Elbow won't be playing this year

[russycarps]

They didn't play Fallen Angel last year

did they play powder blue mate?

unfortunately the success of SSK has ensured they now have a fanbase made up of loads of people who dont have a clue about their older stuff, meaning their live show is massively SSK heavy. A real shame, I reckon.

Fraid not. Any Day Now, Newborn and Scattered Black and White from Asleep in the Back.

Cannot describe just how good the show was and it was Guy's birthday as well so he got a nice Scottish singalong.

I didn't watch them last year on the Other stage and this is one of my regrets so, I'm a bit gutted they won't be returning to Worthy this year.

Guy did ask the crowd who had seen them before and it was probably about 50/50. Can see their logic in playing the bulk of SSK cause those who don't have the others would have left in such a high they would have gone and bought the first three albums on Saturday morning, or if 20 yrs younger than me they would download them

newborn @ latitude was beautiful last year - sun had just started to set, sky had turned orange/pink and the guys knocked that one out the park.

fair play mate, sounds like you got a reall good on there

[Red Day]

yes sorry I am not criticising the band at all, and SSK is so brilliant then it doesnt detract from the show at all that most songs come from there. I'm made up for them that they now have loads of new fans.

I am seeing them this weekend at wemley arena (crap venue) and I have been praying for powder blue. It's been far too long since I saw that live!

Something makes me think they'll play a surprise gig at Glasto. Basing that on nothing but a feeling.

I can tell you that, at least a few months back, they definitely didn't plan to. They've deliberately chosen to skip this year to get a good slot next year - remember they had a good slot last year.
