Doves

[Bluearsedfly]

whats the source of this??

[Tugger2k]

I was speaking to Jimi's hairdresser and he said that they were disappointed that they were going to miss Neil Young as they were on at the same time.

Then why the f**k did they choose JP over another slot on the Other stage?

[ukdannyb]

So far so good, I'll definitely see Doves over Neil Young. Do we know the Friday headliner on the Other Stage yet?

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

thats NOT fair.. they can't make me choose between them and neil young

i cant believe im going to say this...............

but if want to catch NY, then catch him, doves are not going away soon and this might be your last chance to see NY

having said that, ive seen doves 12 times before, and never seen NY, AND i'll be seeing doves at latitude or lovebox, and im STILL choosing doves over the great man

If its true Doves are doing the JP on the Friday then I'm pretty gutted , as Ol' Shakey is my probably my all time songwriting hero and missing him headlining the greatest festival in the world is just NOT an option.

A shame as they would have been perfect for a slot just before Neil Young on the main stage, but it seems that bloody Lily Allen is pencilled in for that one. I heard they were initially offered an afternoon slot on the main stage, which they declined as they wanted the late evening vibe their music suits. If you ask me Emily Eavis has messed up here big time and has grossly underestimated their popularity. They would even have been great on the sunset-ish slot that Elbow did last year. Plus the JP tent will be proper rammed.

But if you get in it'll be f**king ace though.

Anyone go to the Doves gig in Leeds last night? Let us know how good/bad it was.

They're sounding pretty marvellous at the Radio 1 Big Weekend thing on the red button now!

[stuartbert two hats]

I wish they had a slot on Other. Surely they're of headlining size these days?? They said they wanted to play in a tent before they got too big to be able to, but I think they've missed the boat already on that one.

Just heard Winter Hill used as background music on Countryfile. Along with KOR on Sky's footy, Jetstream on Sky's cricket looks as if all the new album will end up on various TV progs. What next - House of Mirrors as background on Gok Wan's How to Look Good Naked?

A good point about being able to see Doves again but possibly not NY.

Do Doves still swap instruments about? When I saw them at Wembley they did. They where superb, that was 2000. The first time I questioned whether a support act was better than who I was there to see (Oasis)...... The second was a few years later and their support act was Mr Ashcroft, in that case there as no doubt about it!

I didn’t really know them then though but IV got quit into them since. New album is best Iv listened to for ages. Dunno know, Il have to see how I feel near the time

NOOOOOOOOOOOO :'(

doves are clashing with neil young! well. im going to see neil then RUN from the end of his set to JP. hopefully catch a bit of it. Somehow i think they may well finish about the same time though

Doves - can see at other opportunities

NY - when are you going to see him again, if ever?

obvious choice for me

you'd be wasting your time - NY will finish no earlier than 00:20, and no later than 00:30. Doves will finish by 00:30 too.

[Tugger2k]

Oh no its just as we feared - the one clash I didn't want.

[Tugger2k]

Well, yeah. They headlined the Other Stage about 5 years ago. And were brilliant. But I think they'll be great in a tent. It's a whole different atmosphere than on the open-air stages. I'll just have to get there early, 'cause it will be packed! I'd much rather see them than Neil Young! I've seen Doves loads of times over the years, but only once this year (last week in Bristol). And before that not since Glasto 2005!! Suffering from Doves withdrawal. I'd almost forgotten how good they are live!
