that Ash will be plating the John Peel stage this year! The drummer told my friend who was interviewing him for radio. I am not a massive Ash fan but I saw then at Glasto before and they were good. So just thought i would share this info with you peeps!

Roll on June !!!!!!!

I can't remember why I like Ash. I seem to remember them being alright. Will definitely hunt them down if they are playing.

[bob parkhurst]

Apparently the guitaist from Bloc Party is taking the part of Charlotte Hatherly for this current part of their never ending tour.

I'm going to see them at the end of April so I'll see if they're any better with the extra body

[mikeb]

Exxxxxcellent Not seen them since they played in 2002 so defo well up for a bit of this and a jolly good reason to wander off in a JP Tent stylee direction for a change into the bargain !

Great news.

[G1T]

That's brilliant news! Great to see them finally back in the small bands tent, after the ridiculousness of their sorry arses getting onto the pyramid stage one time.

Sorry, i know we shouldn't slag off bands on here and so on. But really, i was there in '96, Ash were second rate and over hyped then ('they're great because they're so young / the drummer's still doing his A Levels' and so on).

I'd really hate to think that the popular feeling at the time had been forgotten with the rose tinted spectacles of the past.

Nice one, they wasn't bad at all at Hop Farm last year, cept my sister got bored and wanted to go find shade >_>

[G1T]

You must have been lonely. You, a field of cows and Ash. I think you should try them again. They might be better with a stage and a crowd!

[Funkyfairy!]

Cool - not a bad band live

Saw them last October, some decent tunes- good singalong to Shining light ....

Nice one

[Laura_Babs]

Yay! Every single year I have gone to Glastonbury, had a fab time but not ever been hugely bothered about the bands that are playing. This year seems so far as though it will be my year!

[jimmyt]

No, i mean '96, the year they became big in the charts, played the manchester academy, were on TOTP and so on.

Did see them at Glasto though, sure it was 1999 before Hole when Bush cancelled, but wikipedia says otherwise. Hmm.

They sucked then too.

[ramragon]

really liked the first album, wouldnt mind catching them live.

would be interesting to see where they play if they appear on the JP stage

[OneLittleFish]

Great news! f**king love Ash!

[robith]

I never fully know how I feel about Ash

They have a real eye for a killer pop tune.

They also have an unabashed penchant for dross filler on their album - and in recent years the dross/killer ratio has been massively weighted to the former.

They can be really hit and miss live. I've seen them a couple of times and they've been outstandingly good fun. A couple of other times it's been full on phoned in.

Still, good news overall, JP tent is the best for them. Nice hot and sweaty, let's play Goldfinger

[tim26]

I'm quite excited by the prospect of Ash, was going to look for some last minute tickets on their upcoming tour but may wait now. Surely they will headline the JP tent should they play there??

[crashnburn]

thought they were ok live at reding in 06 went mental at gig and my glasses fell off at the front i somehow manged to find A SEVERLY trampled glasses thanks to some very nice people in the crowd and they bizarreily still worked after wards
