Am leaving my phone very much at home this year. Ignorance is blissI just hope there's better signal than 2019... not having internet for three days were a pain when I lost people

Only k ow a few names illl be honest. Blurb says
"Fifteen years since the launch of the NYC Downlow, creative duo Block9 return to their spiritual home in Somerset with two spectacular fields – Block9 East and Block9 West – with invited guests including TODD EDWARDS, HONEY DIJON, FLOORPLAN, JUSTIN STRAUSS, STEFFI, LSDXOXO and a collaboration with NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL
Block9 West sees the most highly anticipated comeback of 2022 with queer nightlife institution NYC DOWNLOW plus its backroom counterpart MEAT RACK. And for one year only, GENOSYS SOUND SYSTEM pays respect to the legacy of free parties, DIY rave counterculture and music as a form of political protest, 30 years after the infamous Castlemorton.
Next door, Block9 East hosts IICON – the epic monument to our digital, post-truth age, and a brand new collaboration with NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL.
Are you ready?"

That GENOSYS is superb - you trip out even without drugs (so I’m told!) also ICON is pretty impressive - the things that go on in these parts in the early hours is something to behold!

My favourite time at the festival. NYC in the early hours is always something special.

The full line up is out. Massive. Solomun 4am-6am in Shangri La. Oooofff
well played Emily
if I was going, musicwise I would spend most of the time at Block 9 - Steffi, Felix, Justin Strauss, Placid always play such brilliant records I've never heard before.
and I'd have to check out Macca of course, although I guess he'd be a dot in the distance. Probably his last hurrah before he finally bows out.
Shocking decision. Getting added to a lineup because your country is getting bombed(or getting removed cos your country is acting up). No one wanted to know about nastia as shes a very average DJ before the war.
Disgraceful. Same with russian tennis players getting banned from Wimbledon.

Chatting with an ex colleague who works down on the farm, helping with the programming across the late night areas last night- Nina decided against playing Arcadia herself in the end and Nastia was booked for the Common in Nov last year
I think it was wrong of them to invite her in the first place, knowing full well she is pro-Putin (search google.. it's all there). hardly consistent with Glastonbury's famously hippy, humanist ethos
the point is the game's changed from 10-15 years ago. you can't separate the 'artist' from the politics anymore, not after #MeToo Ten Walls and all the other shit of recent years. Some legit and some exaggerated. So on that basis we have to be consistent here. Either nobody has any baggage or all baggage counts. Now evidently Ibiza is more selective about this and tries to ignore politics, real life and anything outside Ibiza as much as possible which is why she and all the plague ravers and Lawler a known thug and Rampling a far right nutjob and Hannah Wants a known antivax loon and all the other divs got invited back and it's why Morillo was indulged for so long - because there is always money to be made out of these certified c*nts, whereas Glastonbury isn't about the money and never was. It ain't cheap but neither is creating a 96 hour 170000 city in a field
if it was up to me personally clubbing would always be about total escapism, leaving everything at the door, ensuring everyone is respectful inside, in my ideal world I wouldn't even know what djs were called or looked like and the music would be beautiful and everyone would hold hands and hand Es out like sweets but it ain't like that anymore, if it ever was? money talks and so do hashtags. With social media DJs turned themselves into brands and PR machines. well if you're suddenly Mr/Ms conscientious, then you gotta take the rough with the smooth.
