LCD Soundsystem....

[rubenz]

Unfortunately I was at the pyramid watching a lacklustre faithless show.

I was fucked mind and the walk to the other stage may have finished me off

Pow Pow remains amazing, you ingrates.

[Mash011]

You know what is really amazing? That bit at the end of 'You Wanted a Hit' on The Long Goodbye where it all takes off. Like nothing else.

Never seen them, always known the singles and enjoyed them but maybe the last year and a bit ago did i finally get the albums. We only got This is Happening recently actually. 

Been listening to it a lot, love Dance Yrself Clean!

The New York Times seem pretty certain this is happening

[Wooderson]

Strange enough move from James. 

[Mash011]

Yep it's happening for sure. LCD on the Other Stage, mhmmm.

Likelihood of them choosing Glasto over headlining something like Bestival or similar?

We've heard from two different users (of 1,000+ posts) that Glasto is happening, one placing them at the top of the Other Stage.

[Mardy]

I'd be very surprised. Could definitely see them going for the Bestival cash, as per Outkast etc.

I saw, but you have to presume that the Coachella gig is a cash driven decision....

[Badlands]

Never really played them much though I've put Great Release is on a running playlist a few years back and it still sounds ace. 

 

[Mash011]

I don't think it's too implausible they could do both Glasto and Bestival, said to be doing a few around here aren't they? Obviously a big gap but the Bestival money may well make up for that. And they're said to be doing at least 7 US shows so I don't think it'd necessarily be a one-off over here.

Either way, I'll do everything I can to see them regardless of where they play, though a Bestival ticket on top of Glastonbury may not be affordable.

[FloorFiller]

yeah i didn't really fancy going to Bestival again this year but if they've got LCD and Glastonbury doesn't then it's a no brainer

[AdamWillingham]

Didn't someone mention the possibility of them being the Saturday Field Day headliner? 

If Glastonbury miss out on them but Field Day secure, I think I'll opt for that.

Think they are too big for field day. The rumours i heard were glasto slot and a few gigs in London and NYC

I thought that too, I guess I jumped the gun a bit and saw they were rumoured for a few gigs in London and assumed one would be the unannounced Field Day headliner. 

I've never been a HUGE LCD fan but I enjoy them and they are one of those bands I have wanted to see live for a long time. 

[Bradders]

I love LCD Soundsystem. Listening to The Long Goodbye daily at the moment.

I think they opted for their own gigs. I could be wrong but my source that told me about glasto mentioned that as well so I've reason to believe him. Time will tell but it's all very exciting! 

[Hugh Jass]

Even if they don't play the festivals you'd still hope they'll play a few gigs over here. A few nights residency at the Roundhouse in Camden would be brilliant.

[Mash011]

I'd definitely consider going to an LCD gig on top of Glastonbury, ticket prices allowing of course. Though that night at the Other is going to be something remarkably special, assuming it happens.

If Radiohead tour too I'll get to see my top two must-see bands in 2016. What a year it'll be.

Far too big for the Roundhouse. I'd expect a few nights at Ally Pally.

This Is Happening 

I remember seeing LCD Soundsystem with Hot Chip at at Cardiff! Sublime combination, lots of groove. A show not too dissimilar to that one would be very welcome. This Coachella news allows one to entertain the possibility a bit more!
