The main issue was that they wanted to keep the bottom 20.4m of crane (what was on the webcam) up all year around for 4 years to save them taking it down and putting it up.

There's never been any issue with it being at festivals subsuquent to the 2019 festival, so long as it's built and taken down in the 28 days permitted development in connection with the festival, as permitted with the General Permitted Development Order 2015 (GPDO).

Just means they have 1.5 weeks pre-festival to put it up, 1 week of the festival and 1.5 weeks post festival to remove. This means more money is needed on staff to rig/de-rig each year (which was one of their points when they applied for planning the second time).

Yeah, I sort of knew that. I think what I had thought was that for 2020, specifically, it would stay there, thus pretty much guaranteeing the crane for at least that year. If the pandemic has meant that the base still hasn't been moved, I wonder if they'll just go with the crane again, as if it was 2020 and the last two years of madness never happened, even if they bin it off after that for the reasons you mention.

Creamfields South line-up, would love some names from here - pretty spectacular imo

'Gold VIP Arena'. 

Please tell me this is *not* an area of the event into which you can go only if you've shelled out a small fortune for a pointless lanyard and a bar the great unwashed cannot go to? The absolute antithesis of everything that a festival should be about, for me. The haves and the haves not. Line up? Yeah, s'alright! No-one really on there that I would spot and go WOAH! Amazing booking. You can catch most of these artists relatively easily/frequently. I guess that is the scene a bit, atm. If the pandemic has done one thing to the dance genres, it's stifled the rise of newer artists who have missed two years of proper profile-building, so the established big names are a big pull as we emerge back onto dancefloors, I guess. Lineups do seem really pretty samey atm. Dimensions the one to stand apart for me.

HUUUUGE improvement on last year considering the most I could flog my weekend ticket for was £15. My mate will be happy Chaos in the CBD are active this summer - they're the one act he wants to see at Glasto! Fingers crossed Bicep are headlining a stage.

Oh thats rubbish, i have enjoyed the main APE festival both times i’ve been

Edited - I may have misread your tone - sorry.

 

it is a shame, I chose it over lost village because we’d already had tickets bought for it, was a gutter (even if we saw some good sets). APE proper the day before was even worse, insane amount of people just talking through sets, whcih given the sound problems was problematic.

Quite a few festivals do this generally its tiny acts i’ve never seen anyone particularly big in these areas. Rubbish nonetheless

It's not imminent but there are armfuls of probables and definites spilling out on these recent line-ups and named in people's posts. Some were even set to be IICONic in 2020.

and Pangea ? it will still exist for this year at least ? 

[Obiginnaw]

Just finished the new Mixmaster 2022 from Jackmaster. I can't lie I would love to see him there this year at some point. Phenomenal DJ, he's been getting some gigs here or there but unsure if he'd be booked still for glasto

[RB85]

I havent been to Glasto for many years, where's the best place to find late night techno and house?

Bloc9 has the best bookings and venues. Easy.

Glade and Pangea also good options, but have a bit more range in the type of genres they cater for.

Dance System's in. Self-confirmed as part of his album announce – so I'm not letting anything out prematurely!

One half of Night Slugs, now making big ravey house pumpers. Will smash [redacted]

Really like this, any idea where he's set to play?

Everyone here knows my tastes in dance music.

Gotta say, most of this is absolutely banging.

Just had it on very good authority that one of my current favourite producer/DJs will not only "100%" be at Glastonbury but they're actually "curating an area". Super exciting.

Makes sense. I suppose it's logical.

Ridiculously small font for a lineup poster.

And reminder to anyone in need that tickets go back on sale tomorrow for anyone in need.
Presale link emails dropping at 8:50 for 9AM presale. General Release at 10AM.

Anyone got any idea what's going to replace the Beat Hotel? Just a thought as I dunno where someone like Move D would fit in these days. And I do not like Silver Hayes so don't say there cheers 

[Memory Man]

I think its gonna be in the same general vicinity and run by the same people just a new concept
