Keane on the sunday?

[jimmyt]

Keane have just announced June gigs next year and they are free on the Sunday, Last date booked being the 26th June 2010. I know they're not everyone's cup of tea (to be honest I'm not actually sure if they're mine but my girlfriend loves them) but does that make it inevitable that they will be there on the Sunday? Supporting The Verve?!!! (If you don't know, Richard Ashcroft gave them a right good slagging off from the Pyramid a couple of years ago).

Ashcroft is one to talk. His solo material was very MOR.

[Langdale Wolf]

More than likely I'd have thought. I actually really like Hopes and Fears but not that fussed about their later work.

And I daresay this thread will see more bashing of the band in question than average.....

Am I misunderstanding this or have I missed The Verve being muted for a Sunday slot next Year?

no idea, but The Verve are at their best when muted.

Don't really dislike the band, quite liked a few songs off the first album but not enough toi tempty me to go see them.

Plus I think it was ridiculous that the lead singer was in rehab for cocaine abuse, by the sounds of him it would be more likeley he was addicted to tea and french fancies.

I think most people would be delighted if they didn’t play. Me included. I’d rather spend 90 minutes doing the backstroke in the long drops.

Huh?

[russycarps]

Keane are a hideous band. File them alongside razorlight, snow patrol, kaiser chiefs. Christ, the "noughties" really did produce some truly terrible bands. Worst decade for music ever.

Has that hank of a lead singer come out of rehab for his port addiction then?

Yes unfortunately, and hes belting on about being in “a better place right now” and the like.

I reckon they'll be Other Stage headliners against Muse.

Now that's a toughie...

90 mins doing backstroke in the longdrops! Just the thought makes me feel ill!

If I'm honest I don't mind Keane. They are MOR without doubt, but I listen to them if I'm in the right mood for it. Is It Any Wonder is a great song and they have a few other gems in their catalogue too. Not sure I'd go see them though, agains depends on mood. Can't see me not finding something else to do at Glasto though.

[Toilet Duck]

...they were fine in '05. Up to my knees in mud so I couldn't be arsed moving...was pleasantly surprised by them.

[fatyeti24]

He is far too posh for french fancies!

Keane have some ok songs and don't understand why people can 'hate' them. They are quite beige in my view, nothing to unlike!

[Kyelo]

whether you meant it or not, that is one of the worst things you can say about a band. they're not good enough to love, not bad enough to hate, they're just pointlessly there. id rather see something so bad it made me angry than see something so bland it made me indifferent!

[henno32]

IMO bedshaped is a brilliant song, i wouldn't mind seeing Keane

[Helsbels]

I got forced into watching them in 2005 when I really didn't like them but was totally converted. I'd love to see them again at Glasto
