Belle and Sebastian

[home to you]

I thought they were ace, definitely one of my highlights from last year! In the build-up to the fest I was adamant I wanted them to headline somewhere but their slot on the Other was a good fit in the end.

If the Sunday this year is even half as good as last year, we're gonna have a ball!

Agree with all the sentiments - they were fantastic last year in the late afternoon slot. The new sound slots in to the setlist really well. Can't wait to see what they do next after these shows.

I walked past them on my way to The Fall and do I remember correctly that one of them had a Kanye level rant for 5 minutes? I was in a bad way so might have fabricated this out of nowhere...

It wasn't a rant he just spoke about the Scottish referendum and a few other things for a couple of minutes. It was pleasant and well-received (as if you'd expect anything else from B&S).

Yeah, he was basically saying not to take Scots wanting independence personally and that he loved you all. It was very nice.

He was on my flight back to Glasgow on Sunday, was totally starstruck.

Ah my bad, it was sandwiched between trying to get away from the pyramid and prolonged exposure to The Fall so that particular memory file seems to have been corrupted.

I think he may even have joked about it being a bit of a Kanye rant.

It's at the end of the clip I posted on the previous page....

I'd expect new music rather than later given the way his career as a movie director is going....

Have just realised the two tickets I have to see B&S play at the Royal Albert Hall clash with the Thursday of Glasto. if anyone on here has tickets for the Wednesday night concert, was unfortunate enough to not get a Glasto ticket and would rather see the Thursday night let me know as I'd be happy to swap.

[Girlwiththemostcake]

I had tickets to both nights but will be heading to Glastonbury on Tuesday so can't go to either. Devastated to miss these gigs. I've sold the Wednesday night tickets to a friend but still have four Thursday tickets. 2 x stalls seats and 2 x circle seats (restricted view).

If anyone wants these at face value (plus whatever booking fee I paid) then let me know, but I expect most people on here are also going to be at Glastonbury!
