So there is a god... someone must have been listening to my prayers!

Absolutely cannot wait to see these for the first time. Had tickets for the York gig at the start of March but got the wrong bleedin day and missed them! D'oh!

Saw them at the Lexington earlier in the year - they were brilliant!  I suspect this is the last time they will be playing so low down on the bill, especially with tunes like these on the latest album.

Can't access youtube via work but I suspect they are Nothing Like You and Swim Until You Can't See Land.

They are my two favourite of the new album, although there's plenty other good uns on it too like!

Midnight Organ Fight is just superb.

[tejhog]

agreed. Midnight Organ Fight is one of the most underrated albums of the last few years.

Saw them supporting gomez a few months back. Brilliant gig

Really hope I manage to catch them, love their albums

I was one of about 20 people who saw them at Big Chill in 2008 at The Castle Stage.  There was so few of us Scott was having a chat with us in the audience.  It was a really cool gig.  I'm looking forward to seeing them again at Glastonbury.

Saw them in manchester in Feb...they were excellent.  Look forward to this

I fear the Other Stage might be too big for them in terms of the size of the crowd. Hopefully plenty will turn up but who knows.

[fowls]

Yeah, should be good!  The stage may be a little too big, but we'll see.  They've supported some fairly big bands recently, so maybe their fanbase will be growing.  I wouldn't be surprised if they follow a similar pattern to Snow Patrol; a few albums of relative obscurity and then suddenly shoot up to mainstream chart success.

If its Sunny a lot of people hang out on the other stage and listen to whatever appears on stage anyhow?

[sisterofmercy]

I'm really looking forward to this.

Saw them a few weeks ago at the tiny Aldershot West End Center, they are terrific. "You're The Shit & I'm Knee Deep In it", could be an Appropriate Glasto Anthem !

[Rio]

So glad they got added to the lineup, they deserve it, top drawer band.

I will be working a few shifts over the weekend, just hope i dont miss them!

[disasterplan]

Really enjoyed them at Thekla last month, really looking forward to seeing them again. I too can see them getting pretty big... but please, let's not see them go the way of Snow Patrol, as suggested earlier...

I was there too, cracking gig.  Not sure whether I'll watch them at Glasto seeing as the Westy was so recent but if there's no other temptations I might toddle along.

[andy_h]

Seen them in December along with about 50 other people, really good live.  Think they'll have a few more watching them at Glastonbury. Midnight Organ Fight is a brilliant album.

I was at the thekla too, great gig.

Hopefully they won't totally follow SP's example of realising retardedly simple pop songs sell for megabucks, but I can definitely see Frabbit aiming themselves at a similar crowd to SP.

Can't wait.

Brilliant band.
