Hot Chip

[TheSeventhOne]

Hot Chip have dropped a huge hint that they will be playing at this year's Glastonbury festival.

The event, celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2010, takes place between 23-27 June at Pilton Farm.

Lead singer Alexis Taylor said: "You'll potentially see us in the Somerset area of the UK around the end of June I'd imagine.

"I have been to that part of the world and enjoyed being there. Nice cider there, good music and good atmosphere."

Hot Chip, who release their fourth studio album One Life Stand on 1 February, last appeared at the festival in 2008.

Tickets for Glastonbury 2010 have sold out.

Lovely! I'll be bang up for that. A fine wine of a band.

[LusciousLucy]

Fingers crossed they may play under the stars so everyone can see them instead of being stuck in a busy tent like the John Peel.

This makes me very happy

Their set in 2008 was utterly brilliant. Full on party, the whole crowd was smiling and dancing, and they were the very best I've ever seen them. Totally rose to the occasion.

The ending of Over and Over/Ready for the Floor/Privacy of our Love that turned into a cover of Nothing Compares 2 U put me in an amazing mood for Jay-Z; and I was pretty psyched to begin with!

Would be happy with them in the same slot

[Mardy]

Hooray! Good band. I'm off to see them in Leeds next month, really looking forward to it.

one of my favourite live bands great news

Hot Chip are a great addition, in my humble opinion.

The new album's really good too. It's pretty different from the previous two - slower, less dancey 80's electropop ballads. First song sounds like a cross between Fade to Grey and the Neverending Story.

this is marvellous news. I'm seeing them next month at Brixton but I'll take em again in Somerset in June!

it's around and about if you have a dig on the internet.

[tolywoly]

Is there new album out, thought it wasn't out until the start of Feb?

[kpins]

Great news. Amazing in 2008 and should be nailed on for a similiar slot, maybe warming up for Chems on the Sunday.

New album is easily better than their previous one I reckon.

[smim]

Woohoo! Hot Chip are effing brilliant live.

[tolywoly]

When does it come out?
