Fighting with Wire, Headlining Glasgowbury 2010<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The headliners for Glasgowbury 2010 are primed and ready to go and in their own words, they\u2019ve never been more excited about a gig.<\/p>\n

Cahir, Jamie and Craig, the men and monsters who make up Derry\u2019s Fighting With Wire, are all set to leave their mark all over Glasgowbury 2010 with a performance that will put them back on top of the pile.<\/p>\n

And after being forced to pull out of least year\u2019s headlining slot to begin work in America on album number two, the punk rock trio have never been more energised about a performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would almost have been more appropriate for us to headline last year with Man Vs Monster just out and on the back of everything that we were doing it would have been the perfect end to that cycle,” said the band’s frontman Cahir.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019re extremely excited about Saturday \u2013 because this is our comeback, and to do it on Glasgowbury\u2019s big birthday is just something else.\u201d<\/p>\n

The long wait for the follow up to Man Vs Monster is almost over and Bones Of The Twilight will, says Cahir, see the light of day in the new year.<\/p>\n

Ahead of that, there\u2019s an Irish tour in September\/October and a UK tour in November to contend with alongside single number one from the new collection.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlasgowbury will be the starting block for the new stuff, we\u2019ll be picking up where we left off and using it as a stage before we go on tour again.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Saturday\u2019s headlining slot, Cahir promises the band have a few tricks up their sleeves but that it won\u2019t take over from what they hope will be a real rock show.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be giving people a taste of the new album but we\u2019ll still be playing the older stuff that everybody knows. It\u2019ll be a chance for people to hear where we were and where we\u2019re going.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut this is as much about Glasgowbury and we can\u2019t wait to headline it \u2013 we\u2019d have been happy to play anywhere on the bill to be honest, but being asked to headline is just an honour.\u201d<\/p>\n

So while the jet-lag begins to wear off (\u201cWe got back on Friday and we\u2019ve been wrecked ever since\u201d), Fighting With Wire have locked themselves into rehearsals for what promises to be one of their biggest and most important gigs to date.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to try and play as best a rock show as possible and get the craic going. So hopefully people will join us for the celebrations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glasgowbury 2010 takes place this Saturday 24th July and a number of tickets are still on sale. See www.glasgowbury.com<\/a> for full details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
