What's this Genosys Sound System for one year only business 🤔👀

[AshwaGandhi]

Think out of the SE areas block 9 has always been the closest to my musical tastes. Can’t wait to see iicon for the first time!

[Brad2434]

This years electronic/dance music is absolutely crazy

It says it clearly in that paragraph. Theyre paying tribute to when the Castlemorton rave happened which imposed the anti raves laws passed in the 90's and drove dance music further into the counter culture. Theyre gonna do some crazy thing I bet for that.

Does that also confirm Overmono and Floorplan are on IICON?

...and the return of outdoor area Iicon, featuring digital projections on a giant human head, described by organisers as “a pseudo-religious monument to the terrifying new realities emerging in our digital, post-truth age”. DJs and live performers include Shygirl, Overmono, Sherelle, Floorplan and Hercules & Love Affair.

Would love that to be the case but I think that’s just a section of acts from Block 9 in general rather than IICON specifically.

Same! - seems a shame for a stage like that not to have heavy hitters on it. 

[payneruk]

Soul Summit = John Summit?

 

[Andy0808 v5]

Hot Chip (DJ set) for the must see pile. So hyped.

[AlexOvd]

Oh damn if that’s accurate then Overmono is gonna be unmissable. They better not stick them on during the day or something so I end up missing them. 

[FloorFiller]

That’s certainly a more commercial group of acts than IICON had last time round.
