Spent a bit of time in the Rocket Lounge on Thursday last year. Not been there before and it was brilliant, especially Sister Suzie. Looks like she’s playing there again on the Thursday. Would recommend. 

Sister Suzie has become a regular visit for me.

With the Rabbit Hole gone I'm hoping for a Thursday appearance from Lekiddo somewhere on site (assuming I'm not on shift then)

It is a bar/tent at the end of Shangri-la, opposite end to the common entrance.

any recommendations for things to do with young kids on Thursday daytime? 

 

Kidzfield, tend to spend a lot of time there Thursday to give the kids a good go before the music starts proper.

 

In case you didn't know and it helps, the Greenpeace kids opens Weds too, main Kidzfield opens Thurs

 

There's a few bits for kids in green futures and craft field too, worth a wander

[Padgey]

Usually go and see Mik Artistik at The Gateway but he's not playing this year so will probably go find some shade and have a cider or 10!

I've had Babylon Uprising recommended to me as a fun little dance tent. How busy does it get on a Thursday?

 

I'm not familiar with any of the names on there for Thursday, are there any names that stick out for those in the know?

Also interested to know the genre of these artists? Heard good things about the tent, somehow never clapped eyes on it although after looking at the map it seems I must have walked past 100 times!

Kangaroo moon!   (No idea who they are, just like the name)

Iam starting my Thurs watching ARXX on Greenpeace stage 13.45. Spotify describes them as what Taylor swift would sound like if she listened to Nirvana . I've been listening to a few of their songs and they sound really good. 

 

Also playing BBC Introducing Friday 16.30

I always think it blends in well with a lot of the traders and other bits along that stretch. Never seen it that packed although it's not huge - but the music spills out quite a bit so you could easily be dancing just outside by the path and be fine. Definitely wouldn't expect it to get rammed at any point unless enough passing people are drawn in by the music.

Showhawk Duo into Doreen Doreen on Sensation seakers  stage will be good fun. I made it last year to  Perry Ibiza Rave at the park inn and it was a great night without being in one of the packed "must see" venues so can recommend that too....

[balti-pie]

Babylon uprising is primarily jungle, drum and bass and a bit of heavier dub - and as such its a very good thing to amble along to especially during the day. Putting it in the market with all the shopping types never fails to amuse me

I remember seeing an Elvis\Nirvana cover band a few years ago on the Thursday. Sounded like a weird concoction, was fantastic though and really worked

Saw the Levellers around 2008 on a Thursday as well who did a great set.

 

Frank Turner's in Strummerville which will draw a crowd but it doesn't grab my attention

Anyone have any live acts worth seeing they would like to share on here?

 

I've some ideas of stuff I want to see.  But I'm not sharing as I don't want them to be packed out busy!  😉

Ooooo saw a video of these and they looked insane!

 

Where is this stage though please?

[uscore]

I haven't listened to them yet, so I'm just going to assume they continuously sing the words "Kangaroo Moon" to the tune of the all time classic "Crocodile Shoes".

Don't even have a ticket so don't know why I'm torturing myself reading this thread, but just had to chime in to say this is an excellent plan.

 

Nirvana x Taylor Swift is pretty accurate, they just consistently put out incredibly catchy pop rock. Seen em live 3 times and they're brilliant - great performers, plus really enjoyable down to earth & amusing banter in between songs. Really can't recommend them enough.

[CanWeRest]

I might not get the name right, but I think there's a band called Girls Next Door? Or something like that. They sound good 

[Memory Man]

Theres plenty on but hard to say what will be manageable and what will be a joke, capacity wise, though.

 

i will definitely be trying to see lambrini girls and lynks

 

id like to see jonathan pie but guessing you wont get in unless waiting before it opens

 

id like to see daniel avery electroclash set but stonebridge is always rammed. The kids dont know what electroclash is, right?

[BlackZeppelin]

Bimble Inn is good on a Thursday
