zahidf Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 This weeks nme, in the album preview sections, says that the Doves are playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sipperana Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 That would be good. Haven't seen Doves for a few years, and never in a festival setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Day Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Saw them at their last Glasto and they were brilliant. Popped into see them a fortnight later at T with the intention of watching 15 mins then heading off. Again they were so good I stayed. Hope they do play this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole4ord Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I always thought that the Doves would be great to Headline. i know they are maybe not a "big" enough band but with their songs it would make one hell of a show! I know they wont be headlining but be great to see them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Day Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 The new album will be their 4th so they've got the songs to headline, maybe the other stage or even JP. Just a brilliant live band and a must see if they're playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugger2k Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 i really hope their playing. they have been awesome all 3 times ive seen them at glasto. i caught them at oxford and the festival hall last year where they previewed some of the new stuuf and it was damn fine. and the set they dropped there was easily good enough to take on the other stage headline spot, again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAH030 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Saw them in 2005 at V & they were incredible, absolutely loved it Their new album is the one i'm most looking forward to this year, should be out before glasto comes round too - excellent!!

Red Day Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 i wouldnt put em on the JP too big for that (even having been away for so long). Having said that, again because theyve been away for so long probably missed the boat on a headline other stage slot. but the sunset gig would do. just imagine the sun just dipping below the horizon (fingers crossed ), the sky turning a brilliant hue of orange and pink, and Doves dropping There Goes The Fear.

elfimaju Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 10 posts (well 11 now) in this 'band-based' thread and all of them positive - is this a record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petewasbristol Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Got to say, they would be perfect to play Neil Young in to his headline slot (If it is him). Or even in 3rd spot like last time on the Pyramid, just catching the sun (Think it was before the White Stripes?). And with a bit of Pear cider in hand of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidd Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 great call, seen them a few times and they've never disappointed,sunset slot would be perfect , possibly as good as elbow last year ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tugger2k Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 The more I think about it, with 4 albums in and a first class live reputation, can't see any problem with Doves headlining the Other Stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedmills Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I expect an afternoon spot on the Pyramid or Other, I think they have been away for too long. Not sure how well the new album will sell. Might be a headliner for John Peel I suppose but not much of a 'new' band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinny Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'd love to see Doves at Glasto, preferably a sunset slot. That would be mint. Please don't let them clash with Springsteen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmy Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Best band added so far IMO, think I'll watch them whoever they clash with. Edited January 21, 2009 by Grimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB15 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Really considering Glasto this year, and this might make up my mind. One of the best bands around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
