fat_man_joe Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Can't think of a better way to start the weekend than the opening drumbeats of Pounding on the Other Stage Friday morning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t seem to have gained much in the way of traction or interest. a load of mid-sized festivals, and some support slots. bizarre way to make a comeback really. I'd imagine there'd have been a lot more interest if it was their own gigs/tour. winter/spring was the perfect time to be doing it too.

FloorFiller Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I’d completely forgotten Doves had started playing live again tbh. Suppose they want to save the big festivals/shows for when they’ve got new material ready, but any amount of hype they might have had behind them has well and truly gone and I can’t really see a new album doing much to pick that back up.

Jne___ Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 A few months ago Emily posted an Instagram story at a doves show. Of course she can she whoever she wants without it being linked to the fest but one has to wonder... vampire weekend also have a glasto shaped hole in the European end of their tour, and have mentioned a couple times about Glastonbury being the greatest festival in the world...

Having Metallica and Pixies headline the two biggest stages wouldn’t have made much sense. He was subheadlining at Reading & Leeds and at T in the Park in the same year. The rumours of him being bumped up from another slot or stage are likely unfounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the time crisis podcast though Ezra had said about wanting to do more morning shows and making that a thing. They did the secret park set at glasto in AM last year too Edited February 18, 2020 by Jne___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them at Mad Cool after but that morning gig, the setlist and the sunny early vibe, was immense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that earlier. The field was very busy and he did a good set. He’d previously pulled crowds on the Pyramid and packed the acoustic tent right out. He fell off a cliff since, but then, he was huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will always choose to see any band I like on the Park at sunset over a larger stage in the morning. That said, Doves are one of the few bands I think could do a good job of it.
