00:00Well, because we're honouring Hopes and Fears, it's 20 years old this year, we're going to
00:06play quite a few songs from the record. We've sort of been doing that as a sort of basis
00:10for our tour this year. And then just sort of filling the rest of it with as many sort
00:17of big songs that people know as we can. And I think what we've, you know, we like to kind
00:23of keep it quite simple really. We're sort of a bit of an old-fashioned indie band, you
00:27know. And I think we just want people to feel this sort of communal sense of love and emotion
00:34and excitement at our shows. And it certainly seems to be the way they are these days. And
00:41I think with Glastonbury as well, people have that kind of spirit of wanting to come and
00:45enjoy themselves. So hopefully it'll be a great little combination.
00:49Yeah, I completely agree. I think the dream is a big sing-along, isn't it, where you get,
00:54you know, especially we're playing at four in the afternoon, you know, so you often find
01:00people are like, in a bit of a sort of mid-afternoon, like quite, you know, just having a nice time.
01:05Emerging from a hangover.
01:06Emerging from a hangover, yeah. You know, they're sort of wandering around, sort of
01:10thinking about what they're going to see, waiting for their headliners or whatever.
01:13So, you know, you kind of hope you can get people's attention from all over the place
01:17and get people singing along and loving it. So yeah, that's our mission.
