Wellyboot Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Wonder what prompted the SR status. Were they down as rumour in the first place or is it "brand new information" I really hope they play and am clutching at any kind of festival straw Pretty sure they were down as a rumour.. SR is brilliant news if it actually happens!! Not sure where its stemmed from though not complaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarion Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Weren't they "SR" for a while last year as well? Not getting my hopes up until it changes to "TBC". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not getting my hopes up until it changes to "TBC".Yep.There was a strong chance of them playing last year - there was (so we heard) talk between Glasto and the band - but for whatever reasons it didn't happen.The same "didn't happen" might happen again this year for all we know, but from what we're hearing it's looking a good possibility.

Mackem Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Headlinin John Peel or too big ? Subbing Other is more like I I think They did that a few years back. Think they've moved on since then. I'm not a big fan of the John Peel - too old for the front and too short for the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Any rumblings about which day, Neil? Can't remember/see any dates that would rule them out of any particular day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwaite123 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Great news, was gutted they didn't play last year, 3rd on the pyramid would be my guess Edited January 28, 2014 by cwaite123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'd say 3rd on the Pyramid too. Have long suspected they'd pop up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosj Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 YES! Very exciting. Provided, of course, that I get a ticket. Wonder where they'll be placed? You all coming up t'North to see them in Manchester this month. That will definitely be FR NFC over those Pennines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Burger Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Just had to check I hadn't imagined that quote about them not being asked last year. This is what Matt said: The National used the stage at London's Roundhouse to reveal that they weren't allowed play the Glastonbury festival which takes place this weekend. Frontman Matt Berninger introduced High Violet track "England" by saying, "This one's dedicated to anyone heading to Glastonbury tomorrow..... We wanted to play but we were refused."

Reading between the lines, then, I wonder whether they wanted too much money or a more prominent slot than Glastonbury were prepared to offer...

mrtourette Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) That's one way of putting things I suppose. I think Matt said at their gig around the time that "they didn't want us", what I assume happened is that 10 minutes later he covered his mouth and wispered "on the same terms that we wanted in order to play".EDIT: proven wrong again.
