Self Confirmed

[A Guy Called Matt]

I have never really listened to Hot Chip...... until the last few days and fecking hell they are good.

Please let them be at GF and up against Coldplay would be fantastic.

[Matt42]

HOT CHIP YES

[willsnewman]

I'm over the moon about Hot Chip.

[Thearg]

Where ever they play they deserve top billing, in 08 they smashed it, got everyone in the party mood then massive attack fxxked it

[Callum_96]

There's still tickets for their Birmingham gig which is quite odd, thought they would of sold it out straight away

They're not very big.

[FloorFiller]

yeah i think a lot of people on here massively overestimate their size (thinking they could headline Other etc) - i personally think they may headline JP. West Holts would be preferable, but i don't think they're quite there yet

Not a self-confirmation and not really surprising, but Erol Alkan was asked if he was playing this year and replied "perhaps..": https://twitter.com/erolalkan/status/563683836719300608

His fabric live set has been spun a massive amount of times at chez virgin . Erol alkan > Coldplay Edited February 6, 2015 by The 38 year old virgin

Only one winner there.

I would've thought Other sub was a bigger slot than West Holts, and they've done that past two times? Either way, I reckon they'll be back subbing Other.

in theory, yeah it probably is, but having a headline slot on any stage means you need to have some kind of pulling power, and i don't quite think Hot Chip would have that on West Holts. compared to previous West Holts headliners i don't think they're quite there

i'd be happy with them subbing Other again - hopefully to somebody else good on the Coldplay day so that can be my night sorted

[Callum_96]

I know they aren't big and don't think they are anywhere near the size to headline the other stage but it's only one of the small rooms and I'd expect them to sell that out

This is what it says when run through Google Translate.

Probably 2014 years was the best Sharon Van Etten career. Released in May album "Are We There" heavily in alternative summaries messed last year. Album received critical acclaim, and Sharon started the tour in the United States and was in line pole many festivals.

In the spring of this year, for a moment return to Europe. In June, will play at Glastonbury and immediately after coming to Bialystok. As announced will be her last concert this summer in Europe.

Sharon Van Etten has won 4 plates. Also assisted vocally The Antlers and The National. In Poland, played only once, as a support ... The National precisely. So it's time for a full Sharon Van Etten concert.

[OBface]

Got turned onto Sharon Van Etten after she cropped SO many times in the album of the year thread.

Great news

[Tuna]

Dental mate you're a saint. Ridiculously good find, amazing news.

[willutalk]

Wowwee I don't think that I can handle the amount of (possible) self-confirmations !

[Mezhyp1]

Great find Dental, hopefully she's on the park, would be a sight to see

[Andeeroo]

Perfect antidote to the Sunday night feeling! Good sleuthing dental

It's a fair point. Were they sub other last time, subbed latitude last tour (which has been tame impala, the maccabees etc)?For me maybe it's because i saw them headline a 'Loaded in the Park' and they were a great (slightly smaller) headliner. I think they'd pack out jp, decent crowd for west holts. I'm hopping the latter or subbing the chemical brother.
