i'm out of the country 8 may.

I just get back in time for the Glasgow show!

[The Placid Casual]

My exam period can fucking do one. 6th May, Albert Hall, I'm all over that

I'll probably have to go to that Brixton one too

[CaledonianGonzo]

No two ways about it, this does increase the likelihood of a Glasto appearance....

[The Placid Casual]

Argh, I thought the Manc one was on the Friday. This makes things harder!

[The Placid Casual]

Gonna chance it and get a ticket anyway. If I have exams that week, I'll have to sack it off

[russycarps]

this is more important than exams ffs

What's your thinking?

[neil999]

am dreaming off a warm friday evening with them on the park stage, all the dullards watching foo fighters and everyone singing along to demons...lovely

[russycarps]

What's your thinking?

they love the festival and the festival loves them. I reckon they'll be there.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah - Gruff's like Albarn, Yorke, etc. Shows up whenever he can.

Just that and the timing, really..

[ThomThomDrum]

*Fingers firmly crossed that they add a Dublin show or two..............preferably the Olympia.

This is just the Albert Hall show. I have good old reliable Brixton to fall back on

Listened to Gruff talk about his book in the Crow's nest last year. He does appear to turn up at the festival quite often.

Which stage would they play on?

Headlining the park would be perfect for them

headlining JP tent? Really hard one to call. I would hate it if they were afternoon on the pyramid, or 3 or 4 down on the other (like in 2007)

[FloorFiller]

i reckon since they're coming off a hiatus they'd be more likely to be given a headline slot - JP seems about right (although i have no idea how big they actually are)

[Lois.]

They might do a cheeky warm up show round our way maybe Wessex? *crosses finggers*

[ThomThomDrum]

Headline JP would be tops IMO.

I wonder if any gig would be really MWNG heavy, what with the reissue??

I like listening to that album, but Id be fucked if I can sing along to it at a gig and theres nothing quite like a SFA singalong.............

[CaledonianGonzo]

The Park

Friday - Belle & Sebastian - King Creosote sub

Saturday - Super Furry Animals - Yo La Tengo sub

Sunday - JAMC - Teenage Fanclub sub

I'm all over these dates. I don't know a lot of their back catalogue, but their best of is excellent, as is Gruff's solo stuff.

I'm going to be exploring the recommendations in this thread over the next couple of days.

In all honesty, you're best off listening to everything. It's all brilliant

would be a wasted opportunity if so. I mean I like the album but for a festival headline slot it would be a shame.

Though gruff seems more obsessed with promoting the welsh language than ever so who knows.

A straight forward greatest hits set seems unlikely to appeal to him.

[Mardy]

fuck i'm out of the country 8 may. SHIT!

but for once, I'm back in the country. I'll represent you, Russy

They seemed to advertise this with the bear from radiator, so just from that, I imagine it'll be pretty mixed, but I can see a few Mwng being in the set

Time to learn some Welsh fellas!
