Idles - Gorillaz the biggest clash for me. Hopefully have Glasto set times by then to see who Idles are up against Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Am I going mad or is the space that was used for the Hidden Stage last time now unused (or available, depending on how you look at it)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfidenceMan Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Based on this, any guesses for Gorillaz guests? Slowthai a banker, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenG92 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Bit torn on the main stage setup. Back to back headliners with 5 minute gaps is cool if you've got an iron bladder and aren't drinking from the bar but otherwise you're gonna have to dip mid music to do either. Probably have to float around further back in the crowd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 If Cupra think anyone is going to refer to the Rayban stage as anything other than the Rayban stage, they're fooling themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostdancer1 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 I know there's always going to be clashes, but there seems to be some really poor scheduling for acts of the same styles that would have the exact same fanbases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about that grass knoll opposite old Primavera that was used for the Arcade Fire secret set and...ah also used in 2018 (not last time, my mistake) for Hidden. Saw Lee Fields there, was nice. Edited May 19 by xxialac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you can get over that hip hop act you like clashing with your hard rock faves as there a bit different but Caribou and Jamie xx, for instance, is a bit mad. National v Warpaint too. Lots more examples above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jannybruck Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 (edited) I presume the splitting of the vote with certain fanbases/genres is so people are moving around the site a bit more mid-act? The more people move around, the more you're more likely to quickly try and grab a beer or food, maybe. I dunno. Some of it is so brutal that there must be some reasoning behind it.

BenG92 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Lingua opening is a pretty harrowing start to the festival but I guess in a sense it's "ripping the plaster off"? Appreciate the darkness then get to partying. Second only to Cave's 2nd gig after losing his son before Gorillaz and Tyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostdancer1 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Kacey Musgraves and Girl in Red are overlapping by 5mins on the Mordor side-by-side stages..... Guessing GiR will have the last 10mins of her set chopped off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if there were any reasoning behind it, I would rather think it’s for crowd management reasons more than anything else (don’t underestimate how important that has become in running a festival nowadays) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst offense is Dinosaur Jr. taking me away from both, although they're playing Manchester later in the year so maybe I don't have to miss out...

TheFullShaboo Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Will wet legs appeal be as big here as it will be at Glasto or any other UK festival? Thinking I’ll likely give them a miss at Glasto because of how rammed the park will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be busy as there's nothing notable up against them and they'll catch a lot of the crowd that are getting on site at that 7pmish time.
