gazzared Posted September 19, 2022 Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 A bit of of guilty pleasure of mine, I saw them in about 2007 for the Architecture & Morality Classic Album Tour and thought they were brilliant. Anyway does anyone think they will do Glastonbury ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingbat2 Posted September 19, 2022 Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 Glasto don't seem to do 80s retro, a real shame in my opinion, not too sure why. It would be brilliant to have the likes of OMD, Numan, Foxx, Human League, etc. They would all go down an absolute storm at the farm. Some of these sound as good as they did 40 years ago especially OMD, a brilliant live band still going strong these days 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinhead Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 I'd be well up for this, but just can't see where they'd fit... Maybe Acoustic; Avalon even... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spg Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 I'd be in for them too, Avalon would work for me, and they don't mind some older acts in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toilet Duck Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Saw them at Electric Picnic about 10 years ago (can't remember exactly), they were great (EP was always good at having a retro 80s act each year, pretty much everyone that gets mentioned on here from that era played at some point...was definitely a great addition to the festival).

efcfanwirral Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Could see them in an early Other slot like The Pretenders the other year. Good band, I saw them in 2017 in Manchester and they were great. Edited September 20, 2022 by efcfanwirral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondo Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 I've seen them 3 or 4 times over the years and great band. Would love to see them at Glastonbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circus92 Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 Another +1 for OMD. My first ever gig - Belfast way back in 1991 - great memories 😁 They seem to be still going strong - get them booked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkete Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 Went to see them in Madrid 2019, they were sold out in UK, tickets were cheap there and I hadn't been. They put on a cracking show, there was the novelty of going to venues where the locals don't drink much, so you can stroll to the bar and get immediately served and a beautiful city too.

I'd love that. Nothing to do with easy access to the bar, I don't drink. Just a better atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing the money is very awkward with one hand. /off to the pub shortly with my beer buddy @Topaz.as usual, i'll just have to sit there and drinks will appear while my wallet gets lighter.

Lucky you magic drinks 🍹🥂🥃 The other aspect does sound like a pain though. My mum has issues with one arm and she does occasionally mention the pain and inconvenience it causes her 👵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
