Guess anyone who was hoping to go to that will have to settle for this:

There really is some dross out there this summer, isn't there.

If this is in reference to Jazzy James above, you're summoning the wrath of Mums everywhere

Assuming he’s planning 2-3 London shows, it is cynical as hell to announce the Sunday night in isolation

I assume so as well. There's nothing on at the O2 for a few days after that.

[charlierc]

This is an interesting one for multiple reasons, whether it's Kings of Leon having Bristol and London as big outdoor shows but the rest indoors, or the GSH.

However, what the poster misses is that on Thursday 27 June, KoL have a festival show in Austria. I don't really know if that makes Glastonbury more or less likely. If they have another European show on Friday 28th, they're absolutely out.

I wonder if the irony of the most boring live band on the circuit naming their tour "can we please have fun" is lost on them

[CaledonianGonzo]

Context is key

Each to their own but think it's a terribly middle of the road lineup for bigger acts. Last years was much better.

Billy Ocean and Feeder help that immensely. Some tunes for days.

I'm old enough to remember Razorlight headlining Reading/Leeds and Johnny Borrell being hailed as the next Bono. That worked.

Still undecided as to whether I am up for seeing them on their upcoming tour. They have a good reputation live?

Seen 'em twice, and the first time was a little bit hit and miss - was at the Ritz in Manchester though, which I'm less enamoured with.

Second time was at O2 Academy Leeds, another venue famed for its sound issues, but they knocked it out of the park. Tight as a drum, and it helped they were touring the hits.

Feeder tend to like playing the new record though. I'd expect at least a quarter of their set to be material from their latest, if not more. Depends if you're happy with that concession.

Where's your nearest date?

A fairly contrasting pair of emotions though. I know they have said they have a new double album on the way, so I suspect that songs on there will feature whereas I only know a handful of songs.

Nearest show is the Oxford O2 Academy, which I had great sound at for a Band of Skulls gig and mediocre sound for a Marmozets one. And presumably main room, not the upstairs smaller room where I saw The Japanese House last October.

Think I'll wait until seeing setlists from the first few shows of their upcoming tour and see what they look like.

Probably best to play it by ear. They are one of those bands who could absolutely ignite a ninety-minute show by sticking close to the obvious ones.

Jockstrap has toured here already and sold it out last leg. We like them? 

Oh I don’t doubt that - they’re good. But I know a lot of people here who like Blur and who might be challenged by some of Jockstrap’s more esoteric material. If they only went because they liked the “woo-hoo” song… 🙂

Great setlist, but that's some f**king encore.  If I was in the pit for that, it would end me.

I will almost certainly be going to the Paloma Faith day. OMG It's The Church an unexpected bonus if they are on the same day

Huh I saw the comedian Phil Wang wearing a t-shirt with that slogan and their logo on while making a TV show appearance, but I didn't realise it was an actual band.

[glimmers_of_hope]

Looks like LCD are playing Bristol forwards festival. I don't know if this makes them more or less likely. It's there usually a crossover?

Fantastic live act. Saw them at Womad and where excellent 

[-TLR-]

 

and they want £55 for the Glasgow show!

ha ha ha!

still, i'm not surprised - after all, this is the same band that just re-releases the same four albums over and over again every couple of years just on crappy different colour vinyls...

 

(so if i, evidently, dislike them so much then why am i mentioning it? well because i was there at the start and used to love them and still love the first album... which i shall admit i have several different copies of on several different crappy coloured vinyls...)
