Ah well, at least I won't be getting much FOMO over Arcadia this year 🤷🏼‍♀️ I will be at Shy FX but not much otherwise to draw me there this year

Guess the World Cup didn't do much to dent their relationship with the festival.

Do we know if its going to be the full spider or the mini version?

[StevieGed]

Another dud line up for me taste wise. Really, really hoping the Glade pulls it out the bag now. 

[TGCarr]

Skepta will be special after seeing a few videos this week.

 

but that’s an atrocious line up 

[Skip997]

Ruffneck Ting featuring Dazee is the one

[Jon F]

was hoping the arcadia show with dancers etc. would be back as never got to see it back in the day, but doesn't look like it's returning based on that.

[nikkic]

@bennyhana22VTSS on the spider??

Ooof 

[t0paz]

@Skip997 There’s Dazee’s DJ set for you.

Edit: didn’t see you’d already spotted it

It doesn't - but last year there were floating balloon acrobatic things that were very impressive.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Floating Points- Daphni would be my pick, but I doubt I'll be there.

[nikkic]

Plenty on there to keep me going 

Chems
Sherelle
VTSS
DJ Q b2b Yung Singh 
Elkka
Floating Points b2b Daphni 
Shy FX 

Very very good

[GmasterWomble]

Some good names on there, Chemical brothers will be a huge draw but overall definitely lacking compared to last year. At least it won't be as rammed as it was.

[CaledonianGonzo]

D@b down Aphex Twin though I guess.

Maybe it's intentional.

Except that the Chems will be rammo, of course 

[-TLR-]

only Dubkasm on there for me (actually the only act i've even heard of).

will it be the full size spider this year? dont know if this was even the case or not but to me it felt like the spider was like 2/3 its usual size last year?

anyways... i always seem to end up having one accidental great night there so... whatever!

[Xeph1995]

Nothing of worthwhile for me, but I never end up going to Arcadia anyway. 

[Joey01]

Are The Chem Brothers likely to do a live set anywhere or is this their lot this year?

[leej7]

FP and Elkka the slim picks from me, not loads to write home about this year though. SH really looking like the stand out….

[CaledonianGonzo]

That will be it I expect. Certainly no live show.

There's only one spider.  The difference is whether it's got the robotic arms attached to it or not. 

[BambooShanks]

Not too bad at all. There's a few things I wouldn't mind catching, clash dependant.

Flo po b2b Daphni, Shy fx, sherelle and vtss could be fun.  

 

[hjwright]

Skepta and skream b2b ipc for me, nothing much else there for me.

disappointing year for djs but I’ll still have a blast so who gives a fook?

starting to get worried about the lack of Carl cox on any lineup - hopefully glade comes through for a Saturday disco set.

[t0paz]

I wonder if there are any TBAs? If this is to cover the Spider and the Bug, assuming the Bug is still a stage in its own right, this seems a bit light on acts?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Cba checking but didn't the Shangri-la La poster mention that the bug was there (for some of the time.....?)
