Yeah much closer. Actually posted this prediction for Glastonbury a couple of pages ago - taken into account it'll be a shorter set than their own headline shows: Once Upon a Poolside Eucalyptus Tropic Morning News System Only Dreams Bloodbuzz I Need My Girl Graceless Space Invader Alien Day I Die England Fake Empire Terrible Love Mr November About Today Vanderlyle

Melbourne night 2 was way more random than a standard setlist in fairness. Go for the one in Auckland, that'll be a lot closer to the Glasto set. Edit to say it was still a fantastic set. Slipping Husband was a joy! But lots won't get a Glasto airing sadly.

Its a great song, although after seeing the live version a few times, it's difficult for the album version to really stand out as much. They slow it down and strip it back a lot more live & it hits harder - especially if they close out the show with it which they sometimes do.

Put in Alien and Laugh Track for This Isn't Helping & The Alcott and you have yourself a deal. I could also get on board with Space Invader for Hornets in fact.

They should get 1.5 hours - on the recent tour they were playing for 2 hours 15 roughly which most nights was 26 songs. So maybe closer to 18 (depending on the songs of course!). As a first listen, tracks I'd recommend to get you started would be Mr November, Day I Die, England, Eucalyptus (very very good live), I Need My Girl & Mistaken For Strangers. Most of those would get played at Glasto too & if you enjoy, then just branch out and check what's frequently popping up on the recent setlists here - hope you enjoy!

My guess for Glasto would be something like this in order: Once Upon a Poolside Eucalyptus Tropic Morning News System Only Dreams Bloodbuzz I Need My Girl Graceless Space Invader Alien Day I Die England Fake Empire Terrible Love Mr November About Today Vanderlyle Slightly condensed version of their recent tour sets and focusing on the more obvious and popular songs - I reckon the above would win over a few. And maybe they throw in Bat Child if they've polished it enough by then.

Just got back to Europe from following them around their tour down under - they really are on the form of their lives right now. Setlists are getting mixed up and they just seem to be having so much fun at each show. As somebody who was also disappointed in the 2017 performance, I really expect their slot this summer to go down a lot better - I'd anticipate there's less casuals at the set and the live stuff has just gone up a few notches since then. In particular Eucalyptus, About Today, Smoke Detector, November and Vanderlyle have been so good live on the NZ/Oz tour. High Violet on Sunday was a superb way to finish the tour (and kinda weird to hear Vanderlyle not just sung along by the crowd!).
