How long are they likely to get? 45 min? An hour?

I've no idea sorry. Just saw the details on FD's Facebook and legged it here. It does seem a packed line up (Ah! BBC continuity announcers used to say that when more people watched non-satellite television) for a single day.

We decided to go for this. Pretenders, who subbed last year, seemed to do an hour or so from what I can see. So I figured it'll be a best of set , but with Pet Shop Boys after we thought we'd go for it. I can't wait for a proper MSP tour though. It's been ages.

Random thought... do artists often play these sort of events unless they're in an album promotion cycle?

Well in an interview late last year James did mention we'll know in six months.
It's been over six months since! The stuff gets released when it gets released. Have been on full alert for some time. Be nice to have a day off not fretting about it.
Check Album 15 thread for the interview. I think it's at the bottom of the second to last page.
It'll be a surprise to those who aren't us. But for us. Another heartbreaking day to wake up to no new material we know they're working on. Won't someone please think of the FD?

EDIT: Or it could be released after this show? "Later this year or early next".

16.30 half four Sunday afternoon a Radio 2 show with the band. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0022jzf
Gabrielle and Sister Sledge share the highlights. Still no idea about live streams.
Could have iPlayer on the day. Hoped we'd get a Full Set episode like some acts from last year's seemed to have.

According to BBC the whole thing will be on iplayer. Hopefully the first performance of decline & fall?

Didn't they do Radio 2 in the Park about 10 years ago and everyone was hoping for some rarities but Jimbo came out in a striped t-shirt and they did You Stole the Sun 5 times and then Motorcycle, Show me the Wonder, and Design for Life?

D&F confirmed on twitter as being played today

Well at least that’s something alongside what I presume will be a greatest hits set.

[Europa Gluten Free]

Motorcycle
Everything must go
You stole the Sun
Your Love Alone
This is Yesterday
Design For Life
La Tristesse
Faster
Walk Me to the Bridge
Tsunami
Decline and Fall
You Love Us
Tolerate

Interesting enough set list for what it was - did the Anchoress turn up for the Your Love Alone/This is Yesterday double header?

They're not on stage until 6:30 apparently so is that set list even accurate or just a prediction?

[*Found That Soul*]

Looks like they are on for 45 minutes , I guess 9/10 songs
