I've recommended her music in another thread, but if you're into dreamy 80s 4AD adjacent indie in the vein of early Lush, A.R. Kane, early Cocteau Twins you really need to give Nabihah Iqbal a go. Her album DREAMER was one of my favourites of last year.

Sounds right up my street. Thanks!

Caught the end of Bobby Friction's Bhangra All Stars last year before Skindred. Was brilliant, had the crowd jumping.

 

According to the article, "The space at Glastonbury has been described as "an alien jungle planet"."

 

Sounds like fun! Should fit right in to SEC.

It’s the new area of Shangri-La called Arrivals. Having a nice Sunday session exploring some of this stuff.

Thoroughly recommend Dar Disku. Fantastic on Wow in 2022. Immaculate vibrations.

2nd this. None of his music has missed for me, A Mixtape completely slaps and Steamroller was one of my tunes of 22.

Is that the bloke that did Blackpool Boulevard with BCS?

I think the stage and the vibe will be great.....

 

That being said is there really room to fit another stage in Shangri La. Does anyone know if the boundaries have shifted. 

 

There was not much space left last time where do we think it will sit

They've been posting footage of what looks like the back room in Platform 23 - I never made it in there but at a guess that's maybe where it'll be.
