Goldfrapp

[ghandi]

I am really looking forward to seeing Goldfrapp, i just hope they are not on the Sunday night, headline anywhere else on friday and Saturday and i am there, but a clash with Massive Attack would be a nightmare! I saw the live gig at Somerset house below and Wow she is amazing, what a voice. Whilst Tales of us is a very melodic ballad album it harps back to Felt mountain, really good.

I often call these wrong

But I see Goldfrapp as a daytime/early evening Pyramid Stage band these days

Nah, tent or darkness for me, otherwise I wouldn't bother.

[davefrompompey]

I mean they're probably going to be placed at the Pyramid during the day, not that thats where they belong.

Lovely head is a great song

I thought there was talk of them headlining JP? Friday? I hope not.

This is the set list from the tour which as you would think has 7 songs from " tales are us" , sadly no " Pilots" or " Human" or " Crystalized green", but depending on what slot they are and how long they have we might get some older stuff, though the other 10 tracks are the other albums.

I saw them last October in Amsterdam. It was beautiful how all the songs from Tales of Us were performed live. Can't agree more, Goldfrapp needs to play in the dark, together with a mist machine...

Think she played a late sunday afternoon set last time, was good but agree a night time one would be better.

I really enjoyed the latest Goldfrapp album but if they were to headline a stage I highly doubt I'd see them. My Friday and Saturday night are likely to be spent at the Pyramid and I'm not really sure if the set Goldfrapp would be likely to do is the sort of set I'd like to end my weekend with.

Hoping they play a lower slot!

Saw them a few weeks back and it was a great night. The staging would definitely lose something if they played in daylight, as the low-key new stuff is all moody black and white before the last third of mainly upbeat stuff erupts into loads of colours.

[tevaburger]

i'd really like to see her, but i fear this has 'clash' written all over it. maybe sunday night if I'm lucky. I doubt she's on in the afternoon somewhere.

[ghandi]

Sunday? No no no no no no on! I reckon a JP headline slot for Friday or Saturday , please

[DJL]

If she is headlining the sunday this will be one i'll have to decide on the day - a fairly chilled atmospheric one might be exactly/exactly not what i'm after by that stage...

[russycarps]

downloaded their latest album this weekend. I like quite a bit of it. Very chilled. I've no idea where to place them at glastonbury. I guess headlining park seems best fit, but they are bigger than that. I have a bad feeling they will sub the other stage

[FloorFiller]

subbing Other or headlining John Peel is where i can see them (although they could fit in to any of the main stages, really.) obviously they'd be better headlining a stage (even if it is the John Peel) but for selfish reasons i'd like them to sub Other / be somewhere else other than a headline spot

Not really sure how big they are these days anyway, hard to place where they'll be on the bill or the site. Absolutely love Tales Of Us, if half the set is made up of that I'll be happy. Would love to see A&E too, don't know why but I haven't seen them since 2006, regret not seeing them more.

[dingbat2]

I think the stage they play should reflect what they intend top play, in an ideal world

If they play the heaver, sexier, electro stuff from earlier albums then subbing the Other would be ideal, like when they played in 2004

However they are unlikely to do this (although will still play the likes of Utopia, Strict Machine and Lovely Head) - they will be playing their much slower, less electronic stuff from the new album,. which needs to be played in a dark, more intimate, place. Saying that I think subbing a tent (Acoustic or JP) would still work, because tents are quite dark at any time of day, and with a bit of smoke and lighting, it would still be a great atmosphere to perform the newer stuff

The afternnom Pyramid slot they did last time did not really work, wrong stage, wrong time of day

[ghandi]

Agreed I wouldn't really want to see them on the Pyramid, too big and too light if early, especially with the new album. Has to be a dark setting, I would like the Park, I have not seen a headline act there before.
