MilkyJoe Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 With a new album out in February and tour dates announced surely they will be back at the farm next year but where would they play? Starting to think they could be a headliner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russycarps Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I've a dreadful feeling they could headline the other stage, given the "special relationship" the sycophantic lead singer has with the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you be dreading that if you never leave the Pyramid field? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FakeEmpire Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 They've downgraded from arenas to academies on the new tour so I think it's safe to say they've missed the boat as a headliner. Pyramid sub or Other headliner for them and I think those slots are already oversubscribed for 2017 so I wouldn't be surprised if they skipped the festival next year.

CaledonianGonzo Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Not so keen on the new stuff, but I've got a lot of time for the early classics like One Day Like This. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkyJoe Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Yeah I was thinking Other headliner but think they could also be considered for Pyramid headliner too. As you say he does seem to have a relationship with the festival! 1 hour ago, russycarps said: I've a dreadful feeling they could headline the other stage, given the "special relationship" the sycophantic lead singer has with the festival.

Little Andy Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I used to think of early Elbow as a bit Radiohead-lite. Less so nowadays as they're a bit more commercial sounding. Dunno whether that affects their chances of playing before Radiohead more or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_C Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 They will never headline the Pyramid now. Sub at very best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I still have a lot of time for Elbow and wouldn't mind seeing them pop up at some point. Headlining is well beyond them now, subbing isn't - they are at least on a par with or more popular than Tame Impala or Beck. That said they subbed in 2014 and would be back with pretty much the same schtick. Third on Sunday after the legend would be my bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooter Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Seriously, I hope this pile of shite doesn't get anywhere near Glastonbury ever again. They are boring as hell, and believe me I've listened to some boring poor quality music but this stuff is out of this world and takes the fukkin biscuit. In fact I'm totally sure they are another "rocknroll swindle", as in conning and brainwashing the naïve twats that think they're absolutely brilliant. If they played my local social club I'd want my money back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooter Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Sorry, didn't mean to sound offensive and if you love them then good for you. I like all sorts of music and I'm fully aware Elbow are an acquired taste, but I reckon I know when a band is taking the total piss and Elbow imo definitely are. The Pistols did it very well but Elbow do it badly, it's an obvious swindle and fuk knows why they have any fans at all. My 10 year old Boxer dog can sing better than that bloke.
