  1. I’m giggling at the thought of a bunch of hen-doers storming down the front of the Big Top to cause havoc during a Clipping or Armand Hammer show.
  2. Prediction time then! Partially also a wishlist because I'd be happy with all these acts. Woods headliners: The Decemberists (Thurs) Young Fathers Big Thief ANOHNI and the Johnsons Woods subs: Songhoy Blues Jockstrap Alvvays Garden headliners: Lankum Osees Kings of Convenience
  3. Would love for the following to be re-booked: Andy Shauf, Big Thief, Ian Noe, Makaya McCraven, Monophonics, Songhoy Blues, Altin Gun, Julianna Barwick, Les Amazones d’Afrique, Rolling Blackouts, Star Feminine Band, Buffalo Nichols, EJ Thackray, Moor Mother, Nala Sinephro, MC Yallah.
  4. Absolutely tons of great suggestions here, especially Ichiko Aoba, Moor Mother, Grouper, Mdou Moctar, Spellling, clipping., Haru Nemuri and Anna Von Hausswolff (plus the ones I also mentioned on my list).
  5. I’m the guy that posted the massive list, so just thought I’d share my usual methods for discovering new music: 1) Sign up for an account on the website RateYourMusic.com. This is how I discover probably 75% of the new music I listen to nowadays. I like to work my way through their yearly charts and filter by genres that interest me, so it’s easy to find e.g. the highest community-rated post-punk albums of 2023. The genres get super specific, so if you’re a big industrial metal or ambient americana fan, it should be pretty straightforward to find albums that you’re likely to enjoy. 2) Follow Earfeeder on Instagram. They haven’t posted since May for some reason, but they usually do these fantastic round-ups of the best albums released each month in a variety of genres. 3) Follow the weekly new releases threads on the DrownedInSound forum. 4) Check out other festival line-ups. I like to look at Le Guess Who? for inspiration, as their line-up is always super diverse and genre-bending.
  6. Wish I could replace the Dry Cleaning vocalist with literally anyone else, because they have pretty much all of the other ingredients required to make a semi decent post-punk band.
  7. I know you’re only being semi-serious, but still… hard, hard pass on that.
  8. Not a cargo shots person myself, but surely it's more important that people wear whatever they feel comfortable in?
  9. Jesus, they don't mess around do they? Looking at the line-up I'd also expect to see Snooper and Wednesday at EOTR, and possibly METZ. Might be too soon for Gilla Band to return, but you never know.
  10. Agreed - it's the best ambient album I've heard in quite some time. So serene and moving.
  11. Ooh, where did you read that he's planning to tour the UK next year? An early afternoon slot would be perfect - I can already picture 'Let's Pretend We're Not in Love' floating across the Garden Stage area.
  12. I could never contemplate skipping an event as magical as EOTR just because of some dirty toilets, but to each their own I guess.
  13. Might as well use this as a general 2024 wishlist thread. Going to focus on acts which have released an album this year. I've really enjoyed all of the following over the past 8 months and could definitely see at least a few of them making an appearance next year: Dougie Poole The Clientele Billy Woods & Kenny Segal Dudu Tassa & Johnny Greenwood Colin Stetson Young Fathers Kelela Tim Hecker Model/Actriz Lankum Andy Shauf Fever Ray REZN ANOHNI and the Johnsons The Lemon Twigs Susanne Sundfør The Canyon Observer Gia Margaret The Tubs Rắn Cạp Đuôi Lucy Liyou Hayden Pedigo Home Is Where Loopsel Maya Ongaku Terje Torkellsen The Reds, Pinks & Purples Nuovo Testamento Rose City Band Andrea Sluice Celestaphone Flyying Colours Ayano Kaneko
  14. Just seen the full list - Kings of Convenience would also be wonderful as a headliner. And I’m not sure how likely this is given that they don’t seem to have played in the UK since 2001, but an appearance by Bob Hund on the line-up would make my year.
  15. Most of those artists are a bit too big for EOTR now I think, at least if we’re measuring them against the size of the headliners in recent years. ANOHNI and the Johnsons seems the most likely, which I’d be really pleased with as the new album is amazing.
