Groove Armada chat to I Like Music

ILM: Last time we spoke, you described your best Groove Armada moment as the first time you played Glastonbury. Are you going or playing this year and have you had any other career highlights since we last spoke?

TOM: We're not no, we didn't get a f***ing offer. It's really annoying. I've got enormous respect for the festival, it's the best festival in the world, obviously. But I don't understand how their booking system works. Obviously last year they had a year off, a fallow year, and they've got a lot of pressure, and there are a lot of great bands breaking, so perhaps if you had to choose between Groove Armada and The Gossip this year, maybe you'd go for the Gossip, because they're a newer band and fewer people have seen them. But it's disappointing because the festival dates we've just done in Australia were so good and there are only two members of our band that are still around from when we started, so it feels new and exciting. I know if we'd had a slot closing the Other stage, we would have smashed it. But what can you do, short of throwing your toys out of the pram, which is what we did, you just have to go with it. Hopefully we'll get booked for next year.
