Courteeners set. St Jude or Not?

[johnny-yen]

Courteeners have just played a big homecoming gig and played St Jude in full. Are we expecting the same at Glastonbury or will they do a typical festival mix?

I would definitely consider it if they were to play that debut album.  Any thoughts or rumours?

Also wondering the same. I'll go if it is - that album holds some great memories for me. As for everything after album 2...

Also wanting to know this…

Apparently it was great at Heaton Park recently. Their hour slot would be perfect for the full album plus a couple of extra big tunes.

I was there, it was a great night. All the merch they're flogging contains lyrics from the first album.. I'd imagine the set will be heavily influenced by St Jude but they'll get some of their later hits in too, can't imagine them doing the full album

I've never really got the courteeners. I don't mind them but probably won't see them this year. "You're not 19 forever, pull yourself together" is lyrical genius though fair play to Mr. Fray

 

Random fact, I've done jobs in the drummers dad's house (r.i.p) and Liam's dad's house.

I think how busy their set will be depends on the news for the TBC afterwards for a lot of people.

Especially up against Foos

[Joshuwarr]

Based on their social media posts from when the line up dropped they basically implied as it was the same slot they played in 2008 its basically going to be that album featuring heavily

I’ll be at Courteeners over Foos. Celebrating 15 years since they first played Glasto, also 15 years since St Jude was released. 
 

Always going to be St Jude heavy but I’m sure they’ll mix it up slightly as well as sticking in a cover or two. Their cover of There Is A Light That Never Goes Out is class, but if the Blossoms & Rick Astley are covering The Smiths in the TBA straight after them as rumoured, I can’t imagine they’ll be doing it.

It just fell at the right time for me. It was my first year at uni, the demos started coming through, the gigs were absolutely wild. For a time, to me anyway, it felt like they were really gonna be my next big thing. It didn't turn out that way, I loved the second record as well but things very quickly fell away after that

I would think they'd be too rammed for Woodsies but The Foo Fighters are gonna nick a lot of their crowd.

Most likely going to Courteeners as well, and kind of hoping Foos are the Churnups so Woodies is a little less busy.  There's not much I'm bothered about seeing before either so plenty of time to get there early and sink a few on the grass outside.

Saw Courteeners at Royal Albert Hall in March and they played most of, if not all, St Jude and it was a fantastic night.  Hopefully next week will be just as good.
