Mew?

[Messiah Jason]

Just seen that Mew have been confirmed for Latitude so I'm just wondering if there's any chance they'll get announced for Reading, would love to see them personally.

No idea how popular they are over here so any thoughts over were they'd go if they were to play? Saturday FR headliner would be nice in an ideal world...

[thomasowen]

no way would they headline, they played a small town near me last year, NOBODY plays this town so they can't be that popular.

[Messiah Jason]

Yeah the headlining thing was just hoping really 'cause I don't really like any of the bands headlining saturday at the moment. I think they did headline a stage at V in 2006, clased with Radiohead though so I missed them

[luckysalt]

They didn't headline at V in 2006, but they were last but one on and mew and the other acts slots were over the span of Radioheads slot so yeah I missed them too, gutting, would love to see mew

[inspectedinspector]

They're playing a fest in Belgium weekend before so maybes

[brighteyes]

Hope so, would be awesome. They'd definitely justify a slot high up FR stage.

[tombenj]

Mew're excellent live, I'd love it if they played the FR stage.

I see they have been announced as supporting NIN/JA on the two UK dates, I will have to check them out.

[tomisnothere]

looking forward to see them on the NIN|JA tour

i would like them to be announced, so fingers crossed!

[TurnsLeftLooksRight]

Also seeing them on the NIN|JA tour, though I don't know what to think of them yet. Only heard a couple of songs...

[thomasowen]

I've only just realised people are refering to Janes Adiction and NIN, I thought they were talking about a band called NINJA!

Anyway, that is a really weird choice to support, I haven't even heard from Mew in 3 or 4 years.

[fowls]

They're quite good. Surprising choice though. Doesn't quite seem to fit.

[kaosmark2]

I can see why artistically. With all the animations Mew have a similar kind of ethos to a live show to NIN, albeit totally different music styles.

I really hope Mew play Reading, but I'm going to Latitude to be safe. They were ace in 2005. Could see them being high up on the FR tent for sure.

[Tristan]

Possibly because their last album (and I think UK tour) was in 2005.

[glimmers_of_hope]

I would love it if Mew played.

They would be fairly high up on the FR stage I would hope but last time they played Norwich it was only the Arts Centre which is 150 - 200 capacity.

I've seen them a few times and they blow me away.

I think they are quite rocky in places I can kind of see the NIN thing....but it feels an odd fit. I guess the fans who enjoy the more cerebral and obtuse NIN stuff most, will dig them.
