Tame Impala

[thewayiam]

Sold out Ally Pally pretty quick, playing the giant Manchester Arena and standing sold out so far. Only slots right size would be Other headline or Pyramid sub.

Not necessarily, remember Ben Howard subbed Other and had an arena tour already done before Glastonbury. Still got Ally Pally left, look on seetickets.

Anyone see them at Bestival? Probably the best of the weekend for me

While on my first proper experience of 2cb. That was quite the experience

I enjoyed Duran Duran more though. You hear that Michael, book Duran Duran

missed them when they played at Glasto.

Looks like the first time in a while I will bother with a support band then!

excellent support that. was wondering what they were up to. hopefully means new material is on the horizon

Brilliant news about Jagwar Ma!

Looking forward to that, missed them so many times in recent years

Love Jagwar Ma, they were incredible at Glastonbury in 2013. 

When I was working for Oxfam last year I overheard someone on the radio saying that they had two people at their vehicle gate (before the festival had started, a Tuesday I think) claiming they were a band called 'Jagwar Ma'. No one on the radio had ever heard of them and they didn't appear to be on the list so weren't allowed in. I would have loved to have been on that gate to see whether it actually was them.

Managed to sleep through their set in the JP tent a few years ago, which I was really looking forward to. I woke up (confused) whilst the next band were playing. Seen them since though, and really enjoyed them. Their first album is great, so I'm hopeful the new material will be as well.

Roll on Feb!

I'm going to have to give 'Currents' another go sometime soon. Admittedly, I only listened to it 1 or 2 times when it was released but I found most of it pretty forgettable :(

likewise - just really didn't do anything for me. they'll inevitably be playing Glastonbury next year so i guess i'll give it another go

[Mardy]

I really like 'currents', think it's better than the second album. 

 

But more importantly, hooray for Jagwar Ma. I feared they'd disappeared, good news they're still going.

[StevieGed]

Great news on Jagwar Ma. Seen TI at bestival and in the Olympia in Liverpool recently, hoping their set for next summers events is more currents-heavy, quite a few songs I'm wanting to hear live still from the album. Cause I'm a man and the moment we're glorious. Eventually is by far my favourite Tame track from everything they've put out. JP headliner hopefully. Although I'm still ticketless

felt exactly the same, the two lead singles were the stand outs for me. 

[mungo57]

I've always loved Currents - I am currently listing to Inner Speaker though - great album that

Bollocks, seetickets is the only one i didnt try.

Oh well, iv got them now i suppose.

[jonodillieono]

Currents is my album of the year. Absolutely incredible, much prefer it over their first 2 albums

[ace56blaa]

Really like all 3 albums, but currents was the one that made me wanna see them live

[mb'satglasto]

Anyone manage to catch them at the MEN/Ally Pally over the last few nights?

Saw them in Manchester and thought they were fantastic tbh. KP is gradually getting better and better as a front man on the big stage. Currents is catapulting the band to new heights. The whole album seems to be just one mass singalong (in the standing crowd anyway) along with their older classics.

I'm hoping they're on the bill this year again. I saw them in 2013 when I'd only really listened to a bit of Lonerism and it felt a bit flat in the middle of the afternoon.

The lightshow and colourful ticker tape that seemed to fly up countless times really owes to a show in the dark. Which really only means a tent or a headline slot to do it justice. I don't know whether these other stage slots are nailed on already but surely they're in with a shout?! They're too big I think for the park or west holts now surely...

[jonodillieono]

I seen them in Manchester and they were absolutely brilliant.

Jagwar Ma were fantastic as well, no idea if that was all first album stuff they played or teasers for whatever they have upcoming but they were brilliant

[mb'satglasto]

Yea agreed. Was surprised cos I'm a man was omitted but no qualms with the set list at all. Really sound people in the crowd as well!

Jagwar Ma were much enjoyed. Walked down the stairs at the top to the front of the arena to Man I Need. Felt like it was my entrance theme, haha. 

[Alcatraz]

Yeah just got back from Ally Pally

It's rare you see acts that inspire such positivity within everyone around you. I danced my ass off, and realised I was watching one of the most spectacular musicians of a generation. LOVED IT. 

Echo the sentiments about Jagwar Ma as well. Had never really given them much time but they really impressed me.

In terms of TI for Glastonbury, I got to thinking on the way home where they'd be these days. My sad conclusion was that they'd be too big for the Park now which to my mind would be the ultimate setting for them.

Saw them on Friday. Both bands were superb and the atmosphere was electric! A JP headline set would work so so well for them but they're probably too big for it now. I expect they'll be 3rd on Pyramid/2nd on Other if they're booked.

[Wellyboot]

Would love Tame Impala to be at Glastonbury. Anyone know if it's likely? X
