chemical brothers 2011

Having been lucky enough to see nearly all of my favorite bands in the world, bar Earth, wind and Fire and the Chemical Brothers live, what are the chances of either of them being at Glastonbury 2011. I have just seen Chems set from the Roundhouse in May on you tube, which my wife had booked a family hoilday to eygpt around!!!!!, and they looked fantastic. My life would be complete seeing them at Glasto.Any chance? <_<

I was at the Roundhouse on the Sunday, my god was it good. Hopefully they'll be able to bring their massive screen along as it looked awesome with the visuals.

Though I was disappointed they didn't play a lot of what I wanted to hear, it was still awesome. Here's hoping they'll play, as the Roundhouse shows were meant for the album showcasing, so next time should see more of the older collection.

I was gutted to miss them at The Roundhouse, but I could not see them and Faithless so I had to make a choice, which I did in the knowledge that The Chems were "definitely" going to be at Glastonbury in any case, d'oh.

Not that I can really regret my choice as Faithless nearly knocked me off my feet, (hippy tripping assisted) ;)

They are def doing some touring next year as my dad has reliably informed me the boys are playing at the Sydney Entertainment Centre the night he arrives in the city next March. Fingers crossed they return from playing elsewhere to Pilton by late June.

Tbh though, it will be very surprising if they don't do a second stage headline next summer.

I'm thinking all 3 dance acts on the Other Stage to go against the probable 3 Guitar based bands on the Pyramid (U2/Rolling Stones or Coldplay/Foo Fighters/Pulp)?

Wasn't it 2004 when they put Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx and Orbital on the Other Stage against Oasis, Macca and Muse?

Underworld would be far too big to headline Dance East.

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
    • I would be all over Wolf Alice but may have outgrown this venue.    Also have to consider the schedule they have been on this year so may be on a break.  This last 10 days alone they did Tramlines, New York, Chicago and Kendal Calling.  Although make hay while the sun shines may come into play.
