Shangri La

[Nduja]

Arrivals looks like a stage entirely dedicated to Desi acts which is pretty cool and forward thinking.

Pretty excited about Blanco on Platform 23 (rapper from Kennington, Angolan heritage, draws a lot of his sounds from Brazillian music).

Fred again is basically one of the Joy (anonymous) best mates

My mate who absolutely loves desi acts can't go this year, she's going to be gutted when she sees it!

Hopefully get a bit more information closer to the time, the expectation is through the roof for this and I think its in danger of being a safety and accessibility nightmare. It isn't a big space at all

I thought Sistxrhood is for women identifying people only right? I’d happily attend if I’m welcome but if not I’m not pressed

If you check the venue details on the website it says they are opening it up 🙂

SISTXRHOOD | Glastonbury Festival (glastonburyfestivals.co.uk)

 

Welcome!

Interesting, wonder if there was any pressure to open a stage up to everyone to (slightly) ease up crowds in places?

Just wonder if Emily had any power to say, close it down or open it up?

[Acid Loafers]

Last year were the acts who played the secret stage at Platform 23 on the lineups or not?

I somehow missed that secret stage completely, despite going there 3 times.

There's no way what your insinuating is happening

I actually tend to disagree with this. I think he will be at glasto in some capacity. Been saying it for months. I just wish it wasn’t publicised “with friends” people will just go cause they think it’ll be Fred

Bit of a naming rejig and a new stage, but otherwise the theme is the same as last year?

Biggest spreader of people at that moment could be a big TBA slot at Arcadia of some capacity right before Joy with some hints that'll be Fred the coming weeks. Something after which he can still pop-up at Joy's set at Nowhere. Pretty sure organizers know it would be a stupid idea to announce like that and expect anything less than a complete shutdown of Shangri La the hours before Joy's set.

Yeah I agree. Seems careless. Surely they knew that’s what people would think. Why not just leave the “with friends” but off and then if Fred is going to be there then it’s a complete surprise. Don’t get why they’ve not done that. Yeah I think they would have learned their lesson after last year with Fred. Went over an hour early and was carnage

Nabihah Iqbal on Arrivals stage is my highlight (apart obviously from the mighty Bobby V).  I'd been hoping she'd turn up somewhere on the lineup this year and my prayers have been answered.

+1 on this. 

 

If you're into mid-80s dreamy indie music in the style of AR Kane or the Durutti Column I'd recommend her latest project.

which one of the names is Fat Boy Slim?

My gut instinct is that it's probably due to the ongoing conversation about gender - maybe there were issues with 'proving' your gender identity if you present very masculine perhaps? Or perhaps it's also a move towards encouraging allyship? As you say though, it could also ease congestion and have logistical benefits too.

Yes. Not a crowd thing, but def a re-think for the reasons you say.

Hopefully they just realised that in 2024 segregation of any kind is an awful decision.

Sherelle set sounds brilliant but I’m a bloke so obvs can’t go. Fingers crossed she does another set over the weekend 🤞

Why is this?

Last year, that venue is female only I think.

 

However, this year it has been opened up to everyone.
