Mark Lanegan....that is brilliant news.

Screaming Trees one of my all time favourites...hopefully will indulge his back catalogue back that far.

I'd have thought it'll either be there or Other. 

Also I guess that's a 2-4-1 self confirm at it seems to suggests Lyenn, whoever they are, will be playing too. 

[Mezhyp1]

That's a good one so it is

Holy fucking moly @The Nal get in here.

I saw him supporting Dark Mark last year (he also played bass in his band) and he was very good n'all. Brooding arty folk rock type stuff.

This has totally made up for being gutted at missing out on the tour dates when I saw the UK show announcements this morning.  Dark Mark at Glastonbury, that just has to be done.  Big enough to headline The Park maybe? 

[Mardy]

I met Lanegan last year. He's exactly as grumpy and dismissive as you'd expect. I wasn't disappointed. 

Anyway, clearly one of the greatest voices in music. Can't see how he'd work outdoors on a sunny day, but there you go

[Avalon_Fields]

Great news about Lanegan...have to play 'Blues Funeral' today in anticipation.

Sadly he isn't one for looking back. I don't think he ever plays Screaming Trees stuff.

Me too, met him after the Union Chapel show and you're right! His voice is perfect for intimate venues, so I'll repeat what I said in another thread, I'd like to see him headline the acoustic tent.

Great news to wake up to, wherever he plays. I have a feeling this year is going to be a belter

Judging from how he speaks about it, I'm not sure he even likes that whole era of his work.

But would love to hear him singing  Winter Song - "Jesus knocking, at my door"

But with a voice like his, I'll listen to him cover Bieber and it will still sound good.

He did a couple last year on the tour. Halo of Ashes and Where the Twain Shall Meet if I remember correctly

Lucky you!  Not seem him since EOTR in about 2012. Was great then. Such an incredible sonorous voice

[The Nal]

Ooh yes sir!! New tune released today too.

 

[your mother]

Does he ever play any of the Soulsavers stuff? Don't really know him well but would love to hear You will miss me when I burn

[Tilted]

His gig with Duke Garwood in Leeds last year was a top night 

Lost track the amount of times I've saw him, loved when Queens of the Stoneage had him as a live member 

[Gnomicide]

I don't think I've ever knowingly heard anything by him. Know the name but that's it, intrigued now, where's a man to start?

[big__phil]

I also don't have a great deal of knowledge of Mr Lanegan beyond a couple of very good records he did with Isobel Campbell. I'd imagine that's a bit of a change of pace to his normal output.

[The Nal]

My personal fave is Whiskey for the Holy Ghost. Also recently re-released on vinyl. Despite him telling me after a gig a few months previously that there were no plans to do so. 

Lovely bloke. A handshake, grunted a few words of thanks (I think) and on we went.

For the sort if stuff he's doing now? Try Blues Funeral, Phantom Radio or (my favourite) Bubblegum. There's an anthology of earlier stuff, something about God and Shadows, can't remember the exact title. Any of those will give you a flavour of what he's about.

well, I'm surprised ... Lanagan's people have now sent out a press release - and including the Glasto date. I would have thought it would have got jumped on.

Small self confirm but most likely a main stage one - highlife legend Pat Thomas & Kwashibu Area Band. 

This album that came out last year on Strut is a bit of a belter.

Though why Isaac Hayes is on the cover I have no idea.

I've seen him a few times and never heard him play any trees stuff.

Can't go wrong with any screaming trees stuff but as said above he never seems to play it. Bubblegum is my favourite of his solo stuff though, absolutely cracking album.

Halo of ashes is one of my all time favourites, so is the album though! Definitely in my top five albums ever!

Has to be West Holts, surely?!
