The Black Keys

So Sunday is the 'free' date in their schedule. Other Stage headliners I reckon.

I don't know. This has made me less convinced they'll play.

[Bobs]

They have to be considered likely.

They're easily gonna be big enough to headline the other, potentially sub a headliner perhaps?

Either way, I'll be there if they play, would love my Sunday night to be filled by an hour of amazing music.

3 Countries in 3 nights? I'd say wager they are going be elsewhere in Scandinavia or more likely a rest on the Sunday..

They've got a reasonable gap afterwards though so that seems like enough time to rest up.

Yeah I don't think they'll play anymore. Three countries in three days is probably tough plus they're seemingly doing a midweek gig every week they're in Europe too. The festivals they're doing Glastonbury weekend aren't particularly big ones so I imagine if they were doing Glastonbury, they wouldn't cram them in too for the sake of it.

[Dan R]

I'd have thought they'd be quite keen to play Glastonbury, they've played before and it got them some good exposure in the UK. A headline slot on the other stage would be a great platform to air some new material for them. Plus I can't think which other UK festival they'd play around that time.

Saying that the rest of their dates seem more spread out so 3 dates in 3 countries does seem a bit of a push.

they could play mid afternoon on Fri or Sat, then fly over for the other gig.

Also there Tom, going elsewhere in Scandinavia? Should do some reading on your Geography

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

I don't see three (European) countries in three nights being that much different to Dolly Parton doing two consecutive nights at the O2 and then heading over to Glastonbury on the Sunday. It's nearly twice as far from St Gallen to Beuningen as it is from there to Glastonbury actually.

Play the show in Beuningen, quick tour bus ride up to Amsterdam, flight into Bristol, supping cider in the Vale of Avalon sunshine by midday Sunday. Done.

It's on.

It's like The National this year all over again!

[Zoo Music Girl]

The National are good though...

[Zoo Music Girl]

There are times when I despair of you.

Hey funboys etc.

So The Black Keys are headlining Latitude but aren't mentioned as an exclusive whereas the other two headliners are. Having not been announced for any other UK festivals so far, would it be fair to imagine there's now a decent possibility of them playing Glasto? They could easily sub the Pyramid.

The only day they're free is the Sunday. Subbing Kasabian would fit nicely, though they'd be playing 3 dates in a row so not sure how likely this is unfortunately...
