I like what I've heard, and I've also seen her live at Brixton with the NME tour (Glasvegas, White Lies, Friendly Fires).

She was great. It was a rather large venue for her to perform in, but she had the crowd enjoying themselves.

I'm looking forward to the album, and I'll see you at the JP stage when she's on.

Saw her on the NME tour, and at Leeds last year - was easily the surprise highlight of the weekend at Leeds, and very good on the tour, not sure what she'll be like on a bigger stage though (can't remember, isn't it the other stage they're playing? :unsure: )... definitely worth catching anyway, one of the best new voices around atm ;)

Edit: Ooh, John Peel stage, sorry about that >.<

I saw her at Brixton earlier this year when her dress fell apart and she had to finish the performance in her undies. A model professional and the boys down the front thoroughly enjoyed it

I saw her last year up at Trash City on the Friday I think, after receiving tip-offs on this very forum. She was excellent, despite it not being particularly busy up there at the time. We also went to see her again in the Queen's Head on the Sunday, where she was again excellent.

The wife went to see her at a church in Salford last night and said it was the best she'd seen her, and one of the best gigs she's been to (she's been to a LOT of gigs, working in music) and will most definitely be seeing her at this year's Glastonbury.

My Florence and the Machine story..

At the end of last year I was chatting with Harry Enfield (I'm not normally so cool, it was the Eye annual signing after an Evening with Private Eye at the NT!), and he said to me "Have you heard of Florence and the Machine?". Strangely I had seen the name somewhere, but didn't know the music, so to be safe I said "No". "Well", he replies, "you're not cool then". Apparently they were No 17 in the Observer "Cool List" for 2009. Quick as a flash, I replied "Where are you on the list", and he just glared at me!

THE GLORIOUS ONE-TIME WIT, MR SAM CRAWLEY, TRIUMPHS!!

Anyway, I'll go back to being an anonymous broke loser now! :P

      2027 Headliners

      By Superscally · Posted

      It was great, but I don't know why they continue to play Wide Lovely Eyes and Rings of Saturn, which are the weakest of the tracks off both PTSA and ST. Well, I do. It's cos they're about Suzie, so he can sing what he wants. They're the low points of the set. The rest is ace.

      I didn't this time, but I've seen them before and just because you saw both that night doesn’t mean you can compare them. The Stones were great, but.you didn't think so and you went somewhere else looking for a good time and you found it. For whatever reason you didn't like it, but you were an outlier and all the reviews said they were great.

      Annie Lennox could be the one to unite the whole forum, nobody has a bad word to say about her, even noted curmudgeon Skip 😄 I'd probably even amble along for a bit meself, and i'm also a miserable sod

      If the below link works - thats interesting.   While I don't particularly put much stock in that account as a source (never seen it before though, tbf), and I can pick a hole or two (see below) in what he says - the timing of it is a week before I had the Fontaines '27 stadium info (same stadium he says on there, Tottenham). The info, or part of it, matches up.   Holes I'd pick: I'd have to watch again but I THINK he says 'end of year' for Tottenham - not possible, for a number of reasons, though he's probably just got his words mixed up there. It's Summer '27, or that's what I've been told. He also says Glastonbury is/would be based on how the album does. That doesn't stack up to me, unless it was a 2028 thing. I suppose that could stack up, i.e a verbal agreement for 2028, but still seems a bit of an odd approach. I would personally still expect it to be 2027 alongside the stadium gigs, IF they are gonna do it, though I've still not got a Scooby when the album is gonna drop, only that the tour is due for Spring (or early) next year.   Interesting, nonetheless.   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaOB3Q9qkwW/

      I was hoping that they would just do a tour like they were set to in 2020, rather than having Download as their UK appearance. If they are at DL, I would be surprised to see them headline. I think they sub under Deftones or SOAD
