something leeds and reading don't have...a f**kin' dance arena!

[darrenfearnley]

Okay...so i'll admit the guitar based stuff anounced so far on the bigger stages isn't my cup of tea (and i am a fan of guitar music), as with quite a few others it seems. But there seems to be a good amount of quality acts that are dance/electronic music which really get me exicted...

Timo maas

Slam

Billy Nasty

Japanese popstars

crookers

scratch perverts

Eric Pryz (don't be put off by the 'chart' stuff, he's done some nice underground stuff aswell)

London Elektricity

Paul Woolford

are all set to play (or tbc according to efestivals)

looks like the dance arena is shaping up just nicely this year

Anybody else looking forward to these acts? any other acts/dj you wouldn't mind seeing?

I wouldn't mind seeing

Flying Lotus

Hudson mohawke

Milton Jackon

Those are a few electronic stuff i've heard in the last 12 months or so i won't mind seeing at glasto, i'd love to see some the bristol dubstep boys turn up aswell (appleblim, shackleton, perverist, joker etc), some awesome music coming out of that city !

[daveinafield]

there most certainly is not and the dance stage at reading is only there for the day.

[darrenbha]

I love the fact that its a dance village at Glasto rather than a single stage and that it has such a varied line up. Looking forward to finding some new stuff

[Brizzle]

yeah but reading is very much a band orientated festival, BUT, they still get PRODIGY!

which is something we dont have at glastonbury, so theres little point in this "here's what they dont have"

just saw the Bristol rep....woo!!!!

[dacbo]

lol great thread. love the fact that you said they dont have a dance arena when the dance stage is in fact called the "dance arena"

but yeah. there is more dance at glastonbury...

Yes its the Dance Tent one day and then the Lock Up for two days curated by Mike Davies

For all Glastonbury's plus points it does not have anything like the lock up. This from a festival that prides itself on diversity!

A tent like this at Glastonbury would be much better then some great big Q tent

try the strummerville bandstand (you can find it on youtube)

[daveinafield]

Yes, I've been to the Strummerville bandsatnd

I would reccommend Strummercamp in Manchester at late May Bank Holiday weekend. Absolutely superb little festival and excellent value for money.

[504329lt]

i live in wilmslow bout 20 mins down road so i better go really...does it sell out~?

[daveinafield]

It hasn't for the last couple of years, you can probably pay on the gate. There is a guy there who sells T shirts etc with all profit going to the Strummerville Foundation.

[504329lt]

are you positive you can buy tickets at the gate?

[Ed209]

Glasto always has consistently pretty much the strongest and largest Dance line-up of any festival anywhere. I've always thought that at its heart, especially when the sun goes down, Glasto is a massive dance festival. Its everywhere, in all the nook and crannies, and i f**king love it

lookin forward to scratch perverts, dj yoda and london elektricity so far.

would love to see high contrast added to the list

[theleedslads]

Went to Global Gathering last year, i much preferred the Dance Village at Glasto to the whole of Global Gathering!

Now give me JUSTICE!!!!!!!

Looking forward to Yoda, but still waiting for a BIG dance act to be announced.

Would love to see a Faithless/Chems/Daft Punk/Groove Armada/Underworld/Orbital/Prodigy/Moby/Fatboy Slim/Basement Jaxx type act announced to headline the other stage.
