I already have a tear in my eye. I'm going to be a mess.

Cheers, I need to get up to scratch with these before farm time.

High Violet is the best introduction for a new listener IMO, as good as Boxer is...

[The Other Steve]

To start with try High Violet

My year has just moved on from I really hope The National will play at Glastonbury to I really hope The National will play..

 

1. About Today
2. Start A War

 

So what do you guys want them to play???

Boxer or high violet. 

Just been through the Boxer, v decent. I'll give High Violet a go now. I have a feeling their stuff is going to slowly grow on me, by the time that other stage headline slot comes around I'll be gagging for it.

[Neville Street]

A 3 hour set is what I want.

However, failing that, Green Gloves, Start a War, Terrible Love, Bloodbuzz Ohio, Conversation 16 , arrrggghhhhh!!! This is impossible

Doubt they'll play either. Both are played at some standalone gigs, but neither are usual festival songs for them. But you never know!

As long as they play Pink Rabbits, England and Vanderlyle (which they will), i'm going to be good (because i'm going to be crying).

[calamitymaud]

Secret Meeting would be good too.

Oh and Apartment Story. And Blood Buzz.

Fuck it can't they just play each album back to back?

That is exactly how The National work.

Yeah I agree with you which is why I suggested them as unlikely!  I've only seen them play About Today once and I've never seen them play Start A War!

Slow Show for me please. That middle-eight is a thing of beauty.

[Robofish]

And they must play Pink Rabbits, Mistaken For Strangers & England.

One of us! One of us!

An Alligator heavy set for this grumpy fucker against Ed, gwan lads. 

[mario man]

I haven't seen them since a snowy night in Brixton in 2010, bloody delighted they're on the line up! 

[When Jokers Attack]

so happy with this. I haven't seen them live since 2011. Radiohead and The National playing the same year.

Knee deep in High violet now, grabbed me by the balls quicker than Boxer. Could be a staple for the next couple of months. Cheers for the advice chaps!

[jyoung]

Sensational stuff. Happy for all eFesters who never gave up hope on this happening. It's gonna be stunning! Where do we reckon they will play? The National into The xx into Radiohead would have many round here rooted to the Pyramid Stage. Or are we looking at a higher slot? Either way, overjoyed to see their name pop up. It was worth the wait!

[CHRLY]

The 'Seminal Sunday Other Stage' slot, surely. This would solve all of my Glasto worries - please let this be.

[nickkkw]

Nearly dropped my phone when I saw their name on the poster, was such a shock. Had given up hope after the last few years of them not showing. Going into Radiohead would probably be the most logical, plus I really want to see them on Pyramid instead of Other.  Maybe XX - The National - Radiohead on Friday night or something.

Yeah the more I think about it the more I'm convinced that's where they'll be.

[FuzzyDunlop]

I'm pretty excited over the national, but it's the Clash worries for me!
