Just been reading an article about the new album 'Build A Rocket Boys!'. Is anyone else a little worried about Guy's mentioning of writing the album with arenas in mind?

I love Elbow's 'bigger' sounding music. But it's always the subtle, slow burners, that make them great. In my humble opinion.

Loving the new track! I am so hoping that they play this year. I would get tickets for the O2 but can't afford it with so many things to pay for before June. It would just be amazing... they have to be there!

Just got my tickets for the warm up gig in Cambridge on 2nd March, how chuffed am I! can't wait to see them again in such a small intimate venue. (850 capacity I think) Should be a cracking evening

Fingers crossed now for Glasto, nailed on I would have thought!

I notice from their site that they are playing at a festival in Luxembourg on the Sunday of Glasto. I reckon they will either headline the other stage or be 2nd bill on the Pyramid on the Friday or Saturday.

Seeing them in Brighton 27th March thanks to a lovely Xmas present from my Sis and her husband. :)

I think I may have just had my first moment of clash anxiety for the coming fest. Really excited about Jimmy Cliff earlier and thought "that's my Friday headline slot sorted" then just remembered that with the Luxembourg gig, Friday is probably the most likely day for Elbow, who I can't help think will be Other Stage headliners.

That would really angst me out. Would probably have to go with Elbow though. But then, I've never seen Jimmy. And I'm seeing Elbow in March in Sheffield. And I don't really like the Other Stage that much.

AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! I'm doing it already........ :(

Headlining the Pyramid or Other surely, Probably Other. Regardless, if they are there I'll be watching them.

Out of curiosity, anyone else think Leaders of the Free World is a better album than Seldom Seen Kid? I get shot down for voicing this opinion often, just wondered if anyone at all agreed with me.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
