FakeEmpire Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 If SZA is in the area and skips Glasto 2 years in a row, I will be very disappointed. Regret not getting tix to her pricey arena tour last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t really see where they’d fit at Glastonbury mind. Don’t see them subbing the Pyramid again, Other headliner doesn’t seem quite right and they already did a secret set in ‘19, although wouldn’t be averse to them doing it again. Think they might just give Glastonbury a miss this time after doing it on every album run in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think they’ll drop down so it’d be sub imo, but I don’t see it. Not that I’m flush with Pyramid sub ideas myself, but think Pulp will fill the indie sub quota. Vampire Weekend moved up the lineup with each appearance so makes sense that they’d eventually max out and appear less frequently, although I wouldn’t be averse to them being there again as they’re a great live/festival act.

Last album was a bit of a creative and commercial plateau. Still good live, been around a while now but probably not in the sort of Strokes category of a "tick list" band. They don't play the uk that much though so they are a draw. 3rd on pyramid feels about right, sub at a push... if they play at all. Feels like they would be a prime candidate for an APE day.

FloopFiller Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Although I’m somewhat pessimistic of them retuning as they’re a bit of a hard one to place now that they’ve done Holts, my god I hope we get Justice back. Back on Holts, Woodsies, Other sub… just let me have Justice again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mttJ Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Vampire Weekend would be wonderful, haven't seen them in about 15 years now. Maybe opening the Other? Wouldn't be surprised to see them headline an indie day at APE, or Community etc though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ls2408 Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 FWIW Beyoncé is touring Europe next year again. Not sure on dates, but she’s definitely hitting the UK. Doubt she would do Glastonbury again, especially after the setup of her tour this year but wanted to throw that out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest they are too old for Community but TDCC did it who started at a similar time, and the kooks bang on with that i think - uk exclusive i reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, disagree with the Other sub (needs to be an after dark set), not sure about Woodsies (still a crap stage name) am not a fan of that venue. So - WH headliner - unlikely so soon, Other headliner - would be epic, or.... lets properly shake things up and give them Saturday Pyramid headliners. Failing that, 3am Truth Stage.

CaledonianGonzo Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 It fits the big US act that'll blow your mind profile. But I think this is the first anyone has heard of a second European leg forthcoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon_Fields Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Certainly Vampire Weekend was a surprise, I'd love to see them again, about the new album: Vampire Weekend is wrapping up their next album, which, in a surprise twist, is apparently heavily inspired by raga. For those unfamiliar with the term, raga is a melodic framework used in Indian classical music. When it comes to applying that framework to Western pop or rock, it typically means the inclusion of Indian musical sounds and the use of instruments such as the sitar or tabla, a type of hand drum. The news was shared via a newsletter for the band’s vinyl club series, where they select and press a live set, then release it in a limited run of vinyl and merch. Vampire Weekend drummer Chris Tomson wrote in the newsletter that singer Ezra Koenig had taken a “raga singing lesson with Terry Riley in rural Japan.” Following the lesson, Tomson said that Koenig went on to write “what he considers to be 7 of his all-time top 10 best songs.” While the drummer didn’t provide an exact release date for the follow-up to 2019’s Father of The Bride, he noted that the album is “close to done” and will comprise “10 songs, no skips.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
