The Cribs

So Happy

Supposed to be on a 2 year hiatus, didnt expect this at all.

Looks like its a one off gig aswell, no other festivals announced.

Might be without Johnny Marr, hope so.

Johnny Marr is clearly the reason they are on such a long break.

The Cribs hate not touring

[hard2explain]

Personally absolutely love the Smiths and Johnny Marr but IMO I would much prefer to see them without him. I don't think he's "ruined" them as such, like everyone says but I do think he sent them in the wrong direction for that 3rd album. Also the atmosphere when it's just the three of them - unbeleivable!

haha yes agreed massive cribs fan they were better before the NME tour and jonny marr!

i dont dislike jonny but i dont think he adds anything to the band and just makes them act older than they are!

its all doom and gloom with the songwriting since he came in! 1st and 2nd album for the win.

Dont think he could have affected the 3rd album but definitely would have the 4th. he joined in between the two didnt he.

Although I'm not overly excited about The Cribs playing they are one of the best live acts going. the only problem is over exposure. they play constantly, i think a break would've did them good.

headlining a tent on the saturday night, nice one.

Not a huge fan of the Chemical Brothers

[themangus]

No, self-announced that they are 'headlining the tent on Saturday Night'

f**k Aye.

The Cribs are gonna be mental. Headlining a tent. Awesome.

Will be maybe my 7th or 8th time seeing them.

Yasss! Totally agree with the fact the band were better before the Johnny Marr days.. hope they do it as a 3 piece.. would be good to see Martell etc back on the setlist!

i love the cribs, but the last time they played rockness their performance was a bit half arsed.

i'll be a wee bit gitted if they are headlining a tent on the saturday night because i'll have to miss them for thr chemical brothers.

why are people saying "if they headline on saturday"?

They are - they have confirmed it themselves

Since they don't have a record of any sort to promote, I'm hoping for a good chunk of old Cribs stuff
