I think Ashcroft would be a big shout.

Doves performing again would be the greatest thing in music since Sub Sub decided to change musical direction.

I would cream my pants if Doves started performing again

[Fingerbobs]

Oooooh Doves! I wondered why it was taking an age for.that second Black Rivers album to appear when they were posting studio pics from Jan last year. Fantastic news if true ** fingers crossed **

[Mardy]

Doves are back? Fucking great news. This means my dream of seeing Doves followed by the Pigeon Detectives is back on and looking more likely. Get in.

[Gucci Piggy]

Doves don't seem like Other openers tbh, especially as I imagine there'll be more interest with it being a reunion.

I hadn't heard until I eagerly arrived at the Acoustic Tent.

I deviated from the normal remit to announce their no-show almost as soon as I found out. Unfortunately that was still too late for many, but I think I managed to save a few people a trek to Acoustic for nothing.

Not exactly a secret set, but certainly breaking news.

me too

They would go down a storm no matter where they appeared on the lineup, i dont really know why they or a couple of other acts of their ilk (i.e "heritage" 80s bands) havent been asked / don't play.

They arent obviously the size of a sunday legend but i'd be more interested in them than most of the acts that do get the legend slot.

They were fantastic at bestival many moons ago

Whilst we're at it lets have a bit of ABC

I'm firmly putting my money on the Terrorvision wagon

They were effing sublime last summer on the Brit rock must die tour

Most of the 80s bands do come across as a bit of a nostalgia kick and just going through the motions, the two that I have ssen that still seem to be trying are Heaven 17 and OMD

This bastard thread has got me going over old Doves material.

Imagine.
