cheers for that i didnt see your comment i saw the one before yours saying Sparrow and the workshop are the support for the manchester show so i thought they were just playing there i will have a listen to them.

[quote="michael9th"]is there any news on when the support acts will be announced would love it to be the levellers would be a great night.[/quote]
Er - I wasn't joking - support act is "Sparrow and the workshop" - if you follow link for tickets from the front page of Medusa Forum they are listed there as support for all gigs.

is there any news on when the support acts will be announced would love it to be the levellers would be a great night.

I couldnt give a flying fuck if i was as big as Elvis id never in a million years turn down supportin Pogues! or any band i loved for that matter. Mumford and Sons are shit live aswell. they try goin nuts as if theyre Slayer or something an it just looks stupid. I'm into a band called Erland & The Carnival and i think theyd go down really well. its a realistic support slot aswell. Get Onto Phil Mate!!!! :)

The Levellers opening for the UK dates would be a great choice.Mumford and co probably think thet are too big to open for anyone right now!Heard them on Radio 1 on Monday,they were ok,nothing special,though Zane Lowe was positively salivating all over them,they obviously appeal to a younger audience,Indie-folk?its been done before and done much better....

Are you an Eskimo?

Mumford are amazing and their album is definately one to buy all songs are brilliant, u want roll away ur stone blasted, get it on youtube at glastonbury,,,,, nope dont lancs hotpot, not gud and lead singer called me an eskimo in blackpool few month bk

I vote for the lancashire hotpots

Support act listed as "Sparrow and The Workshop" never heard them but seem to be getting good reviews.

There is a band named as 'guests' on the posters and flyers for the manc gig i've seen; but i have no idea who they are infact i cant even remember their name!

[quote="mcguck"]I just got turned on to a terrific new folk/rock band(well, new for me) called Mumford and Sons who would be a great opener. High energy, great harmonies, check our the youtube videos for their songs The Cave and Little Lion Man. I'd be delighted with the Levellers as well though[/quote]

though I can't count myself a fan of the Mumfords, I think you may find they have already long since left support act status behind them. Unless U2 "discover" them of course.

Accoring to Spider, it is stronly rumoured that the support is The Levellers for the uk leg of the tour

and the status of dj scratchy?!

i dont know if this has already been discussed or if support bands have even been confirmed yet but if it is already within the forum i do apologise, normally id have a good look through but im fuckin knackered and cant be arsed, but anyway yeah, basically do we know the support bands this year yet?

Thanks A lot.
