I really want them to be down on the farm this year Singer James Skelly tweeted that the band had some festival dates booked. One follower replied saying "hope Glasto is one". He subsequently 'liked' it. Thank goodness for Twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 was surprised that The Coral haven't been at the festival thus far so they're due an appearance, and would make a perfect Other opener so i'm gonna take a punt at them being that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPT probably more likely yeah, but reckon they'd make a decent stab at the Other opener, even if just to get the crowd going with those couple of big songs they have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted January 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 The Coral were fucking awful when I saw them in Notts last years. Seem perfect for the slot after the Other opener, like The Cribs/Blossoms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they're even as big a deal as The Charlatans and their couple of big songs might not have even lasted well. They'd only be two or three off the bottom of the Other Stage bill anyway so I'd rather that than in front of the Friday morning crowd.

Not majorly expecting them in the 1st drop but at least for the full announcement there will be 1 act interesting, this year's 2nd drop came and went. 18 minutes ago, FloorFiller said: was surprised that The Coral haven't been at the festival thus far so they're due an appearance, and would make a perfect Other opener so i'm gonna take a punt at them being that I don't see that, they don't quite have that thing about them that previous opening acts have. I did expect them to be there but I'd go and see them again on the farm clash permitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMMAN Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I am a coral fan but no way can I see them opening...I've got tickets to see them a few weeks after Glastonbury in Manchester where they are SUPPORTING Blossoms...(only got tickets to see Coral) as much as I like them they just don't have the pull to open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Skelly produced their album and they were on his label. He's helping them and exposing a new generation to his own band who were probably in nappies when their hits came out.

Don't mind Blossoms though, so should be a good day out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair that's the only place I ever hear RH, Elbow or PJ Harvey as well but I don't think the new album got them any higher. I'd fully expect them on Other as in JP higher up a lot less people would care. 40 minutes ago, RAMMAN said: Yer fair point....still it would surprise me if they opened I don't think there is a chance of them opening Other stage, James and The Charlatans have history etc and Beady Eye had Liam, Kaisers was probably due to being stuck.
