The National....?

[Rock_and/or_Roll]

They have a new album in May, their tour ends on June 16th in New York and they are then playing the Super Bock Super Rock festival in Portugal on July 16th.

Quite possible they will play Glasto? I really hope so at least!

[LEDZEP66]

I hope so, couldn't get tickets last time they played.

Towards the top on John Peel I should imagine

Awesome band

Hopefully there'll be a few more people to see them than their sparsely attended headline slot in 08

In all fairness, they were up against The Verve, Groove Armada, My Morning Jacket and UNKLE. I solved that dilemma by leaving early to help soothe and earth-shattering comedown after a ridiculously messy Saturday night and Sunday morning

[MrZigster]

Damn, I was expecting horse racing tips.

[ilovelanegan]

True, true.

I dunno, I loved it in 2008, but from a personal perspective, they booked a few North American "indie" bands of the caliber that don't usually play Glastonbury, and I was hoping it might be a seachange and we might start getting bands more like the types that play at ATP, but no one came to see them. Disappointed me

[Dog Burger]

Yes please. I'd be all over this. Slow Show is one of my favourite songs of the past few years.

I love this band but hoping there next album is happy! Haha I could be in the happiest care free mood of my life, put the national on and a while later I realise I'm now in deep thought over lifes issues. But then it's also quite comforting if u are upset about somethink and then stick it on

[De Coverley]

New album out on May 10th and there's a nice little gap at the end of June/beginning of July in their tour. Saw them in 2008 and thought they were great, didn't get much of a crowd from what I remember though.

If their new album is anywhere near as good as Boxer it will be in the running for my album of the year. Although the new LCD Soundsystem album is out in the same month as well so there's some stiff competition.

ahh the national, one of their tracks is used in chuck

love it, where would they play though - jazz ?

[biscant]

Abel come on give me the keys man

I really hope so - their Royal Albert Hall gig has tickets going for silly money on ebay. They're also doing a date in Camden but that must've sold out in no time at all. Alligator and Boxer are both brilliant albums so hopefully the new one will be too. I just hope they don't have a slot headlining the Park with other equally good bands on!

[padders]

wandered into the tent at wireless a few years and heard a few songs by them - blew my head off completely - a rarity when that happens - really hope they play

[mario man]

Boxer and Alligator are wonderful albums, can't wait for the new one. I only got into them last year so missed them in 08, would love to see them at Glasto. Nice hole in their tour dates at present so a possibility

[ilovelanegan]

Had no idea they were playing the Electric Ballroom too - that was kept quiet! Along with missing ut on BRMC tickets, I am not best chuffed. Not making same mistake THREE times tho- Lanegan tickets are in the bag!

[Rock_and/or_Roll]

I hope they do headline one of the stages. I would definitely see them over any of the main stage headliners!

One new song. There are a few more floating around somewhere. Can't wait for the new album. If it lives up to their past 4 albums it'll be THE album of the year.

[russycarps]

can anyone post the setlist to their 2008 show?

[robith]

They didn't announce their Electric Ballroom show - they just put it up on last.fm to try and avoid the levels of touting going on for the RAH show.

Thankfully I have perceptive friends who let me know
