Wow, they played some shows towards the end of last year - as a fundraiser for the family of one of their best friends. I got the impression that was that, but looks like they're back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt42 Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) I am fully convinced acts structure their tours with a glasto gap just in case they get a call. Edited January 27, 2020 by Matt42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonobo said he purposely left a Glastonbury gap in his touring schedule a couple of years ago but never got the call. So I don't think you're far off for some acts.

Apparently, FFAF this is their last show (again) - they've said it's the 'last chance to dance'...

Ayrshire Chris Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 4 hours ago, FloorFiller said: Yeah you're right, and despite the fact they only subbed Glastonbury in 2017 they seem to headline everywhere else so Emily's comment still stands. Think they're more of a front runner for this than anybody else now. Very possible Biffy Clyro will headline the other, Sunday night. A good contrast from Swifty on the pyramid. They’ve been mentioned for a few years as possible headliners but I reckon the Pyramid headline ship has sailed for them. Would fit in with the comments about pyramid style headliners on other stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I know (grew up in the same area and went to the same school as the band (fair few years prior) he was a complete dick to anyone outside of their circles and it only got worse. He has made apologies since he's been sober though and especially since the band have been back, I think they'd make a fantastic early other band for a bit of fun.

Yeah it always struck me as a Justin ego thing than an actual fallout, clearly thought he was the biggest thing about for about 18 months.

Saw them on the Gully back in 2015 and they were good. Saw them last year supported by Bedouin Soundclash (what a pair to see in one night!) and they've only got better. Top band. I'm tempted to break my rules about London gigs as they're touring with Interrupters at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
