Tour Announcements & Upcoming Gigs

[SwedgeAntilles]

Enjoy, best live act in Britain today.

[crocodiles]

On train for few beers before young fathers ... let's hope it happens this time ?

[FloorFiller]

Young Fathers were excellent tonight, but shame they came on late and had to miss out a few songs (I Heard being one that I noticed). Hope they show up at the farm - deserve a decent slot.

Aye great gig.

The only positive to come out of Macca not headlining is there's nothing stopping me seeing them again now. And I won't have to walk through snow to get away from them next time.

I see Rag & Bone man is starting his new album ramp up. His set on the Other in ‘16 was proper rammed. One to watch I’d guess?

[crocodiles]

Young fathers were absolutely awesome.  I'll be amazed if I see anyone better this year.  Stunning on every level

4th Pyramid I'd guess, he's dropped off a bit I think otherwise I could have seen 5th.

Bloc Party have been announced to play a gig in Bristol over the Glasto weekend. It’s a series of 4 gigs and in 2017 2 out of 4 headline bands played Glasto too, so I guess there is a good chance they will too. Not my cup of tea but there we go... It’ll be interesting to see who the other 3 are. They should be announced in the next week or so.

Yeah was discussed the other day (playing Brighton on Saturday too).  Praying they turn up on Sunday!!   Interesting that 2 out of 4 played though, who played and who didn’t?

[Guest]

Anybody else notice there was security milling about through the crowd constantly at Young Fathers last night? Wonder what that was about. Amazing show as usual tho

Craig David and Hacienda Classical.

Pretty sure British Sea Power were on the bill too and played Glasto.

He’ll go the same way as Hozier, Gotye, James Bay, Tom Odell and all the other earnest young men who had one song that was massive.

Then he'll be somebody that you used to know

George Ezra not part of the gang no more then?

Rag N the lads will probably get a massive follow up performance on the Pymild before he fades into obscurity.

I reckon he's long graduated from that group, unfortunately. Multiple songs everywhere these days.

Also just saw that they've been announced for Cactus Festival in Belgium. I think that might be confirmation that they're doing the festival circuit, if we didn't know already.

Ezra seems to have pushed through annoyingly, which is especially irritating as he's the worst of the lot!

I know. He’s headlining festivals but we all used to say the same about him.

He's on the same trajectory as Sheeran now, although I doubt he'll go quite as big.

They'll be looking for phone thieves I'd say. At a gig at Brixton last month, plain-clothed security followed a bloke through the middle of the crowd and then took him down in the middle of everyone. Reckon Brixton is targetted a lot due to the type of gig. Venues are increasinly employing security just to seek out these thieves.

Also mentioned the other day that Glasto doesn't really do the anniversary album in full tours.

Ah don't say that! I would love Bloc Party to be there! ... Didn't Primal Scream headline the Other stage with their Screamadelica anniversary tour??

They're actually not just playing the album in full though, there's a few more songs in the set (afterwards). Could see them adjusting it to something like:

So Here We Are

This Modern Love

Positive Tension

Ratchet

Luno

Banquet

The Prayer

She's Hearing Voices

Helicopter

Like Eating Glass

Flux

 

And it would be brilliant. 

[dentalplan]

I think they can click between doing album in full shows and just normal shows. Acts have done that before when they get festival sets that obviously won’t be able to host an album in full.

[Gucci Piggy]

A set like 4th down Other of most of Silent Alarm plus a few other songs would be cool. Wouldn't be desperate to see it as I've seen the new lineup and they weren't great, but I'd defo see them if nothing else was on.
