The Horrors

[suzie sue]

Excited to hear the new track tonight, the past two albums have been superb. They are becoming one of the best British bands around

[mrtourette]

Come on, at least try to put a line in to make it appear relevant to Glastonbury.

Well they are playing several British festivals over the summer so would imagine a glasto slot is likely, maybe third down on the other?

[mrtourette]

That's more like it.

This is the song. Although the one tonight won't be live and will probably have 100% less Thurston Moore.

They're in Europe the weekend before an US the weekend after, so it can go either way. I reckon they'll play though.

[FloorFiller]

i hope they're there (again). every time they're playing a festival i go to they seem to be headlining a stage up against a headliner i want to see so i always miss them, so a highish Other slot would be nice

excited for the new song. i hated them so much when they first started making the rounds but both Primary Colours and Skying have been fantastic albums (and Strange House has grown on me a bit as well)

[russycarps]

are the band members still absolute knobheads?

I wasn't ever really fussed by them until I saw them at Reading in 2012. What an outstanding show they put on, really impressed me. Headlining the park/high up on the John Peel Stage please! Alot of their show will get lost on the other stage I'd imagine.

[russycarps]

[zero000]

Yeah I think it was Faris the frontman. Still a great band mind you.

[ghandi]

Saw them in the Park in 2009 and again at Ally Pally on the Skying tour. Really good band, gutted i missed the set in the Jonh Peel which i had seen back since, the best of the three i reckon. It will be good to head the new album, that might sway whether i see them again.

[Homer]

Seeing as they headlined The Park last time are they really likely to be back? Would have liked to have seen them - were great at Bestival two years ago I think - but missed them in favour of Simian Mobile Disco (no regrets about that!).

[bexj]

I saw them at Bestival in 2012, absolutely loved them. Saw them headline The Park last year and was less keen but maybe it was wrong time wrong place thing

[FloorFiller]

new song is pretty great

[dentalplan]

It's a bit poppy but quite good. Sounds like it'd be a good set opener.

[suzie sue]

Fantastic song, bit too long to wait for the album now

I'll take The Horrors on John Peel up against Eagles and Metallica.

[home to you]

I remember seeing The Horrors in about 2009, and it was mental. For me, their older stuff is far superior to Skying, i enjoyed Skying, but i felt they hung around too much on it. it came out in 2011, and on the back of it, played 3 festival circuits off it, including 2011 and 2013 at Glastonbury. Would they play 3 Glastonbury's on the run? They can't play in the light, it's like when Leeds stuck Crystal Castles on in the day, it's just rubbish, so where could they play? John Peel headliner?

[Bisque]

Haven't The Horrors headlined JP before? If so, I would have thought they'd get a push up to Other by now.

[Bisque]

I think they were 3rd or 4th on JP when they played in 2011. I could see them playing 4th or 5th on Other this year.

[Bobs]

That's lower than I thought. They would be much better in the evening in the dark, they looked epic with smoke & light show at Bestival.
