ProperTea Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Apologies if this has been asked before.. Just wondered what the chances of Chic playing again this year were? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budvar Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Sorry to disappoint you, but I'd say there's naff all chance this year and unlikely to see them again in the near future and really not sure what slot they'd be given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenavyone Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Zero, they were incredible though if that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbin82 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I would expect there would be next to no chance they would appear again in the near future, it seems the only times bands ever appear in consecutive years are when they play a fairly low slot one year and then find a bit of success that propels them right up the bill to a prestigious place in the line up (eg Mumfords). Or they are fairly low down the bill and just make up the numbers year after year (eg. John Otway, or Howard Marks, both well worth seeing by the way). The only other exception seem to be secret sets where a couple of band members might get together to play an impromptu set somewhere on the site. Unfortunately for you Chic won't fall into any of the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatmax Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 indeed... you missed Portishead! This. Best set I have ever seen at Glasto. Would love to see Chic again, so much fun at Bestival last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinktink Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 chic were brilliant last year, but would love to see them again but on the pyramid or other stage, as sound wasnt that good and to crowded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WS_Jack_III Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Get em on Pyramid as a sub. New song is decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopickledaddy Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 They are playing British summer time in Hyde Park on the 21st of June. So hopefully they might be at Glastonbury the following weekend. I would like them to headline West Holts :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrippit Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Chic on West Holts was an absolute party. I persuaded my son and his mates to give Arctics a miss and join us. They had no idea that they knew most of the tunes and I am still being thanked. Everyone was, it would be fair to say, completely w****ered. I think they could step up to a massive Pyramid set, but it seems unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcatraz Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 They could do a Pyramid slot for sure, but perhaps sub-sub (if thats a thing) I enjoy the new song a great deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they could step up to a massive Pyramid set, but it seems unlikely. Forgot they had already done West Holts, wish I had seen that set, sounds like it was fun. So yeah agree with you, they could be on the Pyramid this year (hopefully). Edited March 20, 2015 by Boopickledaddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 new song's okay. just sounds like all of their other stuff really (which i guess is the point). would definitely be up for the getting a Pyramid slot - third or fourth down whilst the sun is still out would do nicely. was planning on seeing them in '13 but got so drunk that i got lost and ended up seeing Arctics instead (when actually i should've been planning on seeing Portishead all along - d'oh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooderson Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 If anyone has followed/has respect for Nile Rodgers over past 5 or 6 years this single has to resonate. It's life affirming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
