I didn't include the Irish gig at first as I was focussing on the 20 or so festivals they said they're doing. But all complete now  Plenty of opportunities other than Glastonbury this summer.

Possible adds:

• May 31st-June 2th: Best Kept Secret, Netherlands (or Down The Rabbit Hole, July 5-7th)
• June 24-26st: INmusic, Croatia (doubt it)
• July 3-6th: Roskilde, Denmark
• July 11-13th: Mad Cool, Madrid, Spain (or the reinvigorated Doctor Music Festival same weekend)
• July 11-13th: NOS Alive, Lissabon, Portugal
• July 17-21st: Electric Castle, Romania
• Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland? (last weekend of June till July 14th)

I'd have them as almost certainties to do Roskilde, they have done it a lot. Probably right about the Spain/Portugal dates too.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are at Rock In Roma (assuming it's still going). Potentially a Scandinavian festival or one-off show, and maybe Sziget?

Not sure about Sziget, they seem pretty keen on young folks. Was maybe thinking of Øya Festival in Oslo (August 6-10th), but struggling with other festivals in that period. So yeah, couple of one-offs like Dublin and Glasgow seem definitely likely. 

EDIT: And Flow Festival in Finland, August 9-11th.

Looking at those dates, I reckon instead of NOS/Mad Cool, they'll stay in central Europe between Serbia and Greece. I'd have a cheeky tenner on them doing Pohoda in Slovakia 11-13th July

Based on the last couple of years it would be a huge booking for them, but the money is in Lisbon and Madrid...

Barring something else unmissable elsewhere I could see myself swinging by - but let's keep a sense of proportion here.

[ghostdancer1]

wouldn't be surprised if they're at Primavera the first weekend in June either. Arctic Monkeys played both Primavera and Mad Cool last year, so they might share a headliner again this year.

Ah, they did Primavera in 2012, thought it was more recently. Yeah, maybe they'll return, definitely the type of band they book, but maybe they want them to have a new album out this time. Bob wants to produce new music, but was a bit vague about whether it will happen soon.

When the Glasgow show was booked, it was their only UK date 

 

(it may no longer be, but it might be)

Open'er in Poland probably highly likely as well.

Thing is if they're going to do a Spanish festival is kind of has to be that weekend as that when they all are, for some odd reason. Unless they're at Primavera.

Seems pretty reasonable, I can imagine Glastonbury (or any fest) being a much more protracted bit of business than what's essentially their own gig. Either way, i don't think it'll be the only UK date what with everything else they're doing and this supposedly being their last festival run. (and with it not being advertised as such.)

I thought so too, at first. I asked in the Open'er thread but it was sort of shot down because they seem unlikely to headline their last day (Saturday). In recent years they had big pop acts that sold well, especially attracting a young crowd. Roskilde is the same weekend, so maybe Bob has had enough, also doing Ostrava.

[StupidDream]

The Cure to play Nova Rock, apparently somebody brought a poster to the streets a little bit too early (or somebody is being very funny). Nice match with Slipknot and Slash.

• March 16-21st: Rock on the Lawns, South Africa
• June 8th: Malahide Castle, Dublin, Ireland
• June 13-16th: Nova Rock, Austria
• June 16th: Firenze Rocks, Italy
• June 21-23th: Hurricane/Southside, Germany
• June 28th: Rock Werchter, Belgium
• July 4th: EXIT, Novi Sad, Serbia
• July 17th: Ejekt, Athens, Greece
• July 17-20th: Colours of Ostrava, Czech Republic

• August 23th: Rock en Seine, Paris, France

Bumped into him twice. One quite shouty on the phone, the other falling out of his massive rv like he'd been having fun.

Listen to Wish. 

Anyway, when can we start doing lists? 

Ooooooooh blimey. After my comment about not having listened to anything post Disintegration. I am a complete arse as bought Wish on vinyl. Have no recollection of buying it or listening to it. What the hell frame of mind was I in? Only reason I'm replying (so late) is that my daughter was thumbing through my records this week and happened to pull Wish out.....

Almost definitely going to be at Mad Cool that same weekend, I'd imagine. 

[dentalplan]

+ Roskilde, 6th July.

Still no confirmed back-to-back dates.

I think whatever Spanish festival they play will be the best indicator for them doing consecutive days. If they leave a day in between NOS Alive and something like Mad Cool or Bilbao BBK then there's no chance they're playing Rock Werchter and Glastonbury on consecutive days.

+ Øya, 7th August

[StupidDream]

• March 16-21st: Rock on the Lawns, South Africa

• July 22th: Rock the City, Bucharest, Romania
• August 7th: Øya, Norway
• August 16th: Summer Sessions, Glasgow
• August 23th: Rock en Seine, Paris, France

So now we have this, nearing 20 European festival dates. The Bucharest show completely passed me, but no big surprise. At least Glastonbury and probably a Dutch date missing. Maybe Finland or Sweden, Switzerland and something like Croatia. Poland also still not in there, guess a stand-alone Warsaw show?

[kingcrawler]

Another Scandinavian festival around Øya would make sense. I reckon Best Kept Secret will be their Dutch festival and probably the start of the European dates, unless they do Primavera too.

[the wonderwhy]

They'll almost definitely be at Flow 

[Gucci Piggy]

And Bangface Weeekender.

[the wonderwhy]

And Don't Let Daddy Know

[StupidDream]

Probably going to Best Kept Secret again, so hoping to catch them there. Plus hopefully Bon Iver and/or Vampire Weekend and then I am definitely in. Won't have to worry about clashes for those acts the rest of the season. 

Maybe a bit more hyped about The Cure than expected, but they were sort of the first big name to come in the mix for 2019, and it's still a bit quiet. (Or at least not sensational.) 

[John the Moth]

My local has a jam session on Sundays, random musicians, random instruments.

Walked in today to 7 folks doing an awesome almost perfect version of ‘A Forest’.

I've seen them before and I'm not the biggest fan in the first place. Will aim for something else but more than happily be there if there's nothing else on that takes my fancy.

With the Mad Cool announcement tonight, it's now confirmed they're not even doing back to back shows over consecutive shows in Portugal and Spain.

Also they seem to be carrying Mogwai around with them (as well as The Twilight Sad, of course) at some of these festivals. Early evening on the Other Stage this time?

[Acid Loafers]

Seen em once, set for life.

If they played would be a good excuse to not watch a Pyramid Headliner and find something else out there!
