Swear to god it better not be Saturday night. 

Shit man! Hadn’t even of thought that far ahead yet. Oh ffs!

one of the to announced be slots

They have gigs in America all weekend so no chance they'll be one of the secret sets. Need to save them for the Other stage headline set in 2020 anyway.

I bet rumours were not rife in Somerset that The National were coming to the county.

Not that it rules them out but I’d be willing to bet all the money in my pocket that they headline Latitude next year. They are the Coldplay of Latitude.

Really should have googled their tour dates first maybe ?

The Manchester gig is my post Glasto pick me up, so I'm not all that disappointed.

Yeah I agree, I'm not actually expecting them back so soon sadly. I was thinking that they might calm things down a bit next year as they seem to have been touring every summer for a while now but I suppose they're never more than a few years away from Suffolk.

Saw a post on FB (I know.... sorry).

This would be frikkin awesome ?? 

20 years of being sat here tells me that rumours from Somerset are almost always shitly-wrong.

Just seen on facebook that Adia Victoria is the support for Castlefield  

 

How long of a slot do headliners usually get for those shows? The only disappointing setlist I've seen from this tour has been the Bonnaroo one, so hoping it's longer than just 90 minutes

[bunhead]

Saw Arcade Fire headlining it 2 years back and it was 3/4/5 songs short of a full set for the kind of act they are, though this was just a week before Everything Now came out and they only did the 3 singles from that, so if there was anything missing that they went on to do on the tour it would've been more songs from it. Which i was sorta fine with them skipping.

It think we'll get a 19/20 song strong set. Although there was an email the other week saying the door time has been moved forward to 6, so who knows.

Yup, got my eTickets through. Had forgotten all about it in all the Glastonbury excitement.

Notably apart from the Foo Fighters in Frome one that is....  ?

A 26 song set too! Might end up following them around for their December tour the way it's going

[jparx]

Any idea why they are playing almost the entire new album but NOT the best track off it? What's that about?

Setlists look great apart from that though. Can't wait to see them next week!

What do you consider to be the best track?

Not in Kansas!

Maybe it doesn't translate too well live?

I agree - fantastic track but don't give up hope as they've played it on 7 of the 16 gigs so far.

[ghostdancer1]

They've definitely played it several times on this tour so far, probably just not enough room to keep it all the time.

I was they'd rotate Hey Rosey though, not a fan at all, especially live.

[sjseabass]

I have either one, two or three tickets to sell at face value (£39 each) to the Castlefield Bowl gig next week if anyone fancies it - drop me a DM

EDIT: Only one left!

Haha I literally just text my mates today about how Hey Rosey might be my favourite on the album ?

Also just noticed Phoebe Bridgers is supporting them in Australia next year. Wish she was there on Wednesday.

I'd take the setlist from last Sunday all day - Pink Rabbits!!!

I've not posted it because I know some people don't like spoilers (sorry about Pink Rabbits - excitement).
