Absolutely storming lineup. 3 great headliners plus the Django's, Alvvays, Pond, Ultimate Painting, The Drink. I couldn't have wished for more. VERY HAPPY!

[retromoz]

oh, alright. I will go again. ;p

[5co77ie]

definitely a line-up that will appeal to EOTR regulars.

Any idea which day Sufjan is headlining? Just applying for stewarding shift patterns now.

from the link above:

Friday night will be Stevens' only festival show of 2015 - it'll also be his first time performing at any UK festival (and only his second anywhere). Tame Impala headline Saturday, and Sunday The War On Drugs make their only summer UK festival appearance of 2015.

Not if scottie posts it.

[mrtourette]

Yeah me neither.

[Mardy]

Ultimate Painting, Ought, Sleaford Mods and Fat White Family are a really good start. I'm more than happy with that.

Ah, but, this is what the End Of The Road own web site says (cut and pasted) -

Playing his first ever UK festival, Sufjan Stevens will perform on the Woods Stage on Saturday night, following Australia’s psychedelic victors Tame Impala on Friday. Sunday night will see the critics’ album of 2014 holders The War On Drugs play their only summer festival in the UK this year.

So, what was that about not trusting what Scottie poasts??

[cortezuk]

See Waterboys are confirmed for the Saturday night at Weyfest - maybe not EOTR material strictly but they would never go amiss in my book!

This is literally 15 minutes away from where I live and I can't convince anyone to come...

the war on drugs are playing 15 mins away from my house...

Go alone.

I'll happily mock you in person

[lamstonite]

Thats an awsome lineup. Along with the headliners im double happy about Ought and Django Django

When do we expect the next announcement?

[Fareham Grecian]

Just seen the Spotify playlist. Includes Deers who haven't been announced.

More good news!

[shoebox]

I think, and I may be wrong, but Deers have changed their name to Hinds, and there's nothing by Hinds on Spotify at present.

You are right, thanks. Impressed that EotR replied to my FB post within an hour confirming what you say.

Interested in this too. Lineup announcements were late february and late march last year if I recall, so I guess it's slightly up in the air. Extremely impressed with the lineup this year (except from the War on Drugs, really don't see the appeal...) though I feel it's slightly lacking in a few more iconic, established acts. Homing some acts of a similar stature to Yo La Tengo and Stephen Malkmus are included in the next announcement.

Still, not got much to complain about really!

[riverlodge]

absolutely brilliant start imho. very happy with this.

[killyourtv]

Jessica Pratt and Natalie Prass new to me but their LPs are wonderful,at different extremes of production as well. Both unmissable on that evidence

The headliners are a bit weak for me, well WOD and Tampe Impala anyway. Both were way down the schedule at Latitude last year; and I must be one of the few that didn't love the WOD album. They're better live though.

It's the acts further down that are the draw, the new BC Camplight record is great, as are the Jessica Pratt and Natalie Prass.

[5co77ie]

hoping they bring Knightmare back again, and I'll be in the woods

Tame Impala were second from top of Obelisk! War On Drugs weren't exactly way down either, third from top of the 6 Music stage just as their album was taking off.
