Hmmm, upon further inspection I'm not so sure about this schedule. I think that people are unlikely to spend 2 hours watching a film when they could be off seeing some music. Surely a better bet would be to show a program of mainly short films, so that one could pop in for 15 minutes or so between bands and then leave again, with feature films only in the morning and late evening?
-
Oooh Iron Giant at 10am on Sunday! Might just have to make myself get up early for that one.
-
What is anyone's opinion on wearing the t-shirt of a band to the gig of a solo artist who was a member of said band, or perhaps to a gig of a band who shared members with the band on the t-shirt? Could I wear, say, a BSP t-shirt when seeing Brakes?
-
That is odd. Surely it makes Pulp a non UK festival exclusive headliner, seeing as they are headlining Wireless. Melvin you liar!
-
It does worry me, every time i see someone describe a band as "perfect for a sunny afternoon on the Garden Stage", what would happen if it rained. Mogwai could work well, as could Bo Ningen, but it seems that EoTR has a very sun oriented line up in general.
-
I'm all in favour of a weather thread, as this can really make or break a festival in my opinion. I actually don't really have anything to contribute though, except that last year's GM weather was truly awful. How has EoTR weather been in previous years?
-
Likewise but I put a lot of that down to the weather at Green Man and having had three days of being wet by that point. Green Man and EotR seem to be playing headliner swapsies this year.
-
I found Joanna Newsom to be unremarkable at Green Man last year, but I am very excited about Best Coast, and, to a lesser extent, Lykke Li.
-
How do you know it will be at 11? Did they tweet it?
-
Pavement aren't doing any UK festivals, although their reunion so far has seemed to be about the money, so they probably wouldn't play EOTR. I would love to be proved wrong though.
-
Hmm, Flaming Lips don't have any festivals lined up, unless you count the Eden Sessions (which I don't think you can, really...). *That* would be a coup.
-
So perhaps if the shins aren't getting back in the studio they could play just a one-off date and broken bells could tour the rest of the time? This could also apply to Sonic Youth/Thurston Moore if he is touring his solo album.
-
OK, two more names to throw in the hat:Broken Bells or The Shins?
-
Eels are playing T in the park, so it won't be them. Could it be Sonic Youth?
-
Why does the UK festival exclusive thing rule out Pj and interpol? I know they are playing electric picnic but that's southern Ireland, which isn't Uk. I think Polly is nailed on, being from Dorset and all, but I'll place my bet on Belle & Sebastian for the better odds.
-
Belle & Sebastian aren't playing any UK festivals yet, so could they be a possibility?
-
Thanks Ben I now do indeed see what you did there. I actually also am a bit of a post-rock lover myself and I constantly reference EITS lyrics in conversation
On a different note I keep refreshing my hotmail to see only my previous email from the Autolux newsletter. They have a new EP out today, anyone think they could play? Obviously not headlining but they would be more rocky... -
Ben EITS are a green man exclusive, sorry. I'm hoping for any of Eels, Bright Eyes, Sufjan Stevens, Belle & Sebastian or The National, but i'm sure it will be none of those and I'll still be delighted!
-
Next band announcement plus Friday headliner to be revealed Tuesday 1st March according to Green man's Twitter. Can't Wait!
-
Fleet foxes headline with Bellowhead , The Burns Unit, Villagers, Wild Nothing, Sic Alps, Polar Bear, Robyn Hitchcock, Ellen & The Escapades, Our Broken Garden, Emily Barker, The Gentle Good, 2:54, The Travelling Band, Bleeding Heart Narrative, The Ramshackle Union Band, Mancub Babywoman.
Solid start I'd say! Did anyone else only have the option of buying International Delivery with the Green man tickets?
-
I don't understand how EOTR managed to get Midlake as an exclusive act without them headlining. If I were Midlake I wouldn't have signed that deal.
-
I'm pretty sure it used to say, after the early-birds had sold out, that 2011 tickets would go on sale properly on February 1st, but I may have been confused by a combination of my blindness and wishfully thinking they were giving us solid information. Now it just says information "soon"... Does anyone have any idea what prices all be? Also my wishlist: Headliners- Eels, The National, Sufjan Stevens
Further down I would love Beach House, whom they have hinted about in their blog, Villagers, Los Campesinos!, Anais Mitchell, maybe with a special dramatization of Hadestown, Best Coast and Built to spill come to mind instantly. Maybe Salem and Caribou to curate Far Out after Dark? So excited...

I like the chocolate Bourbons that come in the three packs, like in classic school packed lunches. Got a pack the other day with three and a half biscuits in it. We laughed, then took a moment to think about the poor person who got only two and a half biscuits.
