Havent we established that the Other headliners are Major Lazer, Alt-J & BBK (in that order) ?

That may be, but still, they need to headline Other!

For the record (completely forgot until now), the last time I saw The National they were subbing Green Day and it was still great.

I wish Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers got a bit more loving. OK, it's not as good as what followed with Alligator/Boxer/High Violet/TWFM, but I think it's still an excellent album in it's own right. Cardinal Song, Fashion Coat, Murder Me Rachael and Lucky You are particular stand outs for me. Just seems the album doesn't get much time of day, especially live.

It's an alright album, with a couple of okay tunes, but it just pales so much in comparison to later works. I'd be miffed personally if any of those took up setlist space.

They have played Available every time I have seem them 2011 to 2015 and played a short Cardinal Song one of the three times, so it gets a little airing.

Yeah I've seen Available a few times but I don't want it in a festival set in place of so many better songs. I reckon they'll bin it off in favour of new material.

Definitely seen it enough to cut it, I wish they would cut Squalor Victoria, Matt only plays it as it is his goes into the crowd song, other songs on Boxer that I'd much rather hear!

How many songs will they be able to fit in at Glasto? 10-12? Doing a set list innit.

At Reading in 2011 they did 13 in one hour so if they get 75 mins let's hope for 17!

I saw them playing 17 songs in a 75 minutes set and hopefully they won't get less time than that.

First attempt. Needs work on order of songs but if we got this I'd be very happy. 

Probably need to fit Slow Show and maybe Apartment Story in there but not sure what I would drop. Probably Abel, not sure what else! Damn this is hard! 

[mynameismatt]

Kind of based off a general order and probably some flaws, but I don't think it's unreasonable and I'd be v happy with this.

Ill be very happy if we get Start a War or Slow Show.

Also 17 songs would be absolutely perfect 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Terrible Love > Mr November > Geeks to close will send us home* happy

[Amy Lawn]

Am no a fan of Start A War, but got serious time for Slow Show.

[CHRLY]

Been back on Boxer in recent days and Brainy is the new jam. Never quite hit me before but I can't stop playing it.

What? Squalor Victoria is mid-set and it's superb live, Brian's drumming showcased and Matt screaming at the end. It's his going for a piss song not going into the crowd at all.
