Clashfinder 2009

[Bort]

I cant get my head around putting bat for lashes and ladyhawke on at the same time (best case scenario is ladyhawke are on a bit later, be easier if she clashed with Bon Iver who i can go see the day before).

surely those two bands have a similar audience? Other than that the first draft tentative schedule looks alright. Friday is slightly thin on good bands maybe.

halvin you're a godsend!!!

thank youuu!

clashfinder 2008 was the best thing ever

[Vacant0]

With bits of the lineup missing, a fair bit of it looks like its going to be not quite accurate - but wow, really good effort on this - nice one!

Highly amused that Amadou and Mariam - Yeah Yeah Yeahs clash has now become a Tom Jones - Yeah Yeah Yeahs clash - at least that settles it, Tom Jones for me

[Bort]

Wait, Emmy the Great conflicting with Priscilla Ahn? That is bullshit!

is there any chance I would make it back to London in time for the show at The Pigalle Club? Keep in mind I have to get there, check into a hostel, shower, change, etc beforehand.

[Kowalski]

Looks really good, but how accurate are the times?

Japanese Popstars claim they're playing at 15:30, not 18:00.

Yeah, totally same audience, but then again, they scheduled two old guy legends on guitar flying solo at exactly the same time. I guess these awful clashes are a method of crowd control?

[norainplease]

Halvin = Legend!!!

You sir are a star and a cold one coming your way at the Cider bus dude!!

[abu hamster]

I am quite sure that the Rolfster is on at 12 and there will be other acts on the Jazz Stage.

Great work and so swift.

I think this thread should be pinned!

Halvin you are a legend

The first draft of the clashfinder is here: http://www.halvin.co.uk/pages/clashfinder09/

There are a lot of question marks in the dance stages, which I expect is because they've one person playing several times during the day. When I get the chance I'll have a look at last year's and see if I can guess the pattern.

Cheers Halvin, super work as always!

& clash city as always! bring it on!

[ukslim]

I was laughing at all the people demanding the clashfinder too quickly.

But wow Halvin, you delivered. Amazing work.

Now I have to resist spending all day staring at it.

[DaveMac]

Thanks Halvin excellent work !

Glastonbury Festivals should employ your services officially

Keep up the good work !

[RossTC]

Nice one, Halvin

King Halvin

*takes of his crown*

[ross1]

Exactly what I've been saying all along.

For example, look at what is regarded as the Big Clash... Prodigy vs Blur.

If you look at the poll on the forum, people are pretty much 50/50 split on who they're going to go see.

It's a genius piece of planning.

[sweaver]

Halvin, you are an absolute star once again - I shall enjoy looking at this today xxx

[Bort]

How early does one need to arrive at a stage (not the Pyramid) to get a good spot up front? For example, the John Peel or Queens Head.

nice one

but please be wrong about will young and madness

[Kowalski]

I'm sure that's provisional (as is Halvin's clash finder) - unless you're headlining how likely are you to know exactly when you're on 2/3 months before the festival? The later the better if I want to get from spinal tap to japanese popstars!

And cheers Halvin!

[THEBOILERMAN]

HALVIN, YOU SIR ARE A STAR.

[Bort]

It won't get you right to the front, but arriving just before the band on before finish will usually get you a decent spot.

I don't personally think it's worth putting in any more effort than that, don't wanna spend any time at Glasto watching a band I don't wanna see.

[Messiah Jason]

Nice one mysterious internet stranger! No major clashes for me as it stands too
