I say you're clutching straws but the hint last time was Yo la Tengo, I've heard good things about Titus but never listened, where's a good place to start? it's a good thing Car Seat Headrest isn't playing this year after their twitter scrap

Maybe so. I wouldn't have thought anything of the tweet if it wasn't for there being a Yo La Tengo hint last time.

The Monitor is probably the best place to start. I think it's where most of their current fans started. There's a chance the set will be completely different as the new album they put out the other day is quite far from that musically, but regardless I'd recommend checking out The Monitor.

Yeah just listened to the new album and compared to the other albums it's a lot more barn dancey

If we're clutching at straws from random collections of words in tweets then this clearly references This Is Happening

And the latest one is a reference to All My Friends and therefore LCD Soundsystem are definitely playing.

Earlier this week the EOTR Instagram posted a story commenting how good the new issue of Loud and Quiet magazine looked. The Cover star this month? David Byrne. Could he make a return?

subbing St Vincent? I personally think that David Byrne is still big enough to headline EOTR but it isn't impossible. It is probably more of a case of EOTR supporting L&Q who have supported each other in the past if I'm correct

yeah it's just because they're media partners... DB won't play - especially as he headlined with St Vincent a few years ago.

Can't see it being db but would absolutely love titus andronicus. 

I went to see nils frahm and it was one of the best gigs i've ever been be very pleased if he got announced

I agree that the place to start with Titus Andronicus is the greatest album ever released, The Monitor.

[Mash011]

Don't fuckin tease me like this @dentalplan. To my knowledge they've never played a proper UK festival (though they've done Primavera in Spain a bunch of times) but if anyone were to get them it'd be EotR. And I am expecting a big tour for this year to be announced any day now. I'm not really convinced that's a hint but fuck me it'd be a perfect booking

[psbros]

Can’t wait for this announcement... there’s enough in the first wave to excite me, all it needs is 2 or 3 more decent acts (such as previous suggestions Nils Frahm, Titus Andronicus, Dirty Projectors) plus a couple of other late night acts in Big Top to dance to (Dan Deacon please) and it will be the best line - up I’ve seen for EOTR.

[psbros]

Oh and Pinegrove could be involved (Old friends, new friends) but maybe a bit cryptic!!

[WM Hall]

god damn a late night Dan Deacon set would be incredible

TITUS!!

A great booking.

Jonathan Wilson, Lucy Dacus, Soccer Mommy all good IMO. Not sure about rest but suspect there’s a few gems in there as usual 

[WM Hall]

big shrug from me but i guess there's a load of bands to check out!

 

titus are decent though and stealing sheep put on a show..

RD:Festival season is steadily approaching so after this current tour, what does Titus Andronicus have planned next? Is the band going to be jumping on some festivals this summer?

PS: We’re not playing any festivals at all, haven’t gotten any invitations.

RD: That’s a bummer.

PS: Eh, well it would be nice to have the pay day from those things, but the truth is we’re doing the acoustic show this year with just myself and Alex Molini on piano. In this case, it wouldn’t be appropriate for a big outdoor summertime festival. I will say that we’re playing the Treefort Music Fest in Boise, Idaho, later in the month but that’s not a big outdoor thing with a big stage. It’s more like a SXSW kind of a thing where the festival takes over all the clubs in town and puts on shows every night, which I think is more appropriate for the acoustic show that we’re going to be doing. I’m not mad though, we’ve gotten to play some big festivals in the past so I can scratch that off the list. I’m not lamenting it too much although the money would be nice.

[rug568]

titus andronicus is an outstanding booking. Been meaning to see them since the monitor came out in 2010. 

Otherwise quite a low key announcement, although to be expected considering the quality previously announced

Pretty sure they played Reading many moons ago. Probably more, without checking.

Odd - I guess you can count on the tru patricians at End of the Road to be the ones to reach out. I hope this doesn't mean we're just getting the acoustic show because I'm not massively enthused by the prospect, had assumed once the current tour ends in April they'd be back on it with the full band. Band show on Woods with an acoustic Piano Stage show tho, that'd be the stuff. Might tweet at Pat and ask later on as he usually replies to stuff.

Ah you're right I completely forgot they did it in 2009. But that was before The Monitor tho so does it even really count.
