Hot Chip headlining the Nonce Tent on the Friday providing a decent party option. Optimism in me says they'll put Prodigy on opposite Arctic Monkeys to save us from the Elton clashterfuck

Man I'd be all over Hot Chip in the Nonce Tent. Their October show was cracking. That's a Friday night party right there.

That West Holts set was sublime.

Discord sounds like a scary and complicated world to me. I prefer 90s style Internet.

I remember trying to fix things before the Internet, that was pretty scary and complicated.  Mind you some of the IT stuff I do has a lot of awful advice proffered on supposed help sites.

Sorry, I'm an internet Neanderthal - what is Discord, please?

It's another site/app people use to talk on. There's a lot of crossover between there and here, but they both serve their purposes. DM me if you want more info

Nah, it takes some getting used to  but once you're there it's so much better. a More 21st century style approach to festival discussion 🤓

That's what I was afraid of! I'm old.

Ive never seen them either I'll check them out now and never seen a headliner at west holts

 

If they are there definitely worth a watch. One of those bands that are so much better live than they are on record so even if you don’t like their albums much they are still worth checking out.

Hot Chip subbing in 2010 is one of my all time Glastonbury highlights. First one, just finished uni. Sun going down and an amazing sunset. With a fella I was madly in love with at the time. 

Anyway, has anyone mentioned War on Drugs touring? UK just before but with a Paris date in the middle which might scupper things. Would love to see them.

It’s ok, we’re working on a deal to bring russycarps in as an exclusive poster.

His ultra noughties brand of ironic sexism would see him getting cancelled within about  24 hours.

One thing you can guarantee on eFests, is 90s style internet, chat, humour, music taste and a whole bunch of us who refuse to leave that particular decade

Amen

Hot Chip finish a US and Canada tour in early June..... (and I have just persuaded an American buddy to go see them in Washington)

You simply must take the opportunity to see them at some stage... my favourite live band.

(and with the absolutely marvellous Sarah Jones)

Yeah it’s a top draw option. 

I’d go as far as saying they’re my favourite live act.

Must have seen them 7-8 times and it’s always 10/10. 

Would be a first JP headliner for me too. 

[wro_lap]

I love Hot Chip and have never seen them, but can't help but feel them headlining the tent is a weak booking. They only headlined a stage two festivals ago, and will mean them headlining one three times in six festivals

It’s a fair argument, but when faced with chip shop terrier clogging up The Pyramid, it’s something I’m willing to overlook.

Isn't the Discord server largely just Gucci Piggy / Somto Raphael Unigwe and the lads making flags of dentalplan and mounting forum raids and suchlike larks? Do they actually know anything?

Just to chip in, this is absolutely not the case. 

[squirrelarmy]

Bit of a left field suggestion but Pete Tong is doing his Ibiza classics tour with orchestra in June and July and has the Glasto weekend free. 
 

Certainly a possibility for a slot similar to Hacienda Classical in 2017.

Would be a decent start to the day.
