Sufjan

[grouchland]

You know it makes sense.

I don't know about the different stages but whatever one he would be good on, with at least a two hour length set so we can get Impossible Soul.

[Ricochet]

Acoustic I think. Please.

[Cooter]

Yep agree would be good, either Acoustic or even Avalon. A two hour set, rare anywhere at Glasto unless its the relentless Wurzels! Good as they are I hasten to add.

[grouchland]

Acoustic? I've never been to Glasto but I always imagine that's for folky type stuff. Even 6 or 7 years ago he had big f**k off orchestration on everything, and tAoA has a load of electronics and that on it

[Cooter]

"big f**k off" doesn't mean anything down on the farm. Big f**k off things happen on large and small stages alike, sometimes even secretly.

[grouchland]

Oh, ok, whatever. I've never been but I assumed the name 'acoustic' meant it would be primarily quieter stuff and that.

[Bort]

He's apprehensive about playing festivals.

[Mardy]

The new album is very far from Acoustic, not a problem really, don't foget Portishead played the Acoustic way back when, but he doesn't really seem to fit in with that stage. More suited to the Park, I think.

(I'm really not sure about him, the new album is alright, but I don't really get the hype, it's pleasant enough stuff, but not life changing)

[Badlands]

I've only recently finally got round to listening to Illinoise after having a copy for ages. Most impressive.

And for some reason i always get him and Devendra Banhart mixed up.

[TheSeventhOne]

Too twee for me. And he's a pretentious w*nk.

[Jackmypie]

Jon Peel for sure...

[BlackHole2006]

Jon Peel for sure...

Jon Peel for sure...

[Jackmypie]

If your going to spell his name. Spell it right.

[spuddy09]

Oh I'm sorry! Didn't mean to offend you!

[Jackmypie]

No worries man.Enjoy

[Bort]

One of the greatest shows I have ever seen.

This first video is very spoilery, because there's a major spectacle involved with the new songs.

Stunning even without the mushroom-fueled insanity:

[Leyser]

Although I love Sufjan I have also heard he is apprehensive about playing festivals (as said above). He stage show is fairly large and takes a long time to set up, so it would be hard to fit him in. That being said he could do an acoustic based show, but I can't see that happening considering his new album being more electronic

[When Jokers Attack]

I love the new album so much.

[5co77ie]

He's just been confirmed for Spain's Primavera Sound at the end of May.

[Bort]

He's playing in the auditori on Thursday and Friday. Guess I'll be missing the Friday set since I'll be camped out at the main all day for Pulp.

[sweet and tender hooligan]

I was insanely excited about the Primavera line up before this morning's announcement - now I'm somewhere in the stratosphere and worrying about all the clashes. Would imagine he will play with The National too if logistically possible, he often does if they're in the same airspace.

Sorry, I realise this is a bit off topic for the Glastonbury Forum. I'll stop being giddy in a bit. Possibly.

[robith]

The Sufjan in the AQuditori thing has pissed me off no end.

They did this last year with Low, meaning you had to queue up for hours and pay 2 euro for a ticket to see them. Nonsense. I won't be doing it on principle

[Diamond Solitaire]

WOW the Primavera line up is incredible. Really wish I could go

Really hope Sufjan is going to be at Glasto, the shows he's been doing for Age of the Adz sound amazing
