Tour Announcements & Upcoming Gigs

[Sasperella]

I've never posted in this thread before. Mostly because everyone knows a lot more about gigs than me and I come here for the tips but...

Algiers are great. Blues/rock fusion and so political. They played Leftfield after Fontaines DC and got a criminally small crowd but IMO smashed it anyway. Dates below. If you don't wanna trust some girl you met on the internet on this, the guardian sums it up pretty well:

Just bacj from seeing Primal Scream in Blackburn.

They were on top form. Only seen them 3 other times to varying degrees of success. This was the best. 

Get them on the farm if they play like that. Park headliner would be splendid

Now you’re talking. Would be great to see him back on the farm. Headlined the Ed Stewpot Tent in 1974.

Been a fan of these for a while but their latest song was on a new level, genuinely incredible stuff. Any idea whether that's the direction they're going with or if that was just a burst of creativity? 

Either way I might end up at the Manchester date despite (and dont tell anyone I said this) not really liking the pink room as avenue

I wasn't at Glastonbury this year but I'm glad to hear that at least one person went to see Algiers! Everyone I've asked just replies with a ''who are they?''. One of the best bands on the line up, for me.

Oola  (this wouldn’t be for me, but just wanted to throw in a War of the Worlds reference)

Or maybe acoustic stage?

^ I caught two shows on the last tour. Best gigs I saw last year. Would really like to see him at the festival, but he is historically not too keen (although he did play Werchter recently).

Another +1 for Algiers. Great live and for us London-types they are playing at one of the best venues in town. (I may need the earplugs).

Nick Cave and Swans touring in May, and Nine Inch Nails apparently headlining All Points East. That's gonna be a great month...

What's the source on the NIN rumour?

Someone in another thread. Apparently it's not confirmed yet, it's more that theyr in talks but NIN aren't sure if they want to do their own shows or festivals next year. Supposedly they are in talks with Arcade Fire too.

 

So it's not really a strong rumour but still better than nothing

Keeping my fingers crossed that there's some substance in that rumour!

I just dream of NIN headlining the Other Stage.

That is the dream. I need it.

APE would be good though. Arcade Fire as well seems too good to be true.

Kasabian + Sam Fender have announced a gig in Leicester the weekend before Glastonbury. Last time Kasabian headlined they played Leicester beforehand (which is why I didn’t go then as I would see them on the farm) so history could well be repeating - Other stage headliner on Friday?

COI - I’m from Leicester so have a biased opinion on the band as I know they get a lot of grief

I meant to see them but missed it for reasons I can't quite recall.

I saw him a couple of years ago on one of those heritage tour things (my sister bought me tickets, your honour). On a pretty shocking bill he was easily the worst act, just awful.

That’s got to make Sam Fender pretty likely especially with him pulling out this year due to illness.

Ah I see thanks

secret set wouldn’t surprise (also a weird UK exclusive given it’s their home gig which they’ve done a few times before)
