Peace: “the next logical thing to do would be to headline”

“Reading in a word?” drawls Harry, conducting an interview himself with self-directed questions. “Yes! Just so yes,” he laughs, “It was amazing. It went better than I expected. I was a bit scared.” “It’s our biggest show ever,” adds Sam “I saw Queens Of The Stone Age play it [on Friday night], and they kicked ass. Seeing the stage from the outside hits you with the reality. When you see the physical size of it, you think oh, heck, I’m going to have to get up there.”

“Do you know what I’ve remembered?” Harry exclaims, suddenly. “When we were choosing a band name we were like, imagine it as a backdrop on the Reading main stage. We visualised it, and now it’s like, fuck, we’ve done it. Back then, we hoped we’d get booked to play at The Rainbow [in Birmingham] one day. Reading was the limit of my pipe-dream, so what now? What am I going to do next? Shit,” he laughs. “The next logical thing to do would be to headline,” adds Sam.

75% of Peace might’ve been spotted in the crowd at Queens of the Stone Age (Harry admits he intended to go, but failed to navigate from the guest bar to the stage in ample time), but they’re not necessarily taking notes. Harry, in fact, has a few suggestions of his own for Arctic Monkeys.

“If Alex Turner wants me to refine his moves he only needs to ask,” offers Harry, generously. ” I’ve got a few suggestions. You know what, he needs to start doing one of my moves, a knee thrust - a latitudal knee-thrust. You just send your knee from east to west. Call me Uber cos my knee’s going west. Great move.”
