^^does look pretty good fun really
though i may have to be heading over to the mainstage by the time he's on
I've never seen him live
but his records are brilliant.
I saw Vitalic
Sonar week last year in Barca; I have never ever seen a crowd go so fucking bananas in my life - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh2Zzx_9IQk - It was pretty much like that for an hour.
lady sov, 3 oh 3 and matser shortie?
amazing stuff.
Who can tell me about Deadmau5- dubstep? I'm out the loop here.

leeds fest bookers are terrible for dance music
its weird how you have to go to mainland europe to get a festival which has good dance music AND good bands. that said, deadmau5, mixhell and vitalic will be excellent. mstrkrft, quemists and chase & status are meathead nonsense but go well with carling weekend vibe and will probably be popular amongst the people there. then stuff like lady sov and 3OH!3... uggggggghhhhh that's some bad bad shit right there. if you want a good dance music line up go to melt/pukkelpop/exit/dour or summat and enjoy a holiday abroad at the same time
Glasto looks ok
I mean i just saw a stage with RSD also playing with Smith & Mighty, Joker & Nomad, Pinch & Peverelist, another with Appleblim, Hud Mo, MJ Cole, N-Type, 2 Many DJs, Josh Wink, DJ Yoda, DJ Food, Zinc, Scratch Perverts, Iration Steppas, Tom Middleton, Stanton Worriors, Slam, LAyo & Bushwacka!, Erol Alkan... all spread out all over the place not bad for a middle of the road indie fest.
could be so much better with just a couple of big names though
(and some more techno)
four tet is playing though, which is excellent.
and jamie jones, for that matter.
I do reckon Glasto manages to hold its credentials as more than just an MOR indie fest
It's got seriously amazing stuff on the smaller stages every year. Still, that looks obscenely good, sad I'm not going.
yeah, but Radiohead, Deftones and Faith no More
as well as various other REALLY great bands. this tent is weak this year, but i haven't got the time for it. plus it's too small and full of pill heads.
Glastonbury is obviously better for dance. shit it's got like 10 plus stage for it, but that's not the point
Battle.
Jelly.
D'oh, you know the rest
DONUT!
i'm so annoyed. Vitalic will clearly clash with Radiohead :(
might be able to catch some MSTRKRFT though...
Deamau5 will be good
I will be seeing him at Dour :D
Really poor and usually is.
The best from memory has been freeland, vitalic, aphex and niteversions at reading (different years). I think vitalic actually played just before niteversions a few years ago just after crystal castles. Could be making that up. But on the other hand, Deftones and Radiohead!
And yeah the techno element of glasto looks missing this year.
