popcornmaster Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 With the announcement of their pre-album gigs announced the 20th & 21st of June. Anyone else feeling them doing a secret slot? Opening the Other Stage or playing a Park set? I reckon they'd be a great little secret act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ticketboy69 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 That would be great and it would make my wife very happy. They're a very good live band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyhana22 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Would love to see them again; as others have said, their 2015 WG set was incredible and had me in tears. But Other openers they are not! Leave that to the likes of Kaisers, MSP, Beady Eye. You know, THOSE kind of bands! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario man Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Bloody hope they pop up somewhere- wasn't there in 2015 but heard the WG show was something special - even the band say it's up there with their best ever gigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've loved them since before their first album and for their weird take pop but let's be honest they have a broad Radio 1 appeal too. I think they'd smash the opening and they'd pull a decent crowd.

I don't disagree, ppm, I just don't think they fit the typical brief for that slot at all, is all. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheers and applause after one song went on for about two minutes. The band were clearly taken aback. I wouldn't expect a secret set from them - I fully expect them to be on the full lineup announcement. Those two gigs simply have to be Glastonbury warmups to play the new material live a couple of times before the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They literally pulled a massive crowd on the Other Stage in 2015. Nowhere have I said they're as big or popular as the band's mentioned but I still think they'd pull a sizeable crowd in that slot.

It was...incredible Genuinely one of my favourite ever moments watching live music and, like many of us, I've seen a lot. So astonished and touched was Jonathan Higgs by how well the crowd seemed to know new material released only days before, and so taken aback was he by the phenomenal crowd singing, belting it out in this song, that he had two moments when he was so emotional and tearful that he had to stop singing briefly. One of those spine tingling moments that will stay with me forever. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popcornmaster Posted June 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p055tlld - about 30/40 seconds in. New single thoughts? I really bloody like it. How certain is there Williams Green set? I'm hearing mixed news outside of here and Clashfinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Neil had fairly strong info on them being there. Especially given the confirmations for that stage when everything else was announced 2 weeks ago.

nickharley Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I was banking on them being at WG on the Thursday so I hope it's true! One of my best mates saw them in 2015 had nothing but amazing things to say about that gig especially when they played No Reptiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is definitely one of my, if not the favourite ever live music moment I've had. Hoping for a repeat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash011 Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Really love that Can't Do. Very immediate dance pop banger but so distinctively them - that'll get WG going next Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's normally the song I like least by the time the album comes out (possibly because I've heard it most) but it's normally a pretty strong mission statement.
