[El Scorcho]

Is anyone able to see the Phoebe dates in the o2 Priority app? They were there when I checked last night, but no longer there when I search

Yeah I can't find it either. Maybe they removed it because they're waiting for her to announce it officially?

She found out she’s exclusive to Latitude so canned it.

Tribes on the main stage at Latitude is promising for like a very early Other Stage slot or something, rather than me having to be the only person in the crowd at William's Green other than @Somto Unigwe Raphael and being slapped by the eFestivals flag.

Don’t worry, I’m sure @the wonderwhy and all his mates would be there, so there’d be 3 of us!

Tribes opening Other would be unreal. Imagine starting a day at Glasto with Whenever. Johnny Lloyd having it on stage. Billie Piper stood in the wings. Laurence Fox bottling him for nicking his wife. Unreal.

[dentalplan]

How do you tell a child that there's no God up in the sky when Tribes are opening the Other Stage?

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

To be fair the last Glasto actually did open with Johnny Lloyd having it on stage singing Sappho. Maybe he’s gonna become the new Mik Artistic, but actually a real person who people go to see.

I will be frontline for Tribes if they are there. Me and my ticketholder mate have a deep affinity to them.

A group of 5 of us saw them back in 2013 (17 at the time), got the train from Bristol to Gloucester, somehow got smashed in a Spanish bar before hand, mate James got booted out by a large female bouncer for trying to crowd-surf, he got back in, and we went back to the station. On the way he was hit-and-runned by a speeding car on the crossing to the station. He now has a metal pin in his leg and the tattoo of 4213 to remember the occasion.

They’re playing, by the way. Self-confirmed on Johnny Lloyd’s instagram a while back.

Why 4213?

Is your mate Gareth Southgate?

I know rail replacement buses are bad, but that’s one hell of a diversion! 

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

Might replace @Hugh Jass II’s old avatar on the eFests flag with Johnny Lloyd for the proper flag at Glasto to show the forum’s support for Tribes’ second attempt to rise up to Glastonbury headliners.

Bet Macca won’t have that.

I thought people's enjoyment of Tribes was a joke, a bit like Pierce O'Brien. But it seems as if people actually quite like them, other than nostalgia, do people think they make good music? Not a dig at anyone, but intrigued why they keep getting mentioned on here.

They’re great. They were a bit of an NME hype band back in like 2011 in the era of bands like The Vaccines. They were very well liked in the R&L section of this forum back then.

Their debut album was really good and the follow up a bit naff and then they split up in 2013. Then they announced their return in 2020 and everyone was buzzing.

They supported some big acts like Pixies and The Rolling Stones (at BST) back in the day and are supporting Noel Gallagher and The Specials this Summer.

After those reunion shows they’re now my most seen band. Lots of bangers. Their frontman did two solo sets at the last Glasto and they went off.

 

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

Dead at Pierce getting compared to Tribes now though ffs. Big moves for him.

Anyway, meet under this flag when they open the Pyramid this year.

Trying to predict where they'd place in the NME Stage in 2013.

Hahahahaah that was mental tbf. Swear they didn’t even move up one spot.

We all thought we’d be watching Editors on main, shimmying over to Tribes slaying the NME then watching the headliner.

In reality we’d watched both with The bloody Lumineers yet to play!
