ZZ Top used to pull that trick every year and then they went and played Glastonbury.

True, I'll believe it when I see it. And I would very much like to see it.

The Vaccines aren't great, but they're not 'supporting Kaiser Chiefs' bad. Surely they don't need to lower themselves to this.

Would love them to be WH headliners. I'd be there without question.

Y'all need to listen to the new Vaccines album 

[Mouseboy11]

Vaccines are a weird one, I do think they’ve got some really great tunes but there’s a fair bit of blandness to shift through.

I find it weird how The Vaccines are shat on by people who willingly go and see Wolf Alice, who themselves are a result of Lammo throwing a Lush t-shirt into a cauldron of hot cider.

It’s actually pretty good in all fairness.

Seconded.  Ain't setting the world alight, but it's a decent listen.

I had never been arsed one way or the other re: The Vaccines. Then they supported the Stone Roses & Bored the arse off of me.

That gig was amazing barring them. I've always had a dislike since then. 

Never seen Wolf Alice.

I thought they were good supporting the Stone Roses. Rose to the occasion really well. The Wailers afterwards were pretty boring.

I do actually like Wolf Alice a bit. Just they’re quite far from groundbreaking (as I’ll admit The Vaccines are) but don’t get the stick for it.

Wolf Alice winning the Mercury was baffling. Debut was great and exciting but the follow-up is just pretty solid and, Don't Delete The Kisses aside, had no right to be winning awards imo. The Vaccines' first two albums were better fo sho.

First 2 Vaccines albums were great (first especially). The 2015 album was poor though by their standards. I'd forgive them a poor album though- some bands have many! The new album is actually much better and a return to form. I'd look out for a decent spot on the bill next June and i'd try to see them (clashes permitting)

Yeah it feels like they won it for the wrong album, almost like they were getting very late recognition for a great debut. I think Wolf Alice are miles better than The Vaccines though, who in turn are miles ahead of Kaiser Chiefs.

Agreed. Loved the first and like the second but no way it should've won especially with some of the albums they were up against. 

Felt like a deliberate act to push them further into the limelight. 

That's the Mercury's for ya I guess!

+ I liked the first Vaccines album too. Even went to see them at the O2 and they did a good job of it. 

Outshone by The Walkmen(?!?!) of course though. 

[dentalplan]

That’s a bizarre support choice. Puts the conversation about Kaisers/Vaccines into perspective somewhat.

 

Just seen that the earlier-mentioned Toto are booked up at Clamrock(!) in Austria over most of Glastonbury weekend so sorry Totodiles, it ain’t looking up.

Savages have just announced a gig in London on November 16.  I imagine they will have a slot at the farm somewhere, headline Park maybe?

The Walkmen dropped arguably the greatest track of the 2000s though so go easy on 'em
