Care to elaborate on that to a first timer? It was probably the lineup I was looking forward to the most in terms of DJs based on past lineups, but have read a few similar comments now in various threads.

It’s full of people who like to stand around and be seen whilst taking far too much coke, only place I’ve ever felt a slightly unfriendly vibe at Glastonbury (I have also once had a great Thursday  afternoon in there when it was the Beat Hotel)

Oh we're going on a journey to space on Sunday 💫

if anyone's interested, Optimo are back on the farm - two sets apparently ( Friday and Saturday), unsure where though 

stonebridge a very safe bet (may have heard it somewhere, can't remember!)

I'd expect orbital's setlist to be similar to their drumsheds show in november

@maelzoidmade this with the help of Morgan Freeman. Hope it’s helpful. Script by @The Nal (edit- now added)
 

The Nal: Beat Hotel/San Remo still created/creates a tacky pissed up in the central square in Torremolinos type vibe. Outside anyway. Packs of wannabe Love Island goblins stood on the sign outside high on cheap coke wearing looky looky ray bans saying dodgy sh*t to women with a slight aggression towards any blokes they dont know who walk by. All the while creating piles of litter.

It's @The Nal

They have some decent djs, sell nice cocktails and it's ok to dance inside. Certainly has a different vibe to other places, like anywhere go in enjoy or leave.

 

Saw security/police bobbing around last time i was on the farm but they were probably looking for someone in particular. 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

I've always found Beat Hotel and San Remo a touch moody at times. Never aggy, just a bit moody. Could be the drug of choice, could be the attitude of the clientele. Feels like many of the experiences I've had in some London clubs over the years. Still enjoyable but not as friendly an atmosphere as elsewhere.

 

But it's nothing like Love Bullets was that one year. The only time I've ever seen a full scale police raid at Glastonbury, across an entire field. That area was awful. It even managed to make the Elrow takeover feel dark.

For the Dar Disku fans amongst you, they're no longer playing on the Arrivals Stage at Shangri-La, but they are playing elsewhere "more than once"

Thanks now edited

I didn't go to the festival last year but I remember seeing a spreadsheet here with genres, links to key sets, etc - just wondering if there's anything similar this year as I actually have a ticket?

 

10 years ago I was a student and had plenty of time to keep up with current artists, releases, etc and knew a hefty amount of the names on the lineup. Now, not so much, so could do with some research material!

😄 Brilliant. Or at least it would be brilliant if it wasn't delivering news I didn't want to get. Was banking on this being a stage I'd spend a lot of time at but not sure I'll fit in by the sounds of the crowd.

For me he's a real DJ's DJ. Loves the craft of creating a set and as a producer he has made some fantastic stuff. 

His set with Richard Fearless on Glade last year was also great, though it suffered a little bit from being on the Thursday when less was going on - so there were a lot of people just there so that they were somewhere. But their selections were wonderful. 

After foolishly leaving his LH set early, as lamented above, I'll be looking to see him again this year. Hope he's playing elsewhere over the weekend too, as the sound on the new big Glade is, for me, only 'ok'.

AVERY

I reckon with Eric Prydz being in Cardiff on the Saturday there is a chance he does Levels or something over the weekend.

I'm Team @GrumpyRaver!

 

I think Daniel Avery is the only must-see for me, though (a) I'd forego that if he was playing somewhere else and (b) if Effy gets a good slot then she could be really good through the Glade Dome rig.

Hmmm. It's a funny old place, for me. I went to the Beat Hotel only a couple of times, in the daytime, and it was...odd. I told myself that it's just not for me and I wouldn't be bothering it again. 

Then, in 2022, I left my entire gang watching McCartney as I legged it to San Remo to make sure I was there for the start of Jon Hopkins. I'm glad I went. Because it confirmed for me beyond all possible doubt that I will never go in there again!! 

1. It's too light, at night. I don't know what kind of vibe they're trying to create in there, but it's not the sort of club atmosphere that this raver likes. 
2. The people were farkin' horrible! The vast majority did not seem to be there to dance, but were just there to be somewhere. It was the most discourteous crowd I've ever been in, with people turning around and whacking you with their backpacks, with zero awareness or consideration for anyone around them. There was SO much talking, you could barely hear JH over the mediocre sound system. 
 

As @Supernintendo Chalmers suggested, defo the wrong type/quality of drugs in there! 
 

I'm sure it's more a me issue than necessarily the place, but twice bitten, twice shy for me. Saying all of that, I quite like all the people crowded on the structure outside as I walk to and from Woodsies in the daytime!
