New track is incredible.

[showmethestones]

Tour just before, could be, hope so

Think I might just put Afrika Shox on full blast to make this happen!!!!

[Mezhyp1]

Hopeful, not sure where they would play now? Il definitely head to the barrowlands for that show that could be pretty special

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Could see them maybe headlining Glade? Or West Holts? Difficult to pick because I'm not sure how big they are considered now

[CaledonianGonzo]

Tour dates look positive.

Is it still just the one of them now?

It is aye, Neil Barnes. After the last tour he has always said he would release new material.

Beat me to asking this, I'm sure it's still only Neil Barnes I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise

I was happy to see Leftfield at least once in my lifetime, graced with seeing them twice at Glasgow and Rockness. Never thought I would see them again, especially with new music. This is incredible news.

Rockness 2010? That was the best year of Rockness, great memories looking back, great shame it fell by the way side

An excellent year, also the year I finally got to see Aphex Twin. Never felt bass like it. An outstanding set from RDJ. It is a shame Rockness doesn't happen anymore, it could return but it has to go back to it's roots. Example and Plan B headlining with all the other mainstream bollocks went too far.

[Thelips]

100% yes from me. Be phenomenal seeing them live again. Pick can't make the tour dates so here's hoping for GF. Not sure where they'd play though

I didn't go the last year of it, line up was just a shambles compared to what it had been, certainly of Leftfield put on a show anything like that year at Rockness it's not be be missed

Only recently got into them, fantastic stuff. Would love to see a Leftfield show.

Any excuse to play this and I am deffo up for Leftfield

I'd out them in the top five acts i'll now be looking for on the line-up...

Just played that on 6 music - banging, great other headliner

I hope they don't put them on the Other because I don't particularly like that stage and I'm not sure just how big a crowd they would draw now.

West Holts should be big enough and the atmosphere would be a lot better.

A proper 90 minute rave over there on the Saturday night would possibly be the high point of the weekend.

This has to happen now!

Never historically been a huge fan - I was always more Orbital and Underworld for some reason. Anyway, saw them(/him) at Brixton about four years back and it was f@king brilliant. Agreed - a West Holts headline would be awesome!

[Homer]

Thinking about it - they were rumoured to be nailed on on here about two years ago but it fell away for some reason. Hopefully someone at Glast is a fan!

You're thinking about it wrong. It's all about the BASS. The Other is usually much beefier. Imagine how great it would be with a smaller crowd so you could get close to those bass bins? West Holts is great and all, but Other would be LOUDER!!

EDIT: But yeah, they're probably not big enough these days.

Wasn't that a money making tour? This time with new material, it's more likely to be about raising the profile, so a Glasto slot should be more likely.

Haha, yeah fair point.

The West Holts could do with new speakers if they do headline.

Did they tour 2 years ago?

I know they toured in 2010 because I came home early from travelling to see them headline Electric Picnic and then saw them indoors in Dublin, which was incredible.

I think Neil Barnes did a DJ set tour at festivals two years ago under the guise 'Leftfield (DJ Set)' but I don't think they played live as a band.

I might see if I can get some info out of him on Twitter

[Homer]

I saw them about four years ago at a Brixton Academy all-nighter. As to money-making or not, it was for charity.

Yeah that was probably near the end of the tour I saw them.

He's been making the album for the last 3 years.

Actually playing in Ireland next Friday but it's just too far away from where I'm based
