Mezhyp1 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Warpaint have said they'll definitely release an album in 2016, count me in, and I very much hope they come to the farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy0808 v5 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Father John Misty tickets will be getting purchased just in case he doesn't stick around for Glasto. Couldn't imagine him anywhere other than the Park which he played this year. He could do one of the first slots on the Pyramid I guess but don't think it'd go down as well.

The Nal Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Aren't Wilco playing some Spanish festival in June or something?They are indeed, the week after Glasto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tevaburger Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 They are indeed, the week after Glasto.they're so "in"...upsell autumn dates much later in the year which basically says there will be none of their 'own' gigs anytime earlier in the year, and that June/July euro run is merely a festie crawl. practically the first confirmation for Glasto, more so than Manilow...

When Jokers Attack Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I hope we get Wilco for Glasto, I love them and never seen them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I'd be pretty excited about Wilco, yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Only thing is, i imagine they're quite pricey to book, and I don't know where on the bill they'd go. I fear a late afternoon/early evening Other slot, with a smallsih audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear a late afternoon/early evening Other slot, with a smallsih audience.i think they'd headline a smaller stage. the festies they've suddenly been signing up to in the past year have for the most part been headline spots, the last big one they did was Bonnaroo i think and they were on b4 McCartney...i think the last thing they want at a big fest like Glasto is to be lost on a big stage midday to peeps waiting for the likes of the next Two Door Cinema Club to come on afterwards...but i also think if Glasto get them, they might have them for 2 days, and I dream of them getting a 2nd set, perhaps on the Radiohead undercard on the pyramid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tevaburger Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Park headliners?that does seem best, perfect for them and closest in similiar setting/size to their Solid Sound stage too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 hehehe *stops clock on 'Park headliners'* I dunno, maybe I'm worng, i don't really get the idea they're a cheap act. I also really don't know about their following. I mean, I really like 'em, going back 15 years or so, but are they still a draw in the UK? It's a really interesting proposition. What sort of size venues do they play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of size venues do they play?Their next tour is Albert Hall and O2 Brixton. So they're not huge at all but do have a considerable legacy.Played Pyramid last time they played ages back, I think? Could be back on there but a bit higher up.

Mardy Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 hmmm... Brixton Academy. Yeah, right, not so big then. I've always imagined they're much bigger in the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gucci Piggy Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Wilco and Joanna Newsom ticked off as Park headliners, then. Who's gonna be the third? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 hmmm... Brixton Academy. Yeah, right, not so big then. I've always imagined they're much bigger in the USBrixton Academy ain't small or anything; it's like a 5k venue. They've not played a bigger gig here apart from as R.E.M. supports. Don't know the official capacity for Manchester Albert Hall but that shouldn't be much smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always imagined they're much bigger in the USThe venues they play in the US are generally the same size or smaller. Brixton Academy is about 5k. Next few gigs in the US are all under 3k. Some well under 3k. They're not a big band. Edited October 27, 2015 by The Nal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next few gigs in the US are all under 3k. Some well under 3k. They're not a big band.more by choice though. don't seem to want big venues. they sold out 4 of those venues in the NYC area when they went on sale recently and a 5th not too far away in New Haven on day of sale. if they wanted to, they could add more and they would sell out too. very loyal fan base....some of whom are surprised at the rising ticket prices of some of these Brooklyn and Capital Theatre gigs in NY mind you.
