Frank Turner

[dixietheduck]

Some people who went to Frank Turner's last minute gig in Manchester last night are saying that he self confirmed for Glasto - I had previously thought this was unlikely given that he has mainland Europe tour dates either side of Glasto weekend. What does everyone think?!

Really hope he is playing, best bit of last year for me was seeing Frank Turner, Beans on Toast and of course Billy Bragg at Bill's Big Round up in the Leftfield tent :-)

would be great if he played, the friend i go to glasto with is a huge fan.

really hope this is true!

[Wooderson]

Yay!!!

Lol

[festival_badger]

Hope he comes plays again, watching him last year with a guy i'd only met a couple of days before was real highlight of last year.

This needs to become reality.

Just starting to get into him and a bit gutted now I didn't see him last year.

I'm very much keeping my fingers crossed about this one!

[Mardy]

Really hope so. Not overly optimistic, but fingers crossed

Headline the pyramid, thursday night.

He said something fairly ambitious like 'see you all at the festivals'. I was at the second show though, he may have said something different earlier on. To be honest it would surprise me if he didn't play, why else would he leave a 3 day gap in his tour dates?

I'm not too bothered though because it will never be as good as last night

FT was amazing at Left Field last year. Would love to see a repeat.

He's playing another pub gig tonight in Leeds if anyone nearby wants to pop down and ask him.

[norainplease]

I really hope so too, was at his Aberdeen gig a few weeks ago and he played a few new songs and they were really good! He was one of my highlights on 2009

Saw him in Strummerville last year, his cover of Dancing Queen was quality!

[howlin_pete]

Think there was an interview with him, or a post on his forum, where he said he was talking to some festivals and named glasto and r/l specifically, hence why there are SR on here. But hes since been announced for download, so who knows if anythings changed. Wouldn't mind seeing him, always really enjoyed him live but seen him plenty of times

Would of thought he probably would do. Despite them dates the first poster, posted. If not we're pretty much guaranteed Beans on Toast to play.

Would be awesome if he plays. Going to see him at the Strummerville Spring Sessions in April and then Portsmouth in May.

[chewbacca]

he is now a strong rumour for avalon stage on friday... does anybody know why? and which position do you think would he play there?

[elfimaju]

I think someone mentioned in another thread that he is headlining Avalon on Friday night. I'd be gutted about that as I really want to see U2 but loooove Frank too. However, I've seen Frank about 4 times since last year's LF show so would probably stick with U2 if this is the clash. I'm not a huge U2 fan but I think it will be a talking point of this year's Glastonbury so I'll check it out - however I'll make sure I'm on the side of the Pyramid that will let me make a quick dash to Avalon if its dirge!

[Red Day]

That would a complete pain in the erse if he clashes with U2.

[pukkaone]

Seeing him in Strummerville was a definite highlight last year! (when I finally found the place!).

double duty with a early pyramid slot, go on frank, go on

[jjbeeson]

Second that. U2, Elbow, PS, friendly Fires, Fleet foxes and Frank turner, can't they spread the goodness to the other days

[Retrofunkdaddydave]

Very excited about Frank Turner, was lucky enough to play a show with him earlier on this year. He's a really nice chap. For anyone that's interested, here he is introducing my band/not hugely funny comedy act.
