SK is playing elsewhere in SEC as well

 

Is that confirmed?

[kemosabe]

Would appreciate one of them putting on the SEC/ Glade onto clashfinder.

Because I'm really cool I tend to use a colour coded system to try and go through all the acts and rate the ones I want to see/ avoid etc. So I don't need them in the right order, but just on the system haha

If Sofia Kourtesis, Barry Can't Swim and Confidence Man all clash at 2pm on the Friday afternoon, then that is quite mad.

 

Always seems to be Friday afternoon for the epic clashes.  I seem to have a brain-exploding 3 or 4 way clash every year on the Friday.

Pointless until the stage splits are announced

You've completely ignored most of my message like haha. I'm just using clash finder to find new music, more then actually working out who i'm going to see ect.

I am also team colour-code. Red for avoid, blue for interested, green for must-see, lol. And I'm not even going! I find it such a useful tool for finding new music.

It's actually quite quick and easy as he has scripts written to use the data sheet from the GF website lineup page - hence it all happens quite fats.

I do them for other festivals and have spreadsheets all set up so it does not take that long.

 

Oh right, is he not the guy who came up with the whole website then? *slowly pulls OBE away*

[MJP]

Yeah, whatever you do when the lineup is out, don't start filling in the clashfinder as he does it almost instantly when he has a moment of free time.

 

(I filled out a load of stages last year for it to lock and have complete stage splits in the blink of an eye)

I'm also really cool, so I use a spreadsheet to note down my ratings (must-sees, nice-to-sees and can see at a less clashy festival so don't prioritise seeing at glasto), then put them in the clashfinder once halvin's got all the timings in there.

What kind of ratings are we talking here?

 

Marks out of 5 or 10? Not out of 6, surely? Percentages? Stars?!?!

Red = Skip

Purple =  1 - Wouldn't walk away if I were having a good time and nothing else critical

Blue/Purple = 2

Blue = 3

Green/Blue = 4

Green = 5 - Can't miss.

And Olivia Dean - basically my top under card acts pitched up against each other

Are you highlighting every single act? That’s a mission and a half surely 

[giantkatestacks]

My Saturday evening is a clusterfck with Little Simz, Black Pumas and the Breeders overlapping.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Sofia K opening WH so no clash there.

Trying to keep up, but yeah.
I recognize that I'm more than a bit obsessive.

But, I can also carry over repeat acts from last year.

Haha, normally just 1 = deffo, 2 = maybe, 3 = they're at victorious so don't need to see (saves me having to cross-reference multiple clashfinders at the fest).

 

Then I import my husband's clashfinder highlights, which are usually 1 = deffo, 2 = probably, 3 = maybe, so I end up with a 6 colour system.

She had it on her own page - it is somewhere in the Self confirmations page too

On that I really have no idea - maybe they are and an OBE should they want one is deserved.

Or at least a nice sausage roll, or something.

The other one's likely to be a DJ set though, isn't it?

This is next level colour-coding. It's similar to mine though. I just use blue for 'wouldn't walk away if it was fun' to 'would be interested if nothing else was on'. 

 

I'd be curious what your final Clashfinder is like come June, esp as we had some crossover last year!

Mmmm. Crossreferencing against another festival and against your partners.

 

You've left colour-coding world and gone into the Clashfinder-multiverse.

I am! Its basically me systematically going through and making sure I've listened to everything/ given it a go. Tend to do one day of one stage a day really.

 

I have learnt so many bands from Glastonbury clashfinder over the years. Obviously it takes a long time, and sometimes I won't finish before the festival tbf
