Levellers - probably playing!

[5co77ie]

BTW hasn't the bass player of The Waterboys just died?

[Bluearsedfly]

IIRC the Levs were on 3rd on the bill on the Saturday (before Lou Reed and the very odd choice of Shakespear's Sister as headliner. I was off watching The Shamen on the NME. Now that was a gig.

Before Carter on the Friday was James (replacing Morrissey) and Fishbone. How I remember all this through all the drugs of Glasto in those days I'm not quite sure. Halcyon days for the festival, certainly.

[5co77ie]

I'm sure Levellers have headlined, could that have been 1990?

The 1990 has no Lev's in that I can see

[spuddy09]

Only ever seen them in small indoor venues.Would be great to see them in the great glasto outdoors.

yup Pyramid 1992 Friday before Carter USM I think although I went to watch The Orb as I'd seen the Levs in the travellers Field previously.

do you remember Orb opening with the sound of horses charging around the stage/crowd/general vicinity then launching into the charge of the light brigade?

some proper wide-eyed and nearly scared individuals around after that

[Nyika]

Yaaaaaayyy, I saw them for the first time this year and it was an amazing gig, despite being stoney sober and being barged by a massive fat guy who made me bite my tongue really hard. Would love to see them on the pyramid!

[Pinhead]

The Blue Aeroplanes! Remember seeing them twice at Glasto - think they played in 2003 as well.

No but I should. Tickets still available? Have had to miss a few gigs in general recently so I could be persuaded.

[Karlhippy]

no matter what you think of the band, their music; image; ideals; etc - they are still one of the most important festival bands of the last 20 years. That's why they loved

[Ringo_Spar]

They played the Travellers Field in 1990 I think.

[morduejamie]

I'd love for them to play. I've liked them since I stole my dad's 'Levelling the Land' album.

[Mikeydread]

Surely not! another year of Levellers flyers everywhere then! Lol

[irons]

From what I heard, they will be playing. The Pyramid Stage, sometime over the weekend.

[Harrow Strongbow Ciderman!]

I remember reading somewhere the levs got the biggest crowd ever at glastonbury in 94 when headlining the pyramid stage. Mainly to do with the amount of fence jumpers that year and also because they were the festival band of the early 90s. I remember looking behind me and seeing the entire field packed as far as i could see. - great days.

[Harrow Strongbow Ciderman!]

From what I heard, they will be playing. The Pyramid Stage, sometime over the weekend.

[irons]

Pyramid or Jazzworld or whatever Stage/Tent they will get a good crowd & great news they gonna be back at Glasto for the 40th anniversary.
