eFestivals Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 6 minutes ago, Nobody Interesting said: Why does them being there the week after mean they are not for this year? I read the Number 6 announcement which just says "Festival No.6 is the band’s only confirmed UK date outside of London" so perhaps they will play others but are not yet confirmed?? i've been told (cos I wrote a piss-take article ) that it will be their "only northern date" or "only northern festival". (that's from memory, so i hope I've got that right). As that's different to what was said for no.6 in its press release, it implies there's stuff outside of london in the south to be announced.

Fat_Buddha Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hookworms were bloody annoying the other year in the Tipi, keeping a very packed tent waiting until the sound man had it JUST so. Don't much care for Feist, but will be interested to see if she joins in with Tweedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there was a secret set that I missed. They were phenomenal that year though. Such a great band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i remember correctly Hookworms were supposed to play a late night tip secret set but there was an issue with the volume that is allowed after midnight and they were too loud and weren't able to go ahead with it.

Jeez, that’s bad news though. I see they say “Obviously if there's no band, then it's understandably not really in Bella Union's interests to put out the previously announced album, therefore I’ve asked them not to release 'Up!’ at this point in time, which they have agreed to.” I would absolutely disagree from Bella Union’s point of view. Fair play to them, but they would have been onto a very good thing having the last album to release. Hopefully it’ll see the light of day at some stage.

xxialac Posted March 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 New Green Man acts today. Would have liked Joan as police woman. Otherwise, it pales in comparison to EOTR and oddly a lot of acts that were booked for EOTR last year. Roll on next week's announcement of new bands.

Agree. I quite like them...but they are not yet headliner status and probably never will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno... they sold out Brixton and a string of other UK/Europe shows in large theater type venues. Pretty sure that would make them big enough to headline EOTR and Green Man.

I think one of the great things about EOTR is its consistent approach of pushing "smaller" bands higher up the bill, giving them their first chance to impress a bigger crowd and break into bigger things, including some of the headliners we've seen over the years. I love it when the lead singer humbly says something like "oh my God, I didn't think this many of you would show up", which happens quite regularly.

I agree and I think Gizz would fall into that category. They seemed pretty in awe at the amount of people at the Brixton show. Festivals that champion up and comers are a great thing and it should continue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previously announced headliners were Fleet Foxes and The War on Drugs, so both male and very static on stage, and my guess is the 3rd headliner was going to be either female and/or someone who would add a bit of visual razamataz.

Nothing wrong with them as headliners two to three years ago, just a touch of the been-there-done-that syndrome, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Gizz are very visual and high energy in comparison with the other two. From what I gather they tried to get a female headliner but it didn't work out.

EOTR is definitely the better line up However it's worth pointing out that EOTR has a lot of bands that played green man last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
