Yyy’s are rumored to be playing the week before Splendour in the u.s for that edition of Pitchfork Festival. So theres some activity. Also The Fiery Furnaces might be back if thats of any interest to anyone.

Would Europe - US - Australia in one month be too much of a stretch?

About ten years ago or so.

It’s a long shot but at least we know they’re active this summer.

They would be a drop everything act for me, even Kendrick and Macca.

I was about to say that can't be true as I saw them at Latitude and a warm up in Islington but then googled it and found that was in 2013! They would be top of my list too as always excellent.

They've announced a load of US dates from mid-July onwards so looks like they'll be hanging around Europe until then anyway. 

They’re just going to be hanging around Europe for three weeks after the last date?

Planes exist for a reason. Dj’s do it on the norm and the last band I saw do a grinding country/continent hopping tour was Khruangbin last year and they cancelled one gig. Look at the 1975’s tour schedule. They do Finsbury Park then a week later a u.s festival in Kentucky and then probably go back home. Theyre rumored to be a headliner for Lollapalooza Chicago so they would fly back for that and then come back for those August UK dates. Bit much isnt it? Money talks.

True, but if they were on the European circuit we would probably know by now. Seems unlikely that they would play GF as a one off, back to the States for Pitchfork then over to Australia a week later.

US then Australia would seem more likely.

The dream is fading for another year...

They strike me as a band that is desired to return to the festival, and they will just pop up randomly on a lineup one year. Like sigur ros.

At least there is one act worth seeing there, they've done well to get The Strokss there.

Other stage in 2009 wasn’t it? 

Well over due a return.

They have another u.s fest gig in May and thats in Tennessee. No rhyme or reason to what theyre doing, just booking some gigs and thats it. Keep hope alive!  If you want the most extreme version of doing cross country gigs, Megan Thee Stallion is doing a gig on Miami at Rolling Loud and then flying to California To play  another fest the same day. Now thats playing time zone hop scotch. hard to top when  Jay Z when he did 5 gigs in a day, but still.

I reckon they would make great JP headliners one year.

I don’t follow. Sigur Ros were all over Europe; it was only in any way ‘random’ because they were falsely claimed as an exclusive. YYY would have to be all over Europe to show up too.

There were a couple of years before 2016 where Sigur Ros could have played and the stars didn’t align. That is what I meant. I’m pretty sure they’d been on the European circuit a fair bit before 2016.

Big fan on record but I’ve seen them twice and was very disappointed.

If they were touring that would be a different conversation. They played APE a couple of years ago without any other UK dates so you can’t take anything for granted.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs at APE put on one of the best shows I've ever seen. As good as it gets. 

LCD were alright too.

I didn't think it was all that tbh, bizarre how that happens. 

Would happily have them on the farm though!

Excellent missed out on Eleanor's solo date in Edinburgh last year due to not realising it was happening until after it sold out.

Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets has just been announced for Inmusic festival on 22-24th June, which looks promising.

Looks like they might be doing a little bit more in the future
