Who wants ELBOW to play?

[dingbat2]

I have read Neil's comments about Elbow being unlikely to play this year. But he also mentioned they "could be convinced" if they either receivd a late offer or finished the album early. I feel it is our duty to convinvce them to play this year - the best ever Glasto pefformance I have experienced was their Queens Head gig in 2008

So please join with me with the petition...

"ELBOW - PLEEEEAAAAASE PLAY THIS YEAR!!!"

[18Alex18]

I want to see them but only to see what all the fuss is about. I've never really got into their albums too much but everyone raves about their live performances.

[Langdale Wolf]

I think he meant convinced by the organisers!!

Would love to see them there as much as anyone, but que sera sera and all that.

Fingers crossed anyway.

[Neeeeeedles]

Whatever petition is going, im signing up to.

Although i doubt they will, ELBOW PLAY!

[tevaburger]

why should they play this year when they'll be in line for a headline pyramid slot next year after releasing yet another wonderful album and playing a sellout tour in late 2010 to perfectly set them up for 2011.

[Sabcully]

Please, please, please !!!

PLAY

Why are people such poor readers? I said no such thing.

I said that I'd heard (from what should be an excellent source) that they might accept a late booking *IF* they finish their album earlier than they think they will.

That's something completely different to what you claim above.

[biigsybmx]

you are deluded if you think they will be a pyramid headliner next year!

Love them, they have to play x peace x

[russycarps]

They (well, Guy and Craig) are also producing I Am Kloot's new album which is taking longer than previously expected. I wonder if this will have any bearing?

This album will be nothing short of sensational. I heard a couple of the new tracks when I saw them in London the other month. Despite being horribly drunk, one of them made me just stare in awe with my mouth agape. It was phenomenal. No idea what the name of it was.

[russycarps]

Erm.. thanks, Russy!

It's gone very quiet on 'The Sky At Night' front. But they need to tell us stuff. Ideally, a release date, a link to buy an enhanced version with accompanying DVD and a slot on either the Park Stage or the Acoustic Tent this June.

[Langdale Wolf]

I agree on all counts. I predict this album will win them a mercury music prize and they will go on to be as big in the UK as they are in europe (they are adored in holland, probably due to the name!)

[ramragon]

id love to see them play, saw them in 2008 from right down the front and the mood summed the festival up perfectly. cant see them headlining the pyramid, make a great warm up for u2 or stevie wonder though.

[Jailbreak]

I would looooooooooove them to play, missed them on their last tour, and have really got into them recently! Didnt they support U2 last year?

[wigstonmania]

i hope they dont

[russycarps]

Nah. Won't happen.

I predict that this album will be as amazing as the 4 criminally overlooked albums they've previously produced, but it won't make a dent in the media. The fans will lap it up, but the people out there still mopping up their bollock yoghurt from Florence and the Machine's latest 'offerings' won't even know it's there.

I honestly have no idea quite how this magnificent bad are as underrated as they are.

[Langdale Wolf]

You know I would normally agree with you on this but, and you will not believe this, the NEWS OF THE WORLD of all papers had a small review of the I Am Kloot Manchester gig. And gave it 4/5 stars! I was staggered a rag such as that would have even heard of Kloot, let alone reviewed and published the review! I think this band are slowly coming into the publics consciousness.

PS I did NOT purchase said paper, I read in on the tube as it was dumped on the seat.

[JimOfTheJungle]

+1 for elbow to come back for the 40th. One of my highlights, if not the highlight, of 2008.

[4AssedMonkey]

Please play Elbow.
