Finish the article, seriously.  By the end, it should leave any Glastonbury lover with a big grin on their faces.

fair enough, I'll have a look when I next go for a poo

Allow me to summarise the article:

Public school fop complains about a bit of mud.

nah I gave up half way. Load of shite.

 

 

Allow me to quote from the article with a special recommendation just for you Russy:

"If you find yourself sitting at home moaning about this, that or the other, as I almost began to this year, feeling sorry for myself and only experiencing it through the distorting prism of online snarkiness – don’t give in to that kind of cynicism and lazy ill-will. Do yourself a favour and just  go one year read the f*cking article."

I saw them as support act for Kaiser Chiefs in Plymouth. Not my thing obviously, hated it personally.

[VolumetricFox]

This is the beauty of music, there's something for everyone and the fact everyone likes different stuff yet all share the Glastonbury experience is great.

 

There isn't one Glastonbury, there's 150,000 Glastonburys.

Saw them smash the granny out of it at The Glade this year - epical.

[Homer]

My only regret of last year - seeing Leftfield instead of these guys again. The worst part was it started dawning on me about halfway through Leftield's set.

[Harry49]

Never heard of them until I frequented this place. Result - highlight of the 2015 festival! Closely followed by Future Islands another forum recommendation.

Am scouring the boards for top tips for next year amongst the usual bantah over headliners!

Good videos here from Brixton

Never really got them before this year, but the Glade show was incredible. Everest - what a song

Saw them at the Science Museum (obviously quite a fitting venue) and they were ruddy brilliant, as usual. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long for them to return to the farm

I'm all for avoiding duplicate threads, but I got a little excited when I saw this thread appear, before I noticed that it's from last year. Maybe a new thread instead of bumping would have been better for this one?

No live stream for me

[Brave Sir Robin]

Bad news:

 

[cdm22]

Shame. Although they did play pretty much EVERYWHERE in the last year so its probably not that suprising. I think I saw them 4 times last year due to festivals and didn't go to an actual gig-gig of theirs!

[PiratePete]

They've done the festival a couple of years in a row haven't they? So would seem logical that they might not be there this year - shame though. Their set in the Glade was amazing last year, up there as one of my highlights.

Funny this thread should pop up today, I'm off to see them in Nottingham tonight, should be a cracker!

[theouterlimits]

They played 3 years running (Williams Green, West Holts, Glade) so I guess it would have been unreasonable to expect them to be there this year. I'd guess they will be back on their next album

[Homer]

Going to see at the O2 next Friday! Be interesting to see what's changed as haven't seen them since West Holts and I prefer the first album.

[northernbro]

saw them at their rescheduled leeds show last sunday - very impressive yet again a great evenings entertainment 

highlights for me were valentina, the other side, go, the now generation, if war should come & everest

korolev and sputnik were fantastic also, looking forward to see what direction they go in for the 3rd album

[Homer]

Bit stupid that they smashed the whole war thing on an EP really.

[PiratePete]

Agree, WW2 could be covered in much more scope and detail. Not a huge fan of the War Room EP except for Spitfire (which is an epic track). Still, there's plenty of scope for a focus on other things - off the top of my head: Vietnam war; modern conflicts (Iraq, Afghanistan, etc), the 80's as an era generally, the Cold War (insofar as it doesn't relate to the race for space), the development of technology in the 20th century... 

Really hope they perform 'Lit Up' tonight, I love the story behind it. For anyone who might be interested and isn't aware already, it's based on a retired naval officer who became an announcer for BBC radio. He was due to broadcast covering the gathering of the naval fleet, but met up with some old naval buddies beforehand and got shitfaced. When he went on air he was so hammered he just kept talking cobblers and repeating himself, so got taken off air pretty sharpish and suspended.

The Cold War and the Civil Rights Movement seem pretty ripe for the PSB touch.

I'd personally like to a see concept album about cricket, sampling Aggers, Johnners, Tuffers and, of course, Boycers.

Sport would be a great theme.
