Has pulled out of his Leftfield set but is still playing JP.

The Blinders have replaced him

[gordong]

Phew, panicked when I read that. How early are people gonna head to his JP set? It’s gonna be rammed. 

[bombfrog]

Any idea why?

He pulled out of APE a while back due to illness.  So presumably feels it’s too much to do both days 

[bombfrog]

Oh dear, I hope he's OK.

[Pateen]

Bumber, really disappointed about this. Dont fancy Liam Gallagher instead

[danbailey80]

For fucks sake. I can't make John Peel as I'm teaching!

[danbailey80]

The only set across the whole weekend I was really really excited about. Absolutely gutted.

Top tip when JP is busy is to head to the north side. Most people come in from the south (Silver Hayes/Beat Hotel) direction so it is always much quieter on that north side.

Almost certainly one of the biggest, if not the biggest JP crowds of the festival. It is normally the afternoon/early evening slots that get the biggest JP crowds rather than the headliners.

Thanks mate! This is my first year so pretty clueless about the whole thing. Yeah, I’m thinking of heading there like an hour early to make sure I’m in the tent.

This!! Walked in from this side coming from camp in Lime Kiln Ground for Dua Lipa in 2017 and we ended up really surprisingly close to the stage before her set began.

[Mackem]

I dont think he’s doing JP either. Vocal issues. 

[justperfect]

[danbailey80]

Yep he's not playing at all now. Such a shame but health most important. 

Is it some kind of emotional/ physical exhaustion?

[snailcheeks]

Who do we think will replace him? Another one on my list scored off...

[sisco]

Yep, that’s annoying 

[dingbat2]

Real shame this, I was looking forward to catching him more than anyone this weekend, I really thought he would be the highlight. Never mind, hope he gets better soon, he is a real talent and sure we will catch him next year

[Joeyjarmangtf]

Gutted about this! Bet that tent would have been rammed!

Agree. Deadboys would have been a huge moment and so many other tunes. JP would have been an incredible atmosphere. Not many acts that get such excitement before an album is released.

Was hoping for a Royal Blood (2014??) kind of atmosphere. Can’t wait for the album though. 

[Simpo]

I'd say it's ripe to have The Big Moon on, especially if they are doing William's Green slot tomorrow.

[MJP]

Fuck.

Gerry will get the biggest crowd in there. Shame Sam's not playing had him on my list
