My most upsetting clash at the moment is Haii B2B Ki/Ki Vs Bicep Vs Max Cooper. Baby Queen clashing with Avril is a heartbreaker too.

If it helps...that Max Cooper set is an ambient set and will be nothing like his usual, live IDM sets. There has been a bit about suggesting the Bicep Chroma A/V set is a bit meh or only 'ok'. Of course, on IICON, it could be quite a moment. However, HAAi and KI/KI have individually played two of my favourite sets on the Farm, so putting them together on a brand new Arcadia installation is a no-brainer for me!

What will you be listening to on the headphones? 

Bit of Chas and Dave. Bit of Brian Eno. Mostly panpipe rock classics (the double album).

[CaledonianGonzo]

Seeing a lot of anticipation for the Haai / KIKI b2b. What sort of tuneage do we reckon is likely?  Any sample sets?

First post on here ever, despite being a reader for yyeeeaaarrrssss (thank you all for your valuable tips over that time!).

 

My tuppence worth - it isn't packed with must-sees or bucket-list acts this year but quite honestly I am all for it. Enough quality to look forward to and so much more time to explore, wander, be distracted....and we all know those are some of the best times....

 

Oh and what happened to Faithless "opening the festival" Thursday with a dangerously crowd-busting live set!?

they moved them quite sensibly . welcome 🙂 

[Mich1268]

Anyone else do what I used to do in the 80s as a kid with the Radio Times at Christmas and circle their must sees? It's just me isn't it......

Yes agreed. Looks like a few interesting options later on. Quite fancy An Dannsa Dub on Sat night who seem like they have a ceilidh like vibe. Something different. 

Absolute legend for sharing this. Had no idea who they were and would have never picked them out of the lineup to check out, but "ceilidh like vibe" got me to listen to a couple of tracks on Spotify and this seems absolutely perfect for 1am Saturday night!

Good God - haven't you heard of highlighter pens? 😃

I expect it to be full on, peak time techno at high 130s-140bpm. KI/KI has a YT set that will give you a good idea: look for 5hrs of Acid.

You can only be in one place at a time. In a way, the overall lineup doesn't matter. What matters is whether you have something you want to see at any given moments with enough gaps to either wander or get something to eat or get some sleep. It means you have a good weekend ahead of you.

 

I've had years where I couldn't grab food for running around and others where everything is clumped at one end on lineups that were 'great' across the board but neither festival experience was as great as a well paced weekend.

 

Sure, saying so is valid if you're not happy but if you have something to do at any given moment, what does it really matter?

[Drew3232]

I can't remember a worse line-up. And I was there in 1822 when Beethoven's piano was so badly out of tune stray cats showed up from miles away thinking it was a mating call.

 

I will be making my displeasure known by flying over the site all weekend in a little two-seater aeroplane, pulling a banner which reads "if this line-up was an actual police line-up they would all deserve prison time" with actual excrement spraying out of the exhaust.

To be fair, "having something to do" encompasses the full gamut to seeing a once in a lifetime show like the Stones or Reg all the way to wolfing down a growler whilst you watch the New York Brass Band for 5 minutes whilst your pal is in the Longcross.

That weather. Please no. Someone has stolen all those annoying flags off the flagpoles though 🙊

Acid does seem to be le mot juste

No worries! I thought the same. Only just discovered them too.

Nothing for me on the Pyramid this year at all.  Absolutely stacked everywhere else though and I'm buzzing to get back on the fields.

Yep I keep trying to think of the names I have heard mentioned and where they will end up. I assume Nadine Shah and The Staves will end up on there.

 

Seems not

Yep I had a look for her when the line up dropped and noticed she wasn't there. A shame saw her on the latest tour and she was immense.

I quite fancied the ambient set and Bicep Chroma fills me full of FOMO, HAAi and KI/KI are winning the tussle for now but I'll no doubt flip flop a bunch over the next few weeks.

EDIT - ignore me, seen it. Has the Greenpeace stage released their lineup yet? I can't see it, now wondering if it's even going to be there. I like that tree stage
