Who's Touring Around Glastonbury 2017?

[SwedgeAntilles]

I'm right in saying that's the first UK festival date for Car Seat Headrest this year isn't in? 

Good line up that. 

[FloorFiller]

Somebody mentioned over in the EOTR section that Mac DeMarco a UK festival exclusive which is disappointing, although not totally unsurprising considering he was only at Glastonbury last year.

[mjsell]

Yes Car Seat Headrest finally being on a UK lineup. Parquet Courts as well.

Julie Byrne way, way down that lineup as well - I know a lot of people are loving her new one.

[big__phil]

Think EOTR is probably winning lineup of the year so far. Would love to see Parquet Courts, Alvvays, Real Estate, Foxxygen, Car Seat, Bill Ryder-Jones, Marika Hackman and Julie Byrne as well as one or two others. Bit surprised Spoon aren't on the there though.

I'd also see Japanese Breakfast on the basis of the band name alone.

Would be great to get both of those. Is EOTR maybe a bit too late in the summer though to be getting our hopes up?

I got it bang on haha, it is 20+fees. According to Manchester Academy's website anyway. If there's one thing I know it's The Cribs.

What I like about The Cribs is that they have loads of hits, not just a band that have 4/5 songs you like and the rest you deal with and they don't try overcharge what they are.

Very very happy with teh EOTR lineup. It is, at least, different.

 

Yes. First UK sightings of the lesser spotted Alvvays and Car Seat Headrest.

Also Lemon Twigs, Bill Ryder Jones and Jesus and Mary Chain. 

 

Get them all in and around the farm please.

Yeah that's the worry. Maybe a few of those more likely for Bestival instead - what with RDB supposedly saying they are going back towards a more indie feel.

Personally if I like 4/5 songs by a band I tend to like the rest too. But yeah, there's rarely filler on a Cribs record. Main thing for me is how varied their music is, I don't like when they get thrown in with some of the other shite that was big 10 years ago, they really are pretty unique.

so, between having tickets for eotr and primavera, its eased my panic about not getting tickets for Glastonbury. Although obviously will still be pulling out all the stops in April for the resale

There are a few bands like that for me where I'm like £30, probably closer to £35 now is just too much sometimes for what I like.  I don't find all The Cribs albums to be great but I like how they play what they know you want to hear you hear and not too much of new new stuff.

I've seen them 11 times now so the stuff I want to hear is what they don't play! Tbf they're usually good to play one or two gems per gig/tour that don't usually get played so it doesn't get stale. I nearly went down to London for the old skool show in September but after the summer I was too skint, that would have been amazing. They just played stuff up to 2005. We Can No Longer Cheat You has annoyingly eluded me last few years despite being played on occasion, really would love to hear that song live one day.

Yeah I'd like to hear Another Number and Cheat again.

True, however until proved otherwise I'm taking this as good news. Take solace in the fact that until this morning there was no guarantee they'd be in the UK over the summer at all.

The Japanese are far ahead of us in many ways, but they are seriously lacking in the breakfast department. They need some serious scrambled egg lessons.

Liking her yeah. Playing Leeds and London in late May and still in the UK late August. Theres a Glasto shaped hole you could fly a jumbo jet through.

Thats crazy talk. Bento boxes are the destroyer of hangovers.

Depends what you consider as 'ahead' in terms of breakfast. In deliciousness maybe. In obesity rates.. also yes, but not in a good way.

Just saw her dates - will definitely be going to the Manchester one. After forking out ridiculous money for other gigs lately it's so satisfying to only have to pay a tenner for this one. Can see this album breaking in to my AOTY - can't get enough of it

Where did you see the dates? 

[AdamWillingham]

She's also playing a small festival down in Totnes run by Drift Record Shop in late August. If you're around the area I definitely recommend checking it out.

Really hoping Foxygen have sorted out their live performances. I saw them at Primavera a few years ago and they were atrocious. Also intrigued to see how well the new album comes across live

Also saw them at Primavera, They were shocking!
They barley played anything from 'We are the 21st century...' and I was completely uninterested in Star Power.
