From the EOTR Facebook page:

'Dont forget tomorrow, 24 bands being announced!'

Can we make it tomorrow please?

[shoebox]

I am fully expecting to let a little whoop of excitement out in the office and get sent home on grounds of insanity. Can't wait! 24 bands!

[geofelgie]

I know, 24 bands.........the official start of the year, unreasonably excited

But then imagine if I don't like any of them?

Hmmmmmm........more likely to like all of them!

Whoa! Especially pleased with The Antlers, but yeah, don't know a great deal about most of them. Should be an interesting few months checking them all out. Very excited!

[langerabend]

oh yes, and I am already discovering SNOWMAN. wild! pretty noisy, and the overall feeling (ANTLERS, BLACK MOUNTAIN) it seems a little bit more diverse this year, already. (first impression...)
the announcement today does show though, that the whole twitterlist was a complete dead end.

Ha! The Twitterlist is still alive! None of these are Garden Stage headliners. I'm standing by my science!

[langerabend]

well good luck with your cause! I am the first to buy you a drink if billy bragg, dinosaur and the decemberists are actually playing. promise!

Loving the fact that Ruby Suns, Papercuts, The Unthanks(hopes it's quiet) and Dengue Fever have been announced. There's news on eFestivals about it here:

I'm going to have to try that Ruby Suns album again. I've given it several attempts but it's never really won me over. A lot of people who's tastes I generally agree with love it as well.

I know a lot less about this list than I did about last year's list so I am less excited but I'm sure it'll fine.

I think it's even better than what we had after a couple of announcements last year. There's more diversity, that's for sure.

I agree 100%! I had a medium crisis last year. then it still was such a wonderful festival.
besides: there is still so much to come.
I cant wait until september. . . (hm, that's a song by peter & the test-tube babies, btw.)

[sadwitch]

Yeah I know.

I was just saying I was previously more excited as it was tailored to my exact musical tastes right from the off

Could not believe my eyes when I saw the Felice Brothers in the list. Ian Felice has a voice to die for and 3 fantastic albums to their name. I am happy !! Maybe Simone (Duke and the King) will join his brothers for a special reunion.
check this for a taster.

Jessica Lea Mayfield but no Avett Brothers? And while it's cool to see the Felice Brothers on there (not to pick on them, just sort of similar bands, hell, they're even both family bands haha), it's just a bummer not to see the Avetts. One of my favorites.

Also, again running off the Jessica Lea Mayfield tangent, The Black Keys would really throw some noise into the mix. Hell of a live act to boot.

Even so, that's a ridiculously good line up.

Simone never left did he? I thought The Duke & The King was/is just a side project.
