Sorry.

I've just been on my Facebook on my phone and Best Kept Secret have boosted a post advertising The National, with the line:

 

"The National celebrates 10 Years if High Violet exclusively at Best Kept Secret." 

 

So would this be their only High Violet show in Europe?

I think it means in the Netherlands. I'm sure another one of their shows somewhere is High Violet.

Also presume, given the description, that one of the Brixton dates will be an HV show.

There's nothing stopping them playing all of HV, whether they bill it that way or not.

See I'm thinking neither of them will be, otherwise they would have actually said that...

Did they bill the Boxer shows as such in advance?

The only time I've known them do Boxer in full was for a rearranged show which they kept as a surprise. 

I just think if they were planning on doing HV they'd have said so (because thats what they've done elsewhere), rather than advertising it as something which reads as though they're going to play a bunch of different material from all over the shop each night. 

Anyway we'll find out in June I guess

Announcing that one of them is a HV show now would just piss off a lot of people who bought tickets for the other night.

I’d guess two completely different set lists split across both nights.

Yeah and I imagine with them having High Violet rehearsed they'll lean heavily on it. Probably end up playing all of it but across both nights or something.

I agree with this. 

So HV10 at Glastonbury, yeah?

Has anyone ever done an album in full show at the farm?

Primal Scream did Screamadelica a few years ago.

This could be the one and only time I’ve ever bought tickets from a tout...

I reckon you’ll be able to bag one on Twickets close to the time.

Back to sub the pyramid? Before Taylor Swift?

Yeah I’m hoping so. 

Sure there’ll be a few floating around.

Other headliner more probable this time I’d say.

Pet Shop Boys, Calvin Harris, Massive Attack, The National, Foals are all strong contenders for the other stage on the basis of what we think we know.

One of these artists just isn’t playing there and instead somewhere else. Who will it be? I feel that there’s a decent chance Foals are subbing the pyramid. 
 

I really feel that all four acts will be there. It’s just a matter of where.

All 5 acts ?

PSB, Calvin, The National seems balanced and would work well against the Pyramid headliners. 
 

I personally think the other 2 aren’t there. Maybe I’m wrong on Foals but if they want to headline the big one then they can’t play bridesmaid a second time.

Just looking at their tour dates again, if it were any other band we wouldn't be nearly so cautious in predicting them. Especially since those London shows have flown out.

[Divein]

I'm always very wary of getting my hopes up for them appearing at Glastonbury, ever since that year they announce a show in London on the Tuesday or something and I thought they were absolutely nailed on.
