Very excited about Modest Mouse

..... and it sort of mirrors the Friday night from 3yrs ago when Conor Oberst came on and announced himself as Modest Mouse

[shoebox]

This is great, great news! Very happy!

Modest Mouse - YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sooo happy my favourite band are going to headline my favourite music festival!

And - my girlfriend just rang me up to tell me she's passed her exams and is now a fully qualified nurse! What a brilliant day!!!!!

[shoebox]

Haha..... did you sneak out from your training to "make an important phone call" or something?

[Elfy]

Thankfully I was on a scheduled break. Really pleased about this though. Haven't seen them since a midday Reading Festival slot about 7 years ago, so this is great news.

Edit to add..... I wonder if they'll be hanging around in the UK between Reading and EOTR? ..... they might do some other dates

[shoebox]

Yeah, I'd be surprised if they don't play some other shows between the festivals slots.

[shoebox]

They're playing Reading this year as well. Might even try and get a day ticket nearer the time - the Saturday also has Arcade Fire, Futureheads, Serj Tankian and Frank Turner..... and we can get to Reading on the train

[Sipperana]

Marvellous. All of it.

[Splainc]

Freelance Whales sounding great!!!!!!!!!

[Elfy]

Oh, I can't do Reading any more. That was the last time. It was carnage. Give me the peacefulness of EOTR any day!
