Sean Keavney just 'accidentally' announced BSP will be Glasto this year

[the wonderwhy]

Fantastic news

[Wakey321]

Excellent news! Seeing them in April in Newcastle but they are a brilliant band!

[MilkyJoe]

Great stuff, they're from my town and always great seeing them live. Clashes permitting of course!

[shuttlep]

I heard that, will be amazing to see them they have completely sold out the tour

[CaledonianGonzo]

There are still tickets left for the Edinburgh show.

[the wonderwhy]

And Manchester. 

Wonder where they'll play. John Peel? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Williams Green?

John Peel would suit them

Think they're too big for that, unless they're doing two sets 

[CaledonianGonzo]

They'd maybe prefer to play to a packed WG than to a half empty JPT.

[rikkirascal]

The Park headline no?

[the wonderwhy]

Potentially but only a 40 minute slot on an awkward stage seems a bit of a waste, especially with a new album to promote. 

New song here anyway 

 

[dentalplan]

Can only see early Other of the main stages. WG would be cool tho.

[SwedgeAntilles]

I've never listened to them, worth a go? Starter from ten?

Do You Like Rock Music is probably my favourite album of theirs. So I'd say either that or work chronologically as the first three are all v.good 

[The Nal]

Good news. Haven't listened to them in years. 

Remember a giant bear on stage during Lately on the Other in 2004.

Cheers Matt, will give it a whirl 

[bennyhana22]

That's ace.

Haven't seen them for years and they're brilliant.

Park would suit them perfectly well, IMO (and better than JPT).

Superb news. Haven't seen them since the Decline show at The Roundhouse. An absolutely superb, giving Sea of Brass a isten to celebrate! The Park would be great, but have they not also played Avalon in the past?

[TomViolence]

Great news! Only caught them once several years ago... I'll be watching them!

[Bradders]

They played Avalon against Neil Young in 2009. Park would be great.

[dondo]

Great band- seen them live loads of times including a couple of times at Glastonbury (Other stage and Leftfield if my memory serves me right)

Won't be at Glastonbury this year which is a shame but will most likely go and see them in Leeds in April

[Zoo Music Girl]

I reckon sub JP maybe? 

They were really good at Blue Dot last year, so would wander along if free. 

[liamium]

My faves. A band deserving of a much wider, mainstream appeal which I selfishly hope (and know) they'll never get. And they have the best band merch!
