McCor Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I know they are at R&L, and played Glasto last year, but I would love to see them on the farm again this year. They tore the roof off Ally Pally recently. High on The Other Stage would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01seb Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Would hope they would be 3rd down or subbing Other Stage. They did play last year, but the new album has come out since then. So I hope they would play again this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Missed them last year... got to gate C and my wife realised she'd left her ticket in the caravan... *grits teeth "don't worry darling it's fine, it's only a 40 minute round trip back and I didn't want to see them anyway" Edited March 1, 2017 by Deaf Nobby Burton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkic Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Do they get a lot of airtime on R1 or something? 2 Pyramid slots in 5 years? For a band that aren't really that good. Fair play to their booking agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deaf Nobby Burton Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Can't remember the year, but they were the darlings of the festival once, even the BBC coverage music was them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a band that aren't really that good. Fair play to their booking agent. Their first Pyramid slot kind of made sense because they were a current hot ticket act who were obviously on the rise and Glastonbury has a tendency to give one or two acts of their stature a similar big break every once in a while. Last years Pyramid slot was kind of baffling though and the muted reception to the album that followed highlighted that. I think/hope they won't be booked again this year as it'd essentially be the same setlist (see also: Bastille). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_oxymoron Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Right, so. Two Door Cinema Club are my favourite band, and I would welcome any opportunity to see them. However, I don't think they would be a great booking for the festival this year. As noted, they played last year, and the album hasn't exactly set the world alight (despite being brilliant, probably their best). But beyond that, they are the name I have seen on the most line ups, not just in the UK, but in Europe and further afield. They would probably be the least exclusive booking going, and not an exciting one for the festival no matter how excited I would be personally. They have always been quite poor at updating their setlists anyway, the first four songs are usually the same, in the same order, and pretty much all from the first record. LOVED the Ally Pally show but considering that was their own tour for (you'd assume) the more devoted fans I was sad they didn't switch it up and put more of the new album in there. Glastonbury a year on, yeah it'd be 95% the same setlist as last time. I applaud them though for making themselves such a staple of the festival scene despite not selling many albums of late at all. They really are a cracking live act so I completely understand why and if they were on the line up I'd be delighted, but I'm not expecting it and hope for some more exciting names *for the festival* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of their songs soundtracked the 2011 Glastonbury coverage, so if you've seen any of that then you've heard at least a bit, and if you've heard that then you've pretty much heard the rest of their songs too.

king_oxymoron Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Haha, @FloorFiller while that is certainly true of their early stuff (which had bizarre names so it was hard to know which was which anyway), there is a definitive shift in sound for the latest album. Far less reliance on upbeat guitar riffs and a shift to a more midtempo sound, while retaining catchy melody. Songs like 'Bad Decisions' and 'Fever' are a bit 'updated Bee Gees', and are very different from the title track 'Gameshow' or something like 'Lavender'. So I can understand that thought process, but there's definitely a wider variety of sound on their more recent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
