I'm really hoping that they are, as you said they have a new album coming out in June so it is very possible that they will be playing festivals.

Highly likely, I'd have thought.

Main stage  
or high up NME, maybe even NME headliner

Hope so, the last album was ace after a few listens (at least 10!)

i'd see them for the craic, didn't really get album number two but at the time with love and squalor was brilliant. Listened to it recently and doesn't do it as much, but still good fun tunes and someone my mates would all agree on watching, just wish they'd play a few of the tunes that didn't maybe the first album (yes there's always one who wants the obscure tracks, but selective memory and coming clean were easily good enough to go on the first album). Met them a few times as well, very friendly (albeit really hammered) guys.

if do play Leeds/Reading I won't be watching them, thought they so boring in 2008

Good band, sometimes the ad libs are better than there actual songs.

[wheres the mudfight]

Could be. the more I think about the potential bands, the better this year could be. guess that means I'm likely to be massively disapointed and scouting for girls will headline all the stages through some kind of time portal.

selective memory is a tune!! When they played Reading in 08 they played a song of crap attack called "Ram it home", i couldnt believe they played it, it is one of my favourite songs but not on there 2 albums so i did not think id ever get to see them play it. I agree they are really nice guys, very chatty

[olly!olly!olly!]

They were great at leeds in 08

Worth watching just for their jokes between songs i think. I reckon they would play 2nd on NME stage, maybe 4th on main at a push

[luckysalt]

Seen them twice, once at V, once at TITP and they're a class band, so far all I think they've announced is they're playing SXSW in the US, but surely they'll play the European festival circuit too
