I have used the search function and couldn't find anything relating specifically to Wild Beasts but from looking at their myspace dates, it reads as follows:


1 Jul 2010 20:00
Roskilde Festival - Day tbc Roskilde

17 Jul 2010 20:00
Lovebox Festival London, Victoria Park

12 Sep 2010 20:00
Bestival Isle of Wight

So there is a massive gap there between Roskilde and Lovebox.
Personally, I absolutely love them. I think they are a quality act and would be a great addition/

Thoughts?

[olly!olly!olly!]

Have only heard a couple of songs but my friends all rave about them.

Definately think they will play at some point over the weekend

[stf]

I'm really hoping that they do since my other half is currently sulking because I made him miss their show last night as I had tickets to see Bad Lieutenant (who were AWESOME and I really hope play too!!!)

[Bradders]

Yeh I love 'em too. They'll probably play if they're doing roskilde the weekend after.

[tinpottery]

I both think and hope they will be there.

The gap between Roskilde and Lovebox is in July!? If they do play a Worthy farm Show then i think they would only be playing to cows.
However, i love the band and would love to see them again now they have a second album out.

[Joshuwarr]

I think my best mate will cry if Mumford and Sons, Laura Marling AND Wild Beasts play

Love them though <3

Well the dates before Roskilde are
27 May 2010 Barcelona
29 May 2010 Dot to Dot Festival Bristol
30 May 2010 Dot to Dot Festival Nottingham
31 May 2010 Dot to Dot Festival Manchester


They also confirmed themselves for Latitude on their facebook.


I saw them last night. I was in the front row and the place was utterly sold out, first of the Irish tour.
Now I hope no-one thinks I'm just banging on about a band who are currently cool. I ain't no bandwagon jumper. I've liked them since I first heard "The Devil's Crayon" in 2008 and I have wanted to see them since.

Last night was single handedly the best gig I've ever been to.
Ever.
The crowd, who were amazingly fluent [lyrics wise] and the band themselves were on fire.
Helped that Villagers supported too [if you don't know them I suggest checking them out]
They played a fantastic playlist and gave absolutely everything. The guitarist, Ben, was playing in his socks like.
I can't explain it but I still have that feeling in my tummy that's a mixture of desperation, frustration, passion and joy from seeing them.
That sounds corny I know.

Anyway, if they play I will be there. The only way I wouldn't is if they clash with Vampire Weekend and the only reason they;d win out is because I saw WB last night.

Awe-inspiring.

If anyone is bored in May, I think it'll be the best money you ever spend if you to the Glasgow, Bristol or Leeds dates.

[tolywoly]

Yeah these guys are great.

I mind seeing them at Pinup Nights in Glasgow years ago.

[Station]

What are they like? I've never heard 'em

[ktej]

Would be very pleased if an appearance was confirmed! As to what they are like a little hard for me to say lead singer sings in falsetto but doesn't sound like Mika and one of my favourite songs has the words 'chips with cheese'(please sir) it's probably easier to spotify/YouTube
