Bjork

[bennyhana22]

Bjork's just announced 2 more festivals, they're both in July so that puts her out and about between 5th of June for The Governors Ball and Ostrava Festival on the 16th of July

so she's definitely up for doing festivals, she's playing gigs between the festival time and she's played before

I'm certainly hopefully she's going to make an appearance

That's made me really nervous now...

...I had kind of resigned myself to her NOT playing GF as she wanted to do venues that could accomodate the orchestra etc.

Now I know she is, I've got this horrible feeling that GF will lose her to an exclusive at Latitude or Bestival...

I think that the Latitude people have said that one of their 10th anniversary headliners will be someone they've been trying to get for ages. Don't let it be Bjork! Or if it is, not a UK exclusive...

Other headliner

Against Coldplay

Sorted

[The Placid Casual]

Probably gonna be at Latitude though

[Guest]

Hopefully Latitude have Portishead, and Glastonbury will get Bjork, and I will get a ticket NFiR NFC.

Do Lattitude or Bestival have a history of getting exclusive acts?

Bjork clashing with Coldplay would be perfection

[Guest]

Melvin Benn of Latitude bloody loves a good exclusive, even when they aren't that exclusive.

2011 - Bjork was a worldwide outdoor festival exclusive in headlining Bestival

Thats good news, theres a chance then. I like the new album.

Did anyone else read that in their head in her Icelandic accent?!

Yep, i love her voice , talking and singing, i am going to be a complete hypocrite when her tour is announced , if i do not get a ticket when they are on sale i will just have to use.............. sorry to say a fucking touting site! I really have to see her live, never done so and i don't care if i go on my own as no-one i know is into her.

I only got to see her once so far, Ghandi - Wolverhampton Civic on the Volta tour. Acoustics there are very hit and miss - can be great, but also worst sound I ever had at a gig was there for Supergrass in ninety ninety whatever. But Bjork was mesmeric - particularly the Medulla songs, which are amazing live. She seems to have retained a few of those (Pleasure is all mine, Who is it etc) foir a while now and hope that she continues to, as they sit beautifully with songs from Vulnicura (still loving it more each listen) and Vespertine.

I think " Pleasure is all mine" and " Who is it " are the best tracks off Medulla, can't get into the rest of the album though, Vespertine is class form start to finish and i'm loving Vulnicura, i will be intrigued to see what she does with it live, i'd imagine she'll just play it out in order as it's meant to be with a large orchestra and a choir, it will sound amazing. A festival set however would have to be very different . I remember going to Glasto last year wanting to see Alison Goldfrapp and thinking that she'd only be playing " tales of us" but we got a full on best of set, heres hoping it'll all come true and Bjork does this at Glasto this year.

[sloseph]

well she's not going to be UK exclusive

just been announced to be playing Wildness Festival

[Matt42]

Apparently she isn't at lattitude or bestival

[Tuna]

Matt, Latitude doesn't have a double t. Stop doing that. As I'm here, please stop saying "could of" too - it's "could have". Cheers.

[dentalplan]

No need to have such an atitude about it.

[Tuna]

No need to have such an atitude about it.

You're right. I rettract my statement.

[eFestivals]

Apparently she isn't at lattitude or bestival

how do you know?

Or might you be inventing things again?

[Mezhyp1]

I'm don't know if Mat42 will take any offence to this

[theouterlimits]

I spoke to someone who is apparently working on the Bjork album campaign. Apparently she's not doing Glasto

The person I spoke to also said that she wouldn't be doing any UK fests. With this mornings announcement that has obviously changed. Reckon Glasto may be back on the cards if so.

[Memory Man]

the fact that the press release for wilderness makes no mention of exclusive is a good start. I would have my money on her not being at glastonbury though.

[Guest]

Apart from Latitude and/or Glastonbury, what other UK fests would she realistically be playing? Must be one or the other.

[Tuna]

Bestival? Though she played there a few years ago, didn't she? 2011 or so?

Haven't they already announced all three headliners?
