They hint that they may do live shows next year.  Surely a great booking for Glastonbury.

WH Headliners please

Nice one. I'd say thats more than a hint. Clear desire to play live again - I'd be very much up for seeing them as I've heard how good a live act they were and never got to see it.

West Holts headliner would be great - would they have both them and Justice on there as I'd love to see both? and WH seems ideal for both.

Everybody over to the advert stage!

headlined JPT a few years ago. Doubt there stock has risen much since then. 

Fair point. Where was I? What year?

Headlined Friday night in 2010. Clashed with The Flaming Lips.

According to setlist.fm it was actually Friday in 2010. I watched New model army in Avalon

Ah - No wonder I can't remember....

Issues.

[shuttlep]

saw them do a DJ set one new year at sankeys

 

 

was a good night, they could do a few sets, can't see them headline anything 

[Cornelius_Fudge]

I saw that Friday night headline slot in the JP, probably the only time I've seen a headliner there, but they were off the CHAIN (or whatever the kids say these days!?)

I'd love to see them back, WH sub maybe

I've always preferred their DJ sets to the live stuff (not that there's anything wrong with their live shows)

[stuartbert two hats]

Been listening to their "Little Black Book" album this afternoon and been really enjoying it.  From what I can tell, CD1 is mainly new material and CD2 is a DJ set.  Either way, it's good.  Much less mainstream sounding than I expected.

I'd see them.

Added an apostrophe. Oh the shame.

Came here to post this, seems I'm only three hours too late! Ha. 

I'd love them, sure they could pull of WH having had a 6 year live hiatus. 

I haven't seen them since the Red Light tour and I was pretty disappointed with the show (Bestival, and the state I was in may not have helped) although I've been desperate to see them again! 

[SwedgeAntilles]

I approve, make it happen. 

[tezshields]

Yes. Friday night JPT 2010. Tent got increasingly rammed with people frigging off from U2 repacement, Gorillaz on Pyramid.

Very memorable set. Top notch!

Didn't they also headline The Other or am I imagining that? 2008 maybe?

I remember drunkenly bouncing to them at other stage .   

[Homer]

I've seen them a few times at Glasto and it's never really happened for me - until 08 when they smashed it. Think it was because they were finally headlining in the dark and they mainly just played their more bangin' stuff.

Was a great gig, that one.

Yeah, I remember seeing them mid-afternoon on the Pyramid and subbing the Other before and it was all a bit... unfocused? They were playing some of their slower tunes, all sorts, and it never really went anywhere. In 08, they just played their upbeat stuff (and At the River) and it all just went off.

I was just thinking of those lasers!

Talking of dance acts in hiatus who have played Glasto, I listened to a whole Lemon Jelly album (KY) from start to finish for the first time on Tuesday. They are a lot better an album band than I realised and also very good live. Wiki says they're still officially resting - would be great to see them back!

[deebeedoobee]

I'd love to see them again. Made the mistake of going to Gorillas even though I was not a fan....bad move. Should have gone to the JP. We live and learn I suppose

[nikkic]

I saw them do a DJ set in Space about 5/6 years ago, it was one of the best sets I've ever seen. So if they're on The Farm, get them in The Arcadia for a set as well.
