A popular music festival with some pop acts as headliners? Well I never!!

The age range at Glastonbury is 6 months to 90 years old.

And for once I’m being serious.

Heno

Smallman1 correct!

I’d never bring either of my kids at a young age to it, would defo not be for me

Homegrove

Digweed shared a bit of his set on his Instagram, he seemed well happy with it. Hopefully he airs it on a future Transitions.

It was a brilliant set!

Played Audion - mouth to mouth
Just needed to crank it up!

Heno Apparently he had the sound police all over him - The Glade was heavily targeted - it was annoying as there were stupidly loud sound systems really near bye and all over the site. I think he did the right thing with Mouth to Mouth though in context of the rest of his set - it was better by the speakers.

Heno was it the Carl Craig remix?

Along_the_Wire in 19 the glade in the forest was absolutely perfect sound wise, we had been in the temple then got to digweed for the last hour and we’re right in front of the sound desk, met some great people and had good craic during the set, last track was really familiar

Was the original mix of mouth to mouth

Smallman1

Couldn’t believe he played Mouth to Mouth, I’ve always loved it, didn’t think it was Digweed’s bag of chips I must say.

He used to rinse it at Bedrock.

I can’t remember if I’ve heard Diggers play ‘Mouth to Mouth’ before, I feel like I might have done but can’t be sure. Although, I’ve def heard him play this at a Bedrock night (Oct 2013 at Fire Vauxhall) and it was pretty big:

Um…

Mouth to Mouth is an absolute monster for a festival. Anything else….not so much.

15 years old, too. Like Twilo-era Diggers playing something from the early/mid ’80’s. Fuck that timeline.

Smallman1

Heno last track was really familiar

jonattonyeah

Smallman1

I like that. Seems like a good tune to close the night out given the Chems couldn’t play. And I wish Diggers would play more fun tracks rather than playing Bedrock releases over and over again. He’s still a top drawer DJ when he wants to be.

Random question. Is camping the only option at Glasto? Just curious.

Along_the_Wire

Smallman1 he finished with Bizarre Love Triangle

Smallman1

I thought it was a little out of place the last track.

The set overall was absolutely brilliant though, one of the best I’ve heard him play, so much fun.

Heno

Smallman1 that’s the one, my missus really liked it to, don’t know about great minds tho!?

This is valid tbf!

Hank_Solo

jonattonyeah I remember one year at SW4, Diggers dropped the Chemical Brothers remix of Fatboy Slim’s Song For Shelter. Monster.

At Heaven once he finished up with Believe as the last tune (which tbf I don’t like at the best of times).

Mouth To Mouth, what a cracker. I was there at Heaven when that video was recorded, great night.

My top Glasto BBC footage comes courtesy of Roisin Murphy, what an amazing performer she is. Incapable is such a groovy fucker of a choon.

Smallman1

Oh god no, a friend organises luxury accommodation for the likes of Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller.

£20k+ mind.

jonattonyeah

Smallman1

That makes sense. I figured there was something figured out given Somerset isn’t Vegas when it comes to hotels. We were lucky the times we went to Coachella. A friend’s dad had a vaca home in Palm Springs. One of those Mediterranean Revival, single story homes from the ’60’s with a pool and AC, etc. Good times. But people do camp. Seems insane given the heat; you’re in the fucking desert. Likely far worse than the Glasto mud/rain.

Burning Man is no joke. It’s A LOT of work. The drive back is long, hard, and awful. Have a good friend who’s been going for ages. He builds installations and (mostly these days) bars. He’s very creative. Finds famous bars/clubs in the US and beyond and recreates mini versions of them. For his work he gets like 20 free tickets to give out. ANYWAY, yeah it’s no joke. I wouldn’t go again but I’m happy I went once. There’s nothing like it. Might not be as hedonistic as in yesteryears given Instagram and tech bros flying in on helicopters and Paul Oakenfold and all that. But it’s an experience.

Fun fact, the STD rates in Nevada spike 400%+ that month (the CDC reports on likely location of infection as well as location of testing). Black Rock City is, afterall, the third largest city in Nevada when it’s going.

jonattonyeah Burning Man is no joke. It’s A LOT of work.

Yeah, the more I looked into it the madder it got, some of the airport hire places wanted proof of hotels the night before pick up with really specific pick up times, along with lots of financial proof and long lead in times… I can only assume that week / month is a horror show for them. Lots of conditions before you were allowed onto the playa too. Throw in all the travel and the cost and its harder and harder to justify from over here. I’m pretty much done with flying too.

Smallman1

Camped (oo’er missus) at Glastonbury in 2007 where it had the most recorded rain on record.

Wasn’t what I call winning I can’t lie -

jonattonyeah

Smallman1

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you even do? That’s horrendous.

Heno

Smallman1 that picture is from 05 when the flash flood happened on Friday morning we were walking home from the stone circle and the heaven’s opened for a few hours and the place was destroyed, literally all people’s stuff was gone! I was there in 07 and as you said it was tough, like it didn’t stop raining for 4 days remember going to bed and everything was wet or full of muck I think a few of my mates would of went home only drugs we could get till the Sunday was K , standing at the Arctic Monkeys like a wet rat on k was odd to say the least!
Weather was good in 08 till 11 we bought a camper van in 09 and had till 14 which was brilliant but sold in 14 and took a break, been in worthy view the last 3 times and I find good enough, I think I if I go again I’d stay of site in a nice B and B or air B and B , kinda at the point where I need a break from it again,
