The Smashing Pumpkins

[Justiceforcedave]

We'll get greatest hits with a couple of new ones thrown in, judging recent setlists/festival setlists from last year.

[Tuna]

Man, silverfuck would be so good.

[Amy Lawn]

I've been offered a ticket at face value for the Manchester Apollo show the day after, I think I'm going to take it..... AND STILL NOT SEE NICK CAVE! HA HA HA!

[FloorFiller]

looking at live videos of it from this year now, and although it doesn't look too bad at all, if we get Starz instead of... well... ANYTHING i will be very pissed off

[Amy Lawn]

How dare you?! Although, to be fair, if I wanted to see Pumpkins *that* much I would have bought a ticket for London...

Vampire Weekend are on before Nick Cave?! Brilliant. Truly brilliant.

[Justiceforcedave]

My buddy has tickets for Nick Cave this year (in October I think?) for both London shows and yet is still going to see him at Glasto despite loving the Pumpkins! Good to see some people doing it the other way round and evening the odds for me, even if I had Wembley tickets I'd still have to see them at Glasto because.... It's the Smashing Pumpkins at Glastonbury and it it's going to be fucking awesome!

Hey, WHAT IF -

- and, I realise, this is a really big WHAT IF -

But WHAT IF, 2013 ushers in the first ever Other Stage Legends slot?

The Smashing Pumpkins might play late afternoon on the Sunday - at about the same time as Kenny Rodgers.

That way, everyone - without exception - is happy forever and ever.

When the sun's going down and they bust out the opening chords of tonight, there won't be a dry eye in the house.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I have tickets to see Nick Cave in October. And I'm still seeing Nick Cave. If he'd done a gig before Glasto it might be different but I can't wait that long.

I love Vampire Weekend but they clash with PiL. Meaning I'll be at Other stage just before Pumpkins and have to tear myself away from them and my mates to see Nick Cave. It's going to be brutal! Given my emotional state on the Sunday there my may be tears.

But the crucial thing is I can't guarantee the Pumpkins will be any good. And I know Cave will be a highlight. Him sandwiched between VW and Mumfords doesn't work though. He should be headlining Other after Pumpkins.

[ninetyeightytwo]

Cave headlining the Other Stage would be ideal, but the Vampire Weekend/Nick Cave combo is going to make missing Smashing Pumpkins a lot less of an issue for me.

It's time for the weekly Pumpkins setlist check...

1. Quasar
2. Cherub Rock
3. Bullet with Butterfly Wings
4. The Celestials
5. Space Oddity
   (David Bowie cover)
6. X.Y.U.
7. Disarm
8. Tonite Reprise
9. Tonight, Tonight
10. Oceania
11. Ava Adore
12. Zero
13. Today

United states go chucked from this one, still no 1979 though. Again I'd be happy if we got this!

[Amy Lawn]

Yeah, there's no 1979, but it's still a wonderful setlist.

[FloorFiller]

i'd be happy with that. obviously because we've been keeping up to date with the setlists it doesn't seem like the most inspired one, but most of the hits (minus 1979 and Stand Inside Your Love) are there so it's a pretty good representation of what we'll get

shame the Space Oddity cover is a mainstay. i'm sure it'll be good but it's rather frustrating knowing it could've been another Pumpkins song

[Scotrsman]

I've gotta say the 'Space Oddity' cover is pretty amazing, saw them last July at Splendour in the Grass in Oz. Blinder of a set too.

[dentalplan]

That's not a very long set, appears it was a headline set too.

How many songs are we looking at getting?

[rexclark]

Would be quite happy with that setlist. I'd happily swap Space Oddity for 1979 (or even better Mayonaise) but the cover is quite good so that setlist is about as good as we can hope for.

[Justiceforcedave]

My only worry is that Today seems to be the encore tune.....really hope that doesn't get cut. That set, with a little suprise in it would be nice.

I dig the space oddity cover!

Tonight Tonight comes after Disarm. That's quite a dangerous combination. So many people will just have "something in their eyes".

I'm usually a cantankerous bastard, "bah, humanity is fucked, society is full of w*nkers" I'll say, but i can see myself weeping with joy and proclaiming my love for random Worthy Farm citizens in my vicinity.
