Pilton Party 2023

[gfa2001]

I'm pretty sure that Kayos Bros (DJ) could be a chems secret set

https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/information/pilton-party-info/

They have about 15 followers on instagram including ed, nick dewey etc and others related to chems

Only thing is it would mean Bulgaria, UK, Italy on consecutive days

thought i'd open a discussion on it anyway as its clearly not a real act and its pointing at chems right now

You may be on to something there.

This insta post from a couple of hours ago has a comment from KayosBros: "01749 IN THE AREA".

01749 is a phone prefix for Somerset (where Glastonbury is, aka Pilton Farm).
And "in the area" is a bit of a UK 1990s phrase that was used by ravers/DJs etc.
"In the area" was also said at the start of the Odd Bod distress mix. I think that's Tom talking in a funny voice: "Odd Bod distress...in the areeeaaa"

EDIT: The original Chems link from their Facebook page actually took us to powr dot io music player here which does indeed say in writing "ODD BOD DISTRESS IN THE AREA"

The instagram account has posted again with a t shirt design

I hope there's somebody in the area to check this out and report back here what's going on

Looks like they're just doing about 40 minutes, if this is to be believed. Kayos Bros have also put this on their insta stories.

I guess hardcore Chems collectors might want one of these T-shirts though (as mentioned by GFA above), as they are probably a rarity.

Based on Ed posting on Instagram from Italy today, I think it's probably safe to say they went straight there from last night's show and aren't heading up to this party to DJ as Kayos Bros, right? 

[gfa2001]

Forgot to say - i got told it wasn't them a few days ago.

Some friends were there and confirmed it wasn't them.

The account has just posted and its already been liked by chems, doesn't show their faces. I reckon its maybe people high up in the chems team maybe?

[ThePumisher]

So who are they?

[shakermaker]

tribute act?

[ThePumisher]

tribute act?

Doing a DJ set? Hmmm

Some friends were there and confirmed it wasn't them.

They haven't take any pictures or videos, have they?

[gfa2001]

So who are they?

randoms it seems

afraid i have no more info - maybe glasto's pages will post something in the coming days/ weeks.

not sure if theres an aftermovie or similar perhaps

Emily Eavis thanked the Chems on her Insta

Where sorry?

[TJEFFS2000]

ah maybe unrelated

See the confusion you started GFA? Leading us all on a merry dance...
Mind you the fact that (1) both the ChemBros and Ed's social media follow the Kayos Bros and (2) Kayos Bros used the expression "in the area", suggests to me that there is some sort of connection between the two sets of "bros".

The Emily Eavis "thanks" was this I think. Narration by actor Michael Sheen (he was in Passengers with Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt).

There's 100% something there, chems followed their insta when they had about 30 followers before glasto even announced them

just wonder what it is - perhaps we'll never know!

Frank the Boss playing "Who let the dogs out" on repeat for 40min?

[shakermaker]

for some reason this only-mildly-interesting rabbit hole has drawn me in.

one commentor claims that they were a last minute replacement for Patmandu last year.

they also posted this silhouette photo on the platform formerly known as twitter. not really enough to discern anything, even if I mess with the brightness.

https://twitter.com/KAYOSBROS/status/1697921580142150129/photo/2

no reviews of pilton party anywhere online. glastonbury official site has photos of everyone including the other between-act DJ, but not them.

weird.

I also tried to brighten up the photo, but I feel it was deliberately taken/edited so that the persons can't be identified.
There's got to be some connection to the Chems. That they're somebody T&E are close with is reasonable, I think.
