"Tedious?" Is your sense of entitlement really that high?

[Swanmob]

No sense of entitlement, they're just making a meal of it. 

[Nick07]

Surely be this week.

Like to see Interpol, wilco and BNQT myself. 

Band of Horses and Grandaddy too.

Wednesday according to their facebook page

[Nick07]

Have they confirmed that ?

[jamesrfisher]

This from their Facebook page:

 

Happy to reveal we will be announcing the first wave of 2017 acts next Wednesday!

[GG306]

Foxygen confirmed.

 

They posted a zoomed in photo of the lines from their album 21st Century... on Instagram. Definitely them!

[shoebox]

Well, that's one clash I won't need to worry about then! Terrible band...

Yeah, just checked them out. Sucks big time

[Nick07]

Haven't they got a new album out ? 

 

[Nick07]

Can't see that on Instagram page

They have and it's bloody awful

[dentalplan]

Fock that's two massive selling points for me now. If they announce Interpol I'm gonna have to make a paper aeroplane out of the Manchester ticket I've bought for that weekend and fly it down to Dorset.

[WM Hall]

Foxygen are very hit and miss.. bits of the new album are great but the previous record was rubbish..

 

Anyway, wishlist time.. I want:

Dirty Projectors (not sure if Dave's touring but new album out)

Konono No.1

Weyes Blood

Omar Souleyman (after last year's pulling  out)

Parquet Courts

Andy Shauf

Jameszoo

Lambchop

Jens Lekman

 

And I'm pretty sure these two are playing.. <3

Girl Ray

Let's Eat Grandma

 

I'd also put money on the following to play..

Father John Misty

Tindersticks

The Lemon Twigs

Who do we think the skeletons playing connect 4 is alluding too?

He recently posted the Vaudou Game album cover? Vaudou means Voodoo, Skeletons are associated with Voodoo, connect 4 is a game?

You've won Dusty Bin!

[shoebox]

Yeah, I'm not reading too much into the images in the stop motion. It's not like in the past, a guy wandering around a record shop, wearing a wolf mask, meant that Wolves In The Throne Room were playing.

[RustySpanner]

The skeletons playing connect four have disappeared?!

No, sorry - my bad. On Simon's instagram rather than the official one.

Mistake.

[eagles69]

A band on spotify called Skeletons sounds Eotr like could b that simple

[Guy Incognito]

What do we reckon then? my first thoughts were The Antlers and Wolf Alice but doesnt look the same as either of the two album covers from them that I was thinking of.

[Goodfinger]

Pretty sure it'll be Parquet Courts.

If you Google Image search on "gold lights", this is one of the pictures that comes up.

As in, a reference to Light Up Gold?

Would be great if so!

I reckon so.  Haven't played since 2013, so about time for a return.  They don't seem to have anything else announced as far as I can see.

Alternatively I might be completely on the wrong track and it's Sparks instead (which would also be terrific).
