the most blatant Glastonbury warm up dates I've ever seen. what slot's he doing? West Holts? Park?

Just been having this discussion with my mate but I can't place him. Leaning towards Park headliner though.

I think someone on here (can't remember who) said they had info on him headlining WH - which I think makes the most sense in terms of crowd size.

I feel like Thom would be a real weird choice for WH, way more of a Park style headliner but agree on crowd size.

Thinking about it. Are they really gonna wait 5 months to tour this new record?? Seems odd.

They did tour just earlier this year. Will probably do Europe before those dates.

They have a few dates in Japan/Australia early next year.

Taylor Swift is waiting 10 months before she starts to tour her album. So whats weird about waiting?

[Earth_pig]

Not a tour announcement but The Hives have a new album out next year and they were great when they played !

After mocking David Gray earlier in the week Mrs J dropped a bombshell on me at 8.45 this morning:

”You know David Gray’s playing the O2 next year? I loved that album, fancy it?”

So now I’m going, on the plus side that’s Christmas sorted.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Think its just they are doing other dates before hand. They are in Japan in March. They have always been a bit odd when touring albums.

Don't understand their insistence on doing odd venues in London with shite transport links and terrible sound/view either.

Is Thom solo that much of a draw? If Hot Chip can play The Park and Sigur Ros can play the John Peel I'd say he would be a good fit for either. Would peg him as a small West Holts headliner for sure.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Would get a big crowd of people hoping for Radiohead songs who would then gradually empty out as they realised they didn't like what they were hearing.

How that's different from an actual Radiohead show I'm not sure.

The IIcon stage would be a good fit, the light show would work well.

How were they? I'm off to their Cardiff show on Thursday.

I'm never going to be their biggest fan as I'm just not a glam rock kind of chick BUT they were really really good. Dead entertaining and pretty tight as a band. I really enjoyed them

Correct.

My efforts to make Avril a rumour are working

Also Gabrielle back. Xmas present for mothers all over the country

Avril in the Miley slot would be amazing. I'm well aware I'd be pretty clueless for most the set and the songs I do know she probably can't be arsed with but still. She's the love of my life.

They said at Victorious in August that it would be a while before they returned to the UK - but that was in the middle of loads of Brexit patter (not many singers that could get away with that) so it might have just been for effect. 

I'd imagine they will tour Europe and UK in their own right before doing the festival circuit again?

I checked out her recent setlists for this tour and she does pretty much everything other than Rock N Roll (+4 from the latest album). I'm looking into the logistics of getting to one of the venues now.

[priest17]

That'd do for me, although Fall To Pieces would go down a treat. 

 

 

I've been arguing with my mate for 17 years now about who she wrote I'm With You about (me, obviously), although the older I get the weirder it gets that she wrote that about a 10 year old.
