Soulwax

[mpdow2]

A few questions Neil.

You have TBC for Soulwax on Sunday. Had a couple of sort of related questions:

1) What info do you have on Soulwax playing?

2) Any idea what stage they would play?

3) With Justice and Moderat already down for playing Sunday, do you have any info on stage/times for them? I imagine a number of people here would like to see all 3.

[Joshuwarr]

Ooooh I'd not noticed this. Have heard amazing things about their latest live shows so this would be ace. Somewhere in Silver Hayes I recon.

[jparx]

New record is tremendous.

I reckon they will be on a "proper" stage rather than Silver Hayes. 3rd from top on whichever stage Justice end up playing (WH?) would be good but I have no idea at all if that's feasible.

WH Soulwax in to Justice on Sunday? Could be a lovely disco electro rock finish to the weekend

I went to their Manchester show last week and was blown away!  Absolutely amazing live set.  I'd seen them twice before and left a bit underwhelmed both times but the current tour is next level.

I believe they gave a coy response to 6music when asked if they were playing which many took as a near enough self confirmation.

Personally if the Soulwax -> Justice dream on WH happens I'll be in so excited, can't think of a better way to dance out the festival!

Did they play anything of their early albums, or was it just new stuff?

They dropped Krack nice and early (which was the one I really wanted to hear) and E-Talking came in towards the end.  I want to say NY Excuse as well.

I may have had a couple of beers in the sun beforehand so the specifics are blurry...

[Simpo]

Yep, those were present and correct, as were Another Excuse and Miserable Girl

Krack

E talking

Ny excuse

Another excuse

Miserable girl

They were the highlights of the set by far, the new stuff was great live but lacks the kick and funness of the older stuff

[priest17]

I'm aware of a lot of work from the past but found out from 6music they're playing with 3 drummers these days, has it always been this way? Need to check out this new stuff anyway and probably see them live, more drummers = more oh my God this is blowing me away.

(King Gizzard and Thee Oh Sees make it seem weird you'd only play with 1 drummer)

[mpdow2]

Any info Neil? Thanks

They had three when I saw them in Bilbao in July. They were also very good!

Heard something about this too, even more of a reason to see them. Them followed by Justice or vice versa would be a great end to the weekend.

[chris_top_her]

What would the chances of a 2 Many DJs set at Arcadia too I wonder.....

[Daniel_White]

Really hope they're playing. Lost count the amount of times I've seen them but that new live show is insane! The perfect mixture of old and new tracks. If they are playing, chances are 2manydjs will be playing too (hopefully Arcadia again).

[nowthen2k6]

New Album is fucking great. The latest live shows look the business too from what I've seen on youtube etc, and yeah they do have 3 drummers on those. Really hope they turn out at Glastonbury but just incase they don't or horrible clash Ive got a ticket for the Saturday at Bluedot with the added bonus of Orbital. 

[verrymerry]

Saw 2 Many DJs in the Dance Village a few years but I'd love to see Soulwax, that'd be fabulous

[Grinding aftertaste]

Downgraded from TBC tobacco rumour?? Say it ain't so!!

Got shows on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so looking unlikely.

[DJ Cull]

I'm gutted, they were set to be the highlight of my Sunday.

[stuartbert two hats]

Aww man! I was just about to comment about how I'd given the new album another listen and it had clicked with me.
