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. 

Was just saying this to a mate. If they're on at like 2/3am it would be wild.

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.

I see, thanks!

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

It is - and the AV show sounds incredible presumably that would be the opening thing once it is dark? I can’t remember when it was on in 2019.

So last time I went I was gutted to miss some acts I really wanted to see because I was queuing - If one wanted to see Hot Chip for example what do we reckon is the acceptable arrival time to actually get in? one hour before?

It won’t be Hot Chip it’ll be one of them DJing.

Genuine question coming from someone who has no knowledge of the genres… is their a booking big enough to fill Iicon in there? It’s a huge old space but was rarely busy in 2019.

Not necessarily a bad thing mind but it’s odd they make such a big area compared to the other SE places.

Sherelle, Overmono & LSDXOXO will pull decent crowds in I reckon.

Overmono will be busy.

Am I understanding it correctly that Genosys soundsystem will be different to the old Genosys in terms of the stage itself? The article says from a vintage coach, so does that mean the Genosys of old won’t be there?

that's why there's more fade haircuts and bum bags at GF each year 😂

Oh give over. It’s hardly an Elrow lineup is it. And don’t be so judgmental.

Could be this (@2:15):

Do we think the Genosys Soundsystem means the actual Genosys structure is being replaced by something more resembling their Mobile Soundsystem that Gideon and the guys use for the Trafalgar Square protests? Would be a shame to lose that madness of a stage and light show but the new name threw me a bit.

 

ignore - just seen it’s been asked. We shall see

I saw someone mention it could be the bus they used in the live at worthy farm show where honey Dijon and roisin Murphy played. 
 

Really disappointing if so as Genosys is one of my favourite stages. Guess this is one of the signs of budgets being tighter after covid, although I don’t understand why having the normal Genosys stage would cost much given it already exists so surely just needs to be set up? I could be massively missing the point here so if anyone could explain to me why it would be expensive to install the usual Genosys I’m all ears!

hoping we get both, would be a shame to see genosys in its 'classic' edition have to go!
