Faithless

[Earthwindandfire2205]

With all the hype they are putting on Facebook at the moment with a daily countdown to possibly reforming, what are the chances of them returning this year to Glastonbury?

I would have thought it was quite a small possibility.

Normally, these sorts of reforms are about picking up significant cash for shows, and Glasto doesn't pay particularly well.

I wondered how long it would take em to come back ?

I saw them on the last arena tour at Sheffield Arena - admittedly it was a really bad week winter weather wise so a few may of shied off the gig but I have never seen an arena so

empty.

I could be wrong but it seemed there was less than 1,000 in a 8,000 arena.

A brilliant band to watch in a field !

[russycarps]

Much as I have enjoyed these in the past, it would be quite crap if they walked straight in to a pyramid sub slot or something. I feel like their time has been and gone.

surely there's a current band that can do what faithless were doing (some goes for chemical brothers really)

[ivan]

They would be a good Other Stage headliner which Chemicals have been the last few times they have played

2007 and 2011

In fact 2007 was one of my greatest Glastonbury highlights.

A week of mud , we camp in Big Ground and all my mates wanted to stop by our tents and watch The Who. But I summoned my last ounce of energy and made the arduous trip in the mud

to see the Chems. It pissed it down during their set , more mud but dancing on my own I realised at that point there was nowhere else I would rather have been.

Their set it well worth a watch on you tube - so much mud and rain but so much happiness !

Yeah I think that Faithless have had their time, 2010 sub Pyramid into Stevie will remain one of my greater Glasto memories, one into the other was a great memory not to be messed with.

and mine.

This was the only time i've had a break from work for long enough to commit to seeing any consecutive acts.

[brettredmayne]

Could be a John peel headliner or are they still too big for that

Me too. Still remember the lads down the front who blew up a rubber dingy and managed to crowd surf in it. Genius!

[hoils]

Oh. I thought their 2010 gig was a bit cruddy. All seemed a bit forced after the utter joy of the 2002, and the brilliance of 98 on Jazz. Never mind.

They're always welcome back though, if only to watch Sister Bliss taking herself and her art ever so seriously. She's a pouting hoot,

[WS_Jack_III]

I really enjoyed them when they last played Glasto. Would seem a bit cheap for them to come back so soon but then if the time is right and they wanna perform again then why not.

[august1]

I hope you all like remastered boxsets.

[Mouseboy11]

Someone I've never seen so I'd love for them to be back

[WS_Jack_III]

I think they must be running short on retirement cash to come back so fast. I think it'll be a massive tour then disappear again (Orbital style)

Orbital were back for 3 years ish longer if you consider they didn't pack in till recently.

[JoeyT]

So seems as though 4pm today then.

Ultimately would love to see them back at Glastonbury but don't think they work in daylight so Other Stage headline please.

[ivan]

Jazz World headliner would be lovely !

At least the Chems continue to make decent albums, I don't see faithless as in the same league as them to be honest

[Spindles]

The 2010 set was about 1/3 stuff from their most recent album, but when they played the hits they went down great.

but it could open doors an would be a wonderful promotion!

Playing an outdoor gig in London in the summer, celebrating 20 years in the business. Thats all so far

[Lubic]

Would love them on the lineup. Only know the singles, but never seen them live - thought I'd missed my chance.

Them doing 'god is a dj' on Jazzworld around a decade back was spine-chillingly good.

But I can't really see them there this year. As they're re-launching themselves with that London gig i'm guessing they won't be doing any other shows till after that show, and it's likely to be further onto the summer than Glasto, I reckon.
