Welcome, we are all well and truly obsessed with electronica and glastonbury in this thread, so keeping tabs on this should keep you well informed with the goings on at the festival. 

You should check out some Bicep who have self confirmed to be playing, @Matt42 should be able to point you in the direction of where to start there 

Here's some beats from The Black Madonna who had also said she'll be playing this year, you might like it 

 

Ooh thank you! Will have a listen to the Black Madonna. I've already been listening to Bicep, but that's reminded me to listen to them again. Gutted I missed them B2B with Simian Mobile Disco at the Beat Hotel last year so very happy to hear they'll be back this year!

Long time lurker, heading off to my 4th Glastonbury this year (YAY)... and need some more music recommendations. Currently love Bonobo, Maribou State, Four Tet and enjoyed George Fitzgerald's set last year. Any recommendations will be gratefully received!

New Floating points! @bennyhana22

That is fucking staggering.  I like FP on record, but the energy with the live band.

Ok, I now have a new act on my to-see list.

[OBface]

The new FP is mega. Going to take A LOT to make me miss him... Like A LOT.

You have got outstanding taste.  Can't recommend much from the current confirmed acts but they'll be tonnes once Glasto pulls its finger out and announces DJs!

I'm think the one act we have just now that will make me miss him is LCD Soundsystem

It's just off the sale for me, OB. As I said earlier in the thread, only maybe an SR and/or EITS clash will keep me away. And even then it would be a bloody tough decision as I've seen both the others before more than once!

See LCD Soundsystem have never really been on my radar. But was the same with Hot Chip last year and after strong commendation on here I gave them a listen and it turned out to be my set of the festival. So should probably get going!

Beck was on the radio just now - probably the only act that could tear me away. Praying it doesn't happen. But no doubt will.

You should believe the hype, LCD will be the set of the festival this year, just like Hot Chip was last year.

Ah yes the simultaneous excitement and fear of the yet to be announced! It will clash. On the Friday. As usual. Wouldn't expect anything less

This has most likely been discussed already, so I apologise for my laziness and not reading through all the pages, but where would be the best place to go for a bit of drum 'n' bass, dubstep, jungle or garage? I appreciate dubstep is a dying art so it may be hard to find anywhere which will be playing it through the night, but I am just wanting some pointers of where to head after the main acts have finished. I'm in a group who do not appreciate this type of music, so will be heading to listen to this time of music on my own! But I've found at events & festivals that play this type of music, you quickly find people you can be-friend for duration of the night.

I'm a poncey electronica/techno monkey, me, so probs not the best guide. However, I stumbled into London Underground (Block 9) on Saturday night last year around 1-2am and it was wall to wall dubstep. Don't get me wrong, it was feckin' awful, but it was dubstep!!

As BennyH says get yourself in the London Underground, you'll probably love it. You're not going to be short of DnB and Dubstep at Glasto, it's rife

there's normally DnB all over, Arcadia usually has some, the Hell Stage can have a few artists, then Block 9 also has a lot

[OBface]

Felt like DnB was the only thing played at Shangri La at certain points last year. You won't go wanting!

Did you see Patti Smith?

[Tuna]

The venues near leftfield all seem to become entirely drum n bass at night

[ashtaylor1]

Thanks for the tips guys. Now just need to plan where best to camp to get easy access to these arenas. Pennard Hill seems the logical choice, but I've all read on here is that if you turn up past lunch on Wednesday, waive goodbye to any hopes of camping there!

Really looking forward to when they start to announce more of the dance artists. I appreciate there never littered in the initial poster, but looking at the 2015 line-up, a lot of artists soon followed.

I camped in Pylon (right by PGA, opposite side of fest) last year and still spent a lot of time in SE corner, the walk back in the early hours is something I quite enjoy, it's somewhat relaxing and enjoyable to see the sights

Don't know much about dubstep, jungle or garage but regarding drum and bass, there will almost definitely be a Hospitality set (there has been for the last few years) at some point between the fri-sun. And like everyone else has said, the naughty corner is pretty much full of drum and bass anyway.

Haha cheers! So desperate for the lineup now so I can start listening in preparation!

Good stuff. 1st thing I've seen in this thread that's got me excited. Things are hotting up, 60 days to go, the momentum is starting its speedy spiral into the customary pre festival nerve wrangling anticipation of great days to come  .
