Festivals?

Primavera 2020

The marketing started before the festival even ended and that’s now been and gone. Can’t find much else to do in the next year other than to get excited about PS20. I’m hoping so much they continue the New Normal concept. It made the festival so much more enjoyable in lots of ways. There’s the addition of LA, and unannounced location and Benidorm in 2019 to the 20th anniversary celebrations. I hope they all succeed.

All Points East 2022 to 2025 & beyond

First headliner to be announced soon. Place your bets.

Field day 2020

Back to one day and moved to July. Bicep headlining.

Meltdown Festival 2020. Grace Jones curates.

Looking forward to it. Should be interesting to see the line up.

Tyler, the Creator - Lovebox & Parklife 2020

For your FYI’s

Latitude Festival 2020

So far, so Latitudey… [Latitude20_5870_Web_Approved-1-1200x1428] Will be continuing my now tradition of skipping the Saturday night headliner. Aside from that, promising start. They book artists over such a long period that it always ends up being a great line up every year

2000 Trees 2020

Not really much of a DiS festival I guess. They’ve just announced Jimmy Eat World as the Thursday headliner. Only been once before, back in 2015, but had a great time - very well run festival. Might go again next year.

For now, here’s LOW’s set from Glastonbury on iPlayer that might suit your mood today

Good thread Seán. The thought of Primavera is one of the few things getting me though today/the next few weeks.
