Doves Live In Cardiff

Published June 5, 2010

Doves live at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Doves have no need to worry about their vagaries of success. The Manchester band are assured competitors on the big stage. Their ether-scraping psych-rock is perfect accompaniment as the sun sets over the stadium.

Kingdom Of Rust, There Goes The Fear, Pounding and Caught By The River are songs that swell to a crescendo built on swathes of glistening electric guitar, all sweet surges and soaring choruses.

Setlist with thanks to an optional extra at doves board.

Cherry Ghost

Black Fang Liverpool Uni

Got allot of emails/comments over the course of the tour about the support group. They were of course Cherry Ghost. I didn’t keep tabs of any of the Cherry Ghost setlists, if you did feel free to send them in. They changed the sets most nights.. Though I believe the tracks most folk were asking about are.. We Sleep on Stones, Kissing Strangers, Black Fang (see video above), Beneath This Burning Shoreline & Mathematics. All but the later are from their new album details here. Mathematics (which features Jimi Goodwin) was their first single which you can find on the debut album Thirst for Romance.

You can download We Sleep on Stones for free from their official website here.

As we previously reported Cherry Ghos t will be supporting all of the dates on the UK tour except for Folkestone. ~~Cherry Ghost will also provide the support for the Thretford Forest gig on June 12th.~~

Edit: Actually this is not the case! Ticket sites reporting this are doing so in error.

The Delays will provide the support for the Folkestone gig. Nice! I really enjoyed their first two albums, Faded Seaside Glamour is a great listen.
