CaledonianGonzo Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I guess that the Coachella confirmation tends towards making this more likely. I know the assumption is WH, but could they maybe be on in Silver Hayes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 They are, but then they deleted the tweet. At this point I'd assume they're playing, but they wouldn't be the first act to self confirm via social media and then be nowhere to be found come lineup o'clock.

They also confirmed they were playing Coachella and then deleted that tweet, so the fact they've been announced for that gives more reason to believe they'll also be at Glastonbury. Plus there is the whole Emily following them on Instagram thing too. I still had concerns, even after the tweet that they wouldn't be on the farm, as they had no dates announced beyond Australia this month. But the fact they're at Coachella makes me feel certain they'll be at Glastonbury too. Saturday Park headliner, or sub into Justice on WH would be perfect. As long as they avoid a Radiohead clash I don't care too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbadger Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 So no European dates at all as of yet, and Spank Rock who has been playing live with them has been announced for a festival in Wisconsin the weekend before Glastonbury. Is it too early to start doubting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0paz Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 They've just announced UK dates the week of Glasto so no doubts about Them turning up now. I'll probably go see them in Bristol anyway though to avoid any clash nightmares... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen any videos of their recent live stuff Neil? How does the set up compare to back in 2001? Obviously there is only a couple of the original 2001 members left, but is the set up the same with just replacement live members? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbain55 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I saw them live at V in 2001 and they were incredible. I'm going to try and see them in Bristol as a Glasto warm up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so pissed off that the following weekend at Creamfields they weren't able to play live cos one of them had broken his leg (cos kicked off stage by another member mid-show during the week between).

I think the use of fresh vocals on Wildflower has probably necessitated having singers there. From the reports I read Splendour and their comeback shows were a bit shaky, but the ones after were much better. What was 2001 like? We're they mixing other things live and playing over the top or was it just their own stuff? I've been so excited ever since they replied to my tweet saying they were playing, even more so since knowing they won't clash with Radiohead. Also seems they've scheduled a 2 week European tour specifically to play Glastonbury as well so it seems much more special, as opposed to having an act who is doing the rounds anyway. Obbiously means a lot to them, can seeing it being a mad crowd for it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
