Elbow won't be playing this year

[Hiphopopotamus]

As confirmed by Pete the bass player in a bar called Dulcimer in Chorlton on friday night. Booooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[eFestivals]

erm .... I told people just this, months ago.

[marktea]

Well whichever way you look at it, it's still not good news

they played last year. Who wants the same bands each year? Leave that to the likes of V and Download.

They are hoping to play next year and ensure themselves a decent slot, which is why they're not playing this year.

[Langdale Wolf]

Totally agree. I love the band wouldn't want them there this year, especially as i'm not going this year

No really... they know that they're in danger of beginning to flog the recent album to death and therefore a break would be good. Come back with a new album and hopefully get a headlining slot?

[lsdmoto]

bummer !! loved them last year !

[philmonster]

Yeah it would have been impossible in my opinion for them to compete with last seasons 2 performances, they were out of this world!

[Red Day]

Hopefully they'll do the business at T. Seeing them in a couple of weeks, canna wait

[jamesglast]

a bit disappointed in this house

i just got The Seldom Seen Kid (very cheaply to mite ad from good ol' amazon)

shame they wont be making an appearance

i cant get 'One Day Like This' out of my head

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

Gutted, I've only just started getting into them.

'One day like this' won't leave my head too arrrgghhh.

[russycarps]

I have a really bad feeling they are going to rush out an album to cash in on their new found fame and I fear it is going to be really shit.

Hope I'm wrong though

[When Jokers Attack]

that's shit, yet to see them live yet, Seldom Seen Kid was my album of 2008

Am I one of the only people in the British Isles not to see what all the fuss is about?

it's pleasant music for middle class people to have in the background during dinner parties.

From your username I deduce you are a nick cave fan?

[harper11]

i dont rate them

[cole4ord]

Bit dissapointed about this. But hopefuly they will be back to headline the Pyramid next year!

They were 'Wow' mate. One of the best gigs I've been at in years. 3 songs off the first album which in itself was a bonus and the rest of the set was brilliant.

Just a great gig and it's good to see such a decent bunch get the success they deserve. I always thought the last album would be the one to get them into the top league but SSK is almost as good.

Would love to see them again at Glasto but can understand their reasons for not playing. Never know, maybe a secret appearance at the Park Stage

Hope you enjoy Doves, as if that needs to be said

They didn't play Fallen Angel last year

[Chocscoffer]

I didn't watch them last year on the Other stage and this is one of my regrets so, I'm a bit gutted they won't be returning to Worthy this year.
