Gucci Piggy Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I don't know why they'd bother continuing with the slot and not book The Coral for it. Too obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t bear them first time round either, OG lineup. I liked them back then. I think they have actually gotten worse and it’s not just different times and that. 1 minute ago, Gucci Piggy said: I don't know why they'd bother continuing with the slot and not book The Coral for it.

Johnny Borrell had moments where he was hillarious though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penrhos Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 What about "The stranglers" - seen them fairly early on in the day at a few festivals, good at getting the crowd going and don't take themselves too seriously... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And forget size (haven't looked at album sales etc.) but they piss on The Charlatans performance-wise. They were tragic on the Other Stage last time.

They play bigger venues than the Coral, and had bigger hits in their heyday. And obviously avoiding Manics and Blossoms support slots helps their case too. The Coral can still play the Other Stage but like at 1pm rather than 11am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gucci Piggy Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) "Their debut album Emmerdale... The album was named after the British television soap opera of the same name." Wtf. This band is not playing Glastonbury. Edited November 10, 2018 by Gucci Piggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Comparing the Wikipedia pages of their Discographies, The Coral appear to have had much better album sales in the UK than The Cardigans, and higher charting singles other than a reissue of Lovefool.

They have an album that's sold much better than half a million copies? Don't think that's right. Anyway, The Cardigans are playing academies and bigger on their next tour, and the lead singer played Glastonbury on her own four years ago so there's still an awareness of them around the place. The Coral, since returning, have played like mid-King Tuts at TITP and second-up on Latitude main stage - before the Mystery Jets. I'm not arguing that The Cardigans are massive - stuff like Manics or Elbow or whatever would obviously be bigger - but considering The Coral as a bigger booking is kinda laughable.

I wasn't really being serious about them being bigger than The Cardigans seeing as I know nowt about The Cardigans. I just looked at chart placings and The Coral's were much better, and they each have one platinum album. Not that it means much anyway.

Nduja Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Any scouse band will draw a solid crowd at Glasto. For the purposes of Glasto therefore, they are a bigger act than The Cardigans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woffy Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Coral probably more popular than the Cardigans in the U.K. Although the Cardigans have sold 15m albums worldwide. The Coral have not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
