See it'd almost be worth standing through a lot of the other bollocks they'll play if it meant I get to see this and possibly one or two older songs live. Almost.

Still can't get my head around In The Name of The Wee Man not being on the proper tracklist though, that's a banger. Agreed. Is Don't Won't Can't on the standard album? I do enjoy that too.

Gacheezbo Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I've been lucky and they've played Justboy more often than not when I've seen them. T-une. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mezhyp1 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I see this as an acceptance from Biffy that they never quite hit the big time, good on them for accepting a non headline slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it's the first step towards their inevitable decline down lineups - guess that's why they did Reading/Leeds last year and Download this year before the headliner offers stopped coming in.

Ipayne Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Definitely didn't expect these on the lineup. As much as I'm not a fan of Ellipsis I'll definitely go see them again, always loved their live shows! In regards to their older stuff they played Justboy and Wave Upon Wave on their arena tour earlier this year but I doubt either of those will get a peep at Glasto. I reckon we may get 57 or Glitter and Trauma but that'd be our lot to be honest. Great booking regardless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richy24 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Saw them play Strung to your Ribcage a couple of years ago which is a great tune. Think this was the exception rather than the (golden) rule though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy101 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I fear that this is the last setlist of theirs that I will really enjoy. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/biffy-clyro/2010/wembley-arena-london-england-43d2a39b.html even though at the time I remember being in a rage that they closed on Mountains. The first time I saw them was in the Fez Club in Reading in 2002. It was a real eye opener and a big contribution into me getting into live music even though they only played for about 40 minutes and Simon was so wasted he couldn't support his own body weight. I've only just now realised that's 15 years ago and now I feel old. I don't really like their most recent albums but will always have a soft spot for the first 3 and the band as a whole.

FloorFiller Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 The more I think about it the more I reckon I'll probably show up for this (if they're Foos sub). Be nice for nostalgia's sake and I know they're one of the very few acts one of the guys I'm going with is excited about so would hate to drag him elsewhere/leave him on his own. I'm sure I'll be loving it once I'm all tanked up. My voice will be hoarse as shit by the end of the Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have done with swapping some of the deluxe bonus tracks into the standard album. Having said that, perhaps it doesn't really matter to most people in the streaming era anyway.

jparx Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Kids from Kibble Jaggy Snake Some Kind of Wizard All the Way Down Bodies in Flight Toys Joy.Disc.Inv Wave Upon Wave If they play any 3 of those it would be worth standing through the shite. They won't though, so I'll be elsewhere. Decent booking though. Always good to steal a headliner and plonk them before someone even bigger.

True, I still buy CDs for the car though and I'd have preferred DWC track 2 with Friends & Enemies.. well, wherever I didn't have to listen to it as often.

They either get bumped up should one of the top 3 need to cancel for whatever reason, otherwise they will come back in a few years as headliner? First Variety Bazaar headliner?

jonodillieono Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 They're not gonna play anything of the first 3 albums and probably 1-2 off Puzzle Everything else will be the last 3 albums, stop getting your hopes up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence intended to the other second-line acts - but Biffy are a proven headliner at this level. If someone cancelled through illness, Biffy could very easily step into the void with a Pyramid-stage-worthy set at fairly short notice. It would probably go the way of Gorillaz in terms of reaction - but I feel they may always be one that never quite got there in the end, which would've been a shame.

Indeed, and I agree with agree others that it's a big booking but tbh they are very quickly approaching the sub level again. Andy slated them last time and probably hyped then up from Reading last year so he didn't look too silly booking them this year. I also have to say though that them in a sub position I think shows how being the top line could look out of place. 6 hours ago, reflekting said: I wonder whether Glastonbury have given them the same offer as Florence in 2015 or Kasabian in 2009?

They won't be headlining, if they didn't see them as a headliner through the years of topping Reading 1st time, T and IOW then they won't now.

Yokel Again Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Park set was so busy we watched from right up near the back by the ribbon tower - sound was tin pot. However, it was bloody boiling so had a great time drinking and chatting instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRLY Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'm pretty sure they played nothing pre-Puzzle when I saw them last summer in Lisbon. It was dire, only worsened by Band of Horses that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JID Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Hopefully they are not still touring/promoting Elipsis album this summer and they throw a few oldies in, 2 hr set and nothing pre-Puzzle in Dublin end of last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they're expected to dig deep for Download, maybe some of those tracks could surface. The War Child show showed that they're still comfortable playing the older stuff.
