[MEGABOWL]

i wouldnt have a problem with it - they were great when they finished off the festival (Sigur Ros before them was an ispired choice), closing with spaceface - immense!!

but have they been away too long (almost 4 years of no activity whatsoever - apart from 2 gigs last year) that they warrant a headline slot?

as i said, i wouldnt mind, but will the bookers?

[fingers_mark]

For sure they'll play - Glasto favourites

Any stage but the pyramid would be fine!

My band of the last decade - hand's down

[stevieg72]

Really love the doves, hope they play, are they touring soon?

[cabstar]

When they closed the festival on Other stage I think 2003 they where widely spouted as the best band of the weekend & they truly where. As has been mentioned they closed with an awesome Spaceface.

I think they where 3rd or 4th on the bill on pyramid I think 06 if memory serves me right on the Sunday again.

Really really pleased to see them on the bill, love that band. Everyone should own their dvd from the eden sessions, just beautiful.

[fingers_mark]

Doves have confirmed new album put in April in a mailout yesterday - so eyes peeled for tour dates in next few weeks i guess

[MikeyB37]

Best rumour/confirmation yet.

[Sparticus]

Or playing 'Catch The Sun' as the sun is just going down

[daveinafield]

can i add snowden and black and white town to this list. I've managed to get all of doves albums without realising i had them all, but each album has essential tunes on them, just feel good music. Just a shame that went i saw them supporting coldplay (think it was 05?) the rain was absolutely smashing it down so we stayed in the seats and watched from afar, reckon they'd be perfect with the sun blazing though.

[When Jokers Attack]

the cedar room for me please, one of the most beautiful tracks ever imo..and yes they were great in 2003 on other stage headlining

[stevieg72]

The cedar room is awsome, they played it at t in the park a few years back in the king tuts tent, words cant describe how good it was!

Pounding, there goes the fear, caught by the river all deserve a mention as well.

christ almighty, if that was the glasto setlist it would be one of the greatest shows ever

Edited January 22, 2009 by Tugger2k

[russycarps]

id throw in Words, Sattelites, Catch The Sun, Sky Starts Falling, The Man Who Told Everything, Sulpher Man, Walk In Fire & Spaceface.

Ive seen them 10 times now (3 @ Glasto) and have heard all the tracks mentioned played live, and the best thing about them, and this is going to sound strange, is their ability to dissapoint set list wise.

Apart from the tour for Lost Souls i have never come out of a Doves gig less than ecstactic, but still wishing that they had dropped something else as well. Their catalogue is so big now its impossible for them to play every song i want to hear in 1 night

Edited January 22, 2009 by russycarps

[Tugger2k]

yeh I agree. I guess it's a nice problem for a band to have though - too many great songs.

The worst thing is, the glasto setlist will be a fraction of the one you posted as they wont be headlining. They have the songs to headline the pyramid easily, but no chance unfortunately. Didnt they play BEFORE the killers in 2006 (I think) on the pyramid? how only had one album out? utter disgrace

is there anybody who doesn't like Doves (coughs)?

[Tugger2k]

Im not a massive fan!!!!!!!!

[russycarps]

that was 2005, before the Killers and then the White Stripes.

2003 was the best, headlining the Other Stage sunday night, that was a great gig.

they also played the pyramid in 2002 and the other stage in 99 (which i missed for a reason i cant remember)

[Tugger2k]

ahhh didnt they clash with flaming lips/radiohead in 2003? I seem to recall nearly having a mental breakdown having to make that choice (lips won, just)
