Agree, great sentiments. I ran past the airport on a training run the other morning and, for me, something still hangs over the place. Would be great to get rid of it with a massive (safe) party IMHO. However.........

This also.

Guy Garvey is curating Meltdown on the South Bank this year. He was on 6 Music saying that originally he looked for diverse acts he'd not heard of before he realised he'd been asked because he was mates with so many good bands. That would be fantastic for one year but boring if you just repeated it the next. Getting Rudimental and Disclosure to do it again seems to have just resulted in more of the same.

The addition of Avalanches got me thinking, should I go?

But then reality hit and to quote Danny Glover in Lethal weapon "I'm too old for this shit".

Disclosure are great live, I saw them in Chicago last year and was really impressed.

And I've always enjoyed Four Tet

The rest of the line up I don't know too much about.

In the words of Hall & Oates "I'm out of touch".

To be fair this is a club heavy line up and won't appeal to all. Those that are into that thing there are some massive 'underground' DJs there. If I wasn't going to the Euros I'd be there.

Incidentally got 2 tickets for the Sunday including bus going for £130 for the pair

If I were going I'd be looking forward to The Avalanches, Carl Cox, Annie Mac, DJ EZ, Four Tet, Skepta, Dixon, Todd Terje, De La Soul, David Rodigan, Novelist, Jackmaster, Eats Everything and Julio Bashmore. The DJ's are definitely stronger than the live acts and it's a bit of a cheek to have the same headliners as last year.
