Arcade Fire

[mrtourette]

So I'm guessing its got to be either Glastonbury or Latitude then?

IOW

[Porcelina]

Tuesday night was sublime, a real honour to see them in that venue, ending with Supersymmetry was a perfect low key way to come full circle on the album, after opening with Reflektor.

Although I did see The National last night and honestly, they topped Arcade Fire.

Would love to see Eavis take a punt and for both to headline the Pyramid next year.

They headlined Lattitude in 2007, far too big for there now.

Really hoping for a Glastonbury headline slot, but can see them going for the payday at the Isle of Wight.

I think with the new album they've definitely got the material to pull off a classic headline slot:

Afterlife, Reflektor, Normal Person, We Exist, Here Comes The Night Time added to their storming setlists from 2010/11 in the place of a few of the lesser known tracks from the first 3 albums would easily captivate a Pyramid crowd.

The National headlining the Pyramid? Jesus Christ.

[LondonTom]

Boo means no UK arena tour until next autumn really :(Still Glastonbury will be great!

I should just gone seen them at the Roundhouse!

The National bored me shitless when they played the other stage. I don't understand the appeal.

The National are a cracking band but they would be ridiculous Pyramid headliners.

yeah i can't wait to see their set lists on their full tour - all killer for sure. not that there was anything wrong with their setlists before, but they'll be genuinely wall-to-wall with massive songs now (assuming they don't cut out too many favourites from Funeral / The Suburbs in favour of new songs)

the pessimist in me says they'll probably be doing IOW though as many have pointed out. never played it have they? but still, fingers crossed for Glastonbury. fuck IOW

[kpins]

Afterlife is probably my favourite song on the new album. Its an absolute barnstormer, and it should be filling dance floors up and down the country. (It won't of course, that is reserved for shitty Rhianna remixes).

It all depends which dance-floors you go to.

National to sub arcade fire. Said it before, would go down in history as a majestic evening.

[AnneFranksDrumkit]

There is a nice big glasto sized space in Arcade Fires tour dates now all their US tour dates are out

[dentalplan]

The National are having a break for a year from February.

[GlastoSimon]

They HAVE to do it now don't they?!

Coachella and Glastonbury/IOW on the cards I'd imagine.

[Bluearsedfly]

haha. come on man, stop being stupid. as much as i love afterlife (it's my fave off the album), it isn't something for the dancefloor. it's the opposite!

You seen the VMA footage?

YouTube it if not

Whilst I fully agree with the sentiment, there's no way The National could headline Pyramid. Subbing to Arcade Fire maybe but even that would be a huge leap.

Not any more apparently - see The National thread Matt has said they'll be touring next year. Not sure how far into next year but not giving up hope.

it's looking more promising

[russycarps]

I saw them then also and agree it was pretty dull, sadly. They are a completely different proposition at their own gigs in a small venue however.

they wouldnt work on the pyramid that's for sure, and talk of headlining is insanity.

[Lubic]

It's Isle of Wight or Glasto then. Has anyone ever headlined both?

Neil Young in '09, and The Prodigy headlined it that same year when they were on Other at Glasto. but that's it it seems

[Osama Jim Laden]

Yeh.. I'd really like to see these again.. Great band..

I agree with this but I'd like to see them headline a small stage. I think that would work. I just want them there in any capacity to be honest as I have developed a bit of a scary obsession with them.
