Yeah pretty much. Neil had word that the 'two shows' thing was definitely still how it stood recently so looks like that's that!

That's not quite it.

We got back in touch with the guy who'd put "only two UK shows" in the press release for the announcement of the first show, and he said he believed it still stood - but also said "why, have you heard differently?" (or something similar).

Because of where he sits in things he wouldn't necessarily get an update if things had changed, and him asking the question seems to be him recognising that himself .... so it's not impossible that an extra show has been added, even if it's perhaps unlikely.

Tbh convenient tour dates aside, the only thing making them seem likely was thinking there was nowhere left for them to play that we'd thought of - there really isn't an appropriate venue left at Glastonbury so would've been surprised if they were booked and shoved on West Holts or something

Why have Sigur Ros when you can have Bring Me the Horizon? 

[kingcrawler]

What a time to be alive

I wouldn't say they're ruled out yet. As has been proved time and time again, what is said in a press release is a moment in time! Just because there was two gigs, doesn't mean there can't be a third now.....or maybe Glasto was always the second gig and this Bristol one is in fact the third.

the third......third, hird,ird ,rd ,d ,d ,d *echo on into infinity*

YASSSSSSSSSS!

[evilduck]

It's happening! If they clash with LCD I will cry.

In a perfect world they're playing on Sunday at the park......but I have a sneaking suspicion they might be John Peel Headliners.

[Justiceforcedave]

LCD/Sigur Ros would be the worst clash since Cave/Pumpkins!

[jparx]

Tremendous news! I was utterly convinced they wouldn't be there so this is a great surprise.

yeah could easily be JP. so hard to tell any of the placings from the layout of that poster

[russycarps]

Is it worth comparing the poster to last year's to decipher the placings? They must be headlining somewhere

[cwaite123]

Best day ever!

[Tuna]

I told you guys they'd be there! Shite. Now I needs me a ticket. 3/4 Primavera headliners all playing low slots, they've done quite well ey.

[Matt42]

truly let out a squeal of excitment 

I'l be that guy crying okay?

[sloseph]

This, was hoping for all of you :3

[Digital Monkey (Womad)]

Excited by this although fairly predictable. They were playing a festival in Bristol on Thursday and I think Dublin on the Sunday.

I'd guess they would possibly be on "Other" maybe late afternoon/early evening on probably the Friday

A lot of the muggles here had given up hope because they were only meant to be playing two UK shows this year; one is Citadel in London and the other as you say in Bristol.

they will insist on nighttime, especially after the bestival debacle I'd have thought

Are we discounting Other headine because of NO, LCD, Disclosure.

[buddiepaul]

Late night in the Park would be good

[Justiceforcedave]

Has anyone considered the quite incredible possibility that they could Sub LCD Soundsystem playing as the sun goes down?

[Tuna]

Won't happen @Justiceforcedave

 

"sigur rós would like to apologise to anyone disappointed not to see the band’s bestival performance live online last night. early in the day a decision had been made to delay broadcast till after the show to give the band a chance to review the footage ahead of webcast, since they were dismayed that their guaranteed “darkness” slot had been pushed into daylight by the expansive demands of the headliner. the band’s only uk show of the year, this would-be highlight of the 2012 calendar, would have to be conducted without proper lights or visuals. sadly then, a perfect storm of production issues and technical problems conspired to mean that the band went on to have a thoroughly miserable experience on stage too. and to spare everyone’s blushes a decision was made to draw a discrete veil over proceedings. sorry, but we can be so much better than what you missed. another time, for sure."
