They're releasing an album called Manchester Calling then not playing there? 

Presumably they'll do a bigger outdoor show in Manchester in the Summer?

Yes these dates are april & may, but shows they are around. They'd be very welcome back for me too.

Would love to see these on the farm as I missed them last time. Might hold off on tickets until the lineup is out. £30 is a lovely price though.

edit: Nick Cave too ?

Right, someone tell me where to start with Nick. An artist I think I should like but have never listened to!

Just listen to it all tbh

But Ghosteen and Lovely Creatures (a best of compilation) are probably good starts.

Stagger Lee, Red Right Hand.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The Boatman's Call is the best place to start.

I'll be there! My only gripe is that the bands are a little toooo similar. But it's going to be a great day all the same. I don't know a great deal of the line-up, any recommendations?

(Side note: one of the bands I was going for is Drugdealer, however they've had to pull out).

 

I like Sorcha Richardson (indie popish) and Just Mustard (post-rock/shoegaze-y)

Nick has to be a strong rumour with that

Have seen Murkage Dave & Slowthai this week - both excellent!

Twenty One Pilots are playing Hurricane/SouthsIde the week before Glastonbury 

[Gilgamesh69]

The Swans are playing EartH (Hackney) on the 26th and 27th of May.

 

Btw, has anyone been to that venue yet? It's fairly new isn't it?

Normally don't advocate compilations but Lovely Creatures is a decent arc across his career. I'd start there, identify the periods you like then work out of those.

or start with Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus, go on to Boatman's Call, and finish with Murder Balads via Henry's Dream, Skeleton Tree and From Her To Eternity.

It's great! I saw Lucy Dacus there a few months back. It's way bigger than I thought it would be from the outside. Amphitheatre style, so there's no bad seats (although I am suspicious that they change the layout for some of the other styles of music).

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll try to make sure I get down to see them. Sorcha Richardson is sounding good.

Very!!! Caught them at Citadel, before Fontaines. And these blew me away! Certainly outshone the DC boys on that day. 

Followed it up with a visit to Concorde 2 in Brighton last week where they were just as good!

Their album was all self released and they’ve toured relentlessly for over a year, UK and Europe multiple times without really stopping!

Picked up a ticket for these in Camden. That'll be these and Fontaines within a week.

I enjoyed them earlier in the year.

[JSmurphy]

If they're half as good as that poster you're in luck.

Nick Cave playing Leeds in May...sorry too late, you lot are so quick!!

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