I see the media are reporting they'll be a headliner but the band's twitter just says they're playing.

According to the Glastonbury Twitter page it's Friday.

Nah I see them on the Pyramid. We'll see though.

I bow to superior foresight. May I be so bold as to predict a low turn out? Are they really that big??

Cannot get enough of this album, It's Never Over (Hey Orpheus) is my current favourite song, hope the neighbours like it!

Awful Sound is great.... if anyone still doubts the album watch the Afterlife performance on Graham Norton recently!

That's the song currently bouncing around in my head all day, keep catching myself humming it.

Favourite track on the album alternates between It's Never Over, Awful Sound and Afterlife.

It does take a bit of getting used to the strange tempo changes and interjections into the music but, like the other Arcade Fire albums it's a grower and only gets better with repeated listens.

Saw them live yesterday for the first time in six years, safe to say they still have it!

While I still don't really rate the new album, hearing songs live always makes them better for me so I'll probably give it another chance now. Afterlife, Normal Person and Here Comes The Night Time in particular were superb.

I like this song but can't get Reflecktor and Joan of Arc out of my head. I'd say they'll put on a good show in Dublin in June. Unfortunately, I've spent enough money on gigs in the meantime, so I can't go.

Here comes the night time is great live - did they do the streamers and confetti at your show?

The show on this tour surprised me a lot, i was expecting something a little more pretentious based on a lot of the promo material, but it was just a normal arcade fire show with some great new songs.
