It'll probably be one of those from London who goes off on tour with them - I'd guess Francis & The Lights with FloPo DJing

Playing way out West in gothenburg in August, might skip them at glastonbury unless they sub radiohead 

[ConorC]

Still no support announcement for the non-Brixton dates?

What a line up that is!

[Tuna]

Looks like there's gonna be a lot of afterparties...

First one @ Corsica studios, 

 

 

Definitely going to be Joy Orbison (he's playing Brixton that night too), but unsure of the other. Seems Phonox are gonna have an afterparty too on the Thursday. After seeing Ben UFO b2b Beatrice Dillon beforehand, that has potential to be one hell of a night. Especially as Robyn is DJing on Saturday after supporting. Hope people have booked Friday off work :-)

XX have been moved to the park on the lineup/rumours page.

Surely that's not right. 7 sold out nights in Brixton. Highly successful and critically acclaimed third album. It's pyr sub or Other head suuuuurely

The thinking is it'll be a (not-so) secret set

As it's an aniversary of the Park Stage I think there will be lots of interesting stuff going on up there this year. I can see The XX playing more than once over the weeked. The last time they played, they did a set on the BBC stage (in the Park area) as well as The Other Stage.

Ah I forgot it was the anniversary of the Park Stage - guess that may lend itself to them re-introducing secret sets of this calibre, although if so I'd be interested to see what safety precautions they introduce, 'cause regardless of if people know it's The xx or not, a daytime secret set on the Park is gonna attract a shit ton of people.

BBC Introducing is in like, Silver Hayes, man.

they're listed twice, on the park as SR - from something someone posted on here - and for unknown stage as a TBC.

(or that's what it should be, anyway).

Anyone know who the support act is for the U.K. Tour (apologies if it's already been asked here!)

[mufcok]

Went to watch them in Lyon last week having only listened to a few of the singles, they were excellent

Will definitely try and catch them at Glastonbury

Floating Points but we got there too late for that unfortunately

Sunset got a tour debut tonight. So bloody happy about that. Hope it stays for another week and a bit.

[Lucy92]

Heard Francis and the lights are supporting the Nottingham date (still to be confirmed)

Same here, only listened to it for the first time a few nights ago, thought it was great. Lips and A Violent Noise are ace, and one other which I can't remember the title of.

These would be absolute perfection before Radiohead in my opinion.

[Muppetmark]

How close to the curfew have they been playing (need to sort travel afterwards)?
