Imagine if instead of landfill for the last few years they'd had the likes of Sugababes opening the Other Stage.

Amen. The Nostalgia slot.

High fives all round. 

They’re still touring, get ‘em booked. 

[Riggins]

The best opening time I've had is still Bjorn Again. Just great  vibes all round, packed stage cos nothing else on. Only way to go about it

Got a ticket to see Suede last night in Birmingham from Twickets for £22.50 and what a bargain the proved to be. Phenomenal set, I really hope they will be on the farm again this year.

I genuinely wasn't aware Twin Atlantic were still a thing until I saw they'd got the gig opening for Muse in Glasgow due to Royal Blood being busy at Glastonbury. Been a while since I saw them opening for Kings of Leon and Haim at the Milton Keynes Bowl.

I got a cheapy for The Strokes last time purely for Beck and Public Service Broadcasting so hoping for some this time for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs 🙂 

This was BST Hyde Park 2015, aye?

I've still not seen Beck. Really wanna tick that off soon. Plus PSB sounds dope as a support too.

I did enjoy APE 2019 with Interpol and Courtney Barnett, although would've preferred it without the oddly quiet sound, but I guess I'm yet to be as in love with their APE line-up this time. Either that or maybe I don't know enough Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

[Andre91]

This will be a bloody good time. 

[charlierc]

On top of previously announced UK dates in Brighton, Bristol, Edinburgh Leeds and Liverpool is this one.

EDIT: Just noted Somerset House announced a load of other things yesterday to go with Interpol

Oops! Yes, BST and not APE!

I'd be all over it if it was a Yeah Yeah Yeahs day and not £90 but not paying that for a shorter set from just them despite them being a favourite.

Tbf I mainly remember that for seeing a clip of Alex Turner and Miles Kane being in the crowd for The Strokes merrily singing and dancing along. As they do aha.

I genuinely wasn't aware tix were only available at that price point. Blimey.

Ben Howard just announced dates with a very suspicious hole. Obvs he's lower profile now than the last time he played, so not sure where he'd fit in.

In line with this year's weird theme of "acts that seemed like they would be massive in the early 2010s but then kind of weren't".

To wave my Ben Howard flag, he's very much shunned the fame/limelight pretty purposefully by completely changing his sound from his hugely popular debut album days. He nigh-on never touches any of his acoustic guitar, 'Keep Your Head Up' vibe songs anymore, and releases albums straddling the sound of The National/Bon Iver (though the quality does fluctuate a touch).

I hold my hands up to being a massive Ben fan, and love his new stuff as much as his old, but he does have a pretty big cult follwing still and is defo big enough to play an early Pyramid slot sort of show. Though, with his fairly experimental modern sound, I'm not sure how much the masses will be hugely enthused.

As always when he comes up in conversation, I have to recommend people listen to his second album 'I Forget Where We Were', because it's my favourite album of all time and frustratingly underappreciated

He was pretty big for a time but then decided to get a bit weirder and less overly commercial with his music which dropped him down a bit.

Oh really? To be honest I've always lumped him in as one of those moody soulful white dude singer-songwriters with not much about him. If he got weirder after his big album I should maybe check him out.

That's what happened with Bon Iver. Was put off by the debut, then on a recommendation I checked out i,i and got obsessed.

[TheBoz]

I loved his mid-afternoon pyramid 2013 set so I’d be there if he had another day time slot.
 

I echo the post about ‘I Forget Where We Were’. The whole album is stunning and is one i always go back to.

The Walkmen now playing Manchester New Century on August 26 as well as their London dates.

Chemical Brothers arena tour end of Oct and start of Nov.

Ocean Alley, playing on the Tuesday at Bristol, and free on the Glasto weekend, absolutely stinks of a Glasto performance
