cheers for that - now to find out when tickets go on sale!

[random_man]

So I've just seen - a code is needed (from the website too)

The Knife are playing northside festival in denmark, 2 weeks before glasto, so they will play festival gigs.

£27 a ticket for the Roundhouse gig!

Fingers crossed for Glasto then! I have a feeling they may headline Latitude. Just a feeling, no proof just a feeling

[chestwig]

Who can we suggest this too to get them booked?

Anyone else in the race for tickets this morning? The website has crashed already. This is like Glastonbury all over again!

What a nightmare getting tickets today! Had no chance - Seetickets sold out in less than a minute and the roundhouse website had a que of over 1,000 at 9 o clock! Absolutely gutted Hope they play Glasto so much now!

[chris_top_her]

Might just be me that cares but they have added Northside Festival in Denmark on Jun 14th to their tour! VERY PROMISING!

[Ovechkin]

This site claims that they will play Way out west festival in Sweden in august:

http://www.festivalrykten.se/the-knife-sags-vara-klar-for-way-out-west/

Quick translation: They're backed by the same company that runs Way Out West, similar story as when Way out west got Refused last year as an exclusive when every festival in Sweden wanted them.

Which would eliminate them from the 2 biggest festivals in Sweden, Bråvalla Festival and Peace & Love, which both happen to be on the same weekend as Glastonbury.

coincidence? i think not!

[Ovechkin]

And they're confirmed for Way Out West festival 8-10 august:

[Ovechkin]

you guys reckon the announcement for Bestival will make them less likely to appear at Glasto?

I got so psyched after the new single

No, If you believe the Bestival news post here

[chestwig]

Yep. Once again Glastonbury to slow off the mark to book the quality acts!!

I'm just pleased I got tickets to see them in Berlin.

[chris_top_her]

They were always gonna play bestival I reckon, just depends how much they wanna tour, it's not an exclusive headliner slot I wouldn't have thought and they are doing a lot of festivals...

[LondonTom]

hmmm :S It seems like they edited that text? Now you can read this:

"We’re also very pleased to announce the welcome return of psychedelic bliss merchants The Flaming Lips playing a UK festival exclusive set, off the wall Swedish art-pop duo The Knife, rap music revolutionaries Wu-Tang Clan the unpredictably chameleonic Bombay Bicycle Club playing an English festival exclusive set and neo-soulsters The Roots playing a UK Festival exclusive set."

[Ovechkin]

Oh thats interesting! They did seem to be putting in english/uk exclusive just about everywhere so maybe a mistake!
