Ride

On the Rumours page for the Other Stage.

Must admit that I don't quite see that myself. JPT feels like a better fit.

I suppose subbing at sunset would be quite nice considering their sound, though not really sure they're big enough for that. Whatever - it can't be as bad as when they played in 94!

Watched a bit of there set from Coachella yesterday sounded great.

FYI, Ride are on 6music with Lammo tonight playing live at Maida Vale (4pm to 7pm).

[math125]

Anyone listening? They are a just before my time and I confess I've not heard much of them. Liking this though.

[Crest]

Listening on 6music, takes me back as watched them at Reading Festival in early 90's and at the Brighton Daytripper gig with The Charlatans in 93

[jimmyt]

Pretty much the best song ever, this. (Leave Them All Behind has just begun on Radio 6 if you're not listening).

[Homer]

On my way to meet my girlfriend's best friend for first time sadly (pizza express Leicester square). Will be listening again tomorrow!

Just before mine too mate (1976) but def worth catching up on!

[Homer]

Happened to be in Manchester last night and realised they were playing. Got tickets for 15 each!

It was amazing. The venue - Albert hall - was quite small and had stain glass windows all around it. It was really sunny but got darker as the gig went on. Never seen that before, it was just f-ing perfect.

Mate has a spare for the roundhouse so driving back to London and will be Going Blank Again tonight!

The band were really tight (well, as tight as you can be while making that much noise!), everyone was so elated to be there and they played everything.

[Anderson19]

Sounds great!

I'm really hoping they get added.

[CHRLY]

Fantastic in Manc last night. Would've swaped Paralysed for Kalaidescope or In A Different Place but other than that it was great.

[Trout Mask Replica]

Saw Ride in 91 I think at Newcastle Mayfair club... fantastic gig, what I can remember of it. Really hope they get added this year!

Caught an interview on The Quietus a few days ago where Ride said they were a festival exclusive but were thinking about Glasto next year. They referred to the fake line-up that had been doing the rounds on here I think - http://thequietus.com/articles/17903-ride-interview-field-day

Gutted if they definitely aren't there this time round, but hopefully will catch them in 2016, the reunion shows have looked immense.

I just walked into Field Day chatting to Andy Bell's manager (not Ride's manager, mind) so I asked why they're not doing Glastonbury - was it money or not being asked, etc. His response was "Given Andy's free all weekend, they're not necessarily not playing." Can I stress, he didn't say they would be there but he clearly suggested they could be. Will have more credibility if Ride announce an October tour tomorrow...

I'll be watching this closely. For the they were the biggest omission disappointment this year.

October tour is what I like to here

[jimmyt]

So, Ride just announced the October tour I was told about on the way in to Field Day. I guess that might mean something.

[home to you]

Ah we could be in for a lovely surprise next week then Jimmy!

[GlastoEls]

Would be a super addition!

[the wonderwhy]

Rock City, get in. 

 

Frank Turner announced for the old sticky floor today as well. Nottingham is looking great in October/November 

[Anderson19]

Rock City is such a good venue aswell.

Fallen in love with it other the last two years  

 

Feels weird when I go to a gig at the arena and my feet aren't stuck to the floor 

[Anderson19]

I try to head there now rather than to Manchester or Brum. Love that it hasn't sold out to O2 also a much more intimate venue than other similar venues on academy tours.

Plus they sell a nice selection of cans - pricey mind & plenty of nice bars nearby even a cheap hotel Roomzz next door.
