Seriously, if you look at last years stage times, the clash will be minimal, if at all. I know it's only really guess work, but as a guide, it tells a much more positive tale.
We could be alright, people!
-
I saw Mountain Man in the Union Chapel the other week. They're quite brilliant in what they do, and it's definitely worth a listen. Not sure I'll catch them again here though.
-
I hope DragKnuckles doesn't mind, but I've bastardised his/her (Sorry!) clash guide from last year and plugged in this year's bands. It won't be totally accurate and I couldn't find room for some bands, but it should give a rough idea as to what to expect.
-
I have to admit, I do see Wolf Parade as more of a tent band, rather than open-air. But I'm guessing their thinking was based around how popular the New Pornos appeared to be from the feedback they've received. I think they were genuinely surprised at how excited people were about them being on the bill, so gave them a headline slot.
I dunno, whatever happens, something's going to go wrong with my plans to see all the bands I want to.
-
That Friday! Modest Mouse, New Pornos and Plants & Animals! AT THE SAME TIME! Come on, that's not fair! The curse of such an amazing line-up.
-
Sorry.
-
YES! Although I believe this is outlawed by End of the Road unfortunatley. No discos in your tents.
-
You're clearly a party animal, Matt. 2/3 o'clock is plenty late enough for me. I must be getting old!
-
I really wanted to go that, especially the date London as Yuck were also on the bill. Sadly I don't think Dino Jr are going to make it this year, maybe 2011.
Regardless, if anyone is reading this, who is responsible for putting together between bands CDs, for the love of God, stick Start Choppin' on there would you?
-
Perhaps they are waiting to announce Dinosaur Jnr at the same time
-
The only downside to the Union Chapel, and I mean the ONLY downside, because it is a lovely venue, is the fact that you can't take your alcoholic drinks back to your seat with you. This means there's always a mad rush between bands and a speedily downed pint, with a lot of other people thinking the same thing.
I wonder when the official announcement will come about Lanegan and Campbell? I was under the impression that they were going to reveal the Thursday line-up last week, but it never came.
-
They have quite a hefty back-catalogue, most of which isn't on Spotify, well not in the UK anyway. Personally I'm more of a fan of the later period stuff and would fully recommend starting with We Were Dead.... It seems their most instantly accessible from my perspective. That's not to do the earlier stuff a disservice, "The Moon & Antarctica" is a great album, as is "The Lonesome Crowded West", they're just not as packed with instant foot-tappers, in my opinion.
-
Well, they appear to have a pub onsite this year, according to an earlier Tweet, and will be running a beer festival. I suspect they'll be a few.
I was the complete opposite to you. Loved the Otter, but Late Red is local to me, so we get it a LOT in our pubs. Was a little disappointed by that. Still a cracking pint though.
-
I'd heard there was a "headline size artist" due to be announced for the Thursday, but this is BIG news.
-
The Allo Darlin' set is gonna be rammed isn't it? If their popularity on here is any indication of the wider audience, they're going to be MASSIVE!
-
Wolf Parade, Allo Darlin and The New Pornographers. Probably. I dunno. There's so many great bands on the bill.
Two months, people! We're so close!
-
When do the official times get announced? Mid-August? Maybe pick it up when we know/some names aren't on the list.
-
I posted the same question (sort of) on Facebook and been provided with an answer. Although it's still not clear what's happening:
"Hi Andrew, the full line up will be posted next week. Allo Darlin' and Meursault are the 2 bands playing on Thursday evening to entertain those who arrive early."
-
Based on previous years, when can we expect a time schedule for the different stages?
-
They did a very simple post on Facebook asking who would be there on the Thursday. Guess using that as a guide. Fairly sure they said that the bands playing on the Thursday would be in the Tipi Tent, so yeah, not a great deal of room for a half-full campsite of people.
-
Yeah, got to agree. If any of these bands are playing on Thursday only, that'd be pretty out of order. Not a massive problem for me, per se, as I'll be there on the Thursday, but I know people who aren't arriving until the Friday and are looking forward to Allo Darlin'. Some confirmation from the organisers would be appreciated.
-
I assume my mate hasn't come good with the cheque then? I'll give him a nudge, unless you have anyone else who's expressed an interest.
-
I've only seen them once before, and that was with Calexico. It was amazing.
I do hope it's a full band show. The live recordings I've heard sound fantastic.
-
No CD this year. I asked them about it a few weeks ago and they said they had licensing issues with a load of the bands so decided not to do one this year.

The Fleet Foxes set last year was very full, and yes, I heard about the one-out, one-in thing. Wonder if the crowd was heightened because of The Horrors pulling out last minute though? Dunno, possibly.
Anyway, yeah, I can echo the fact that you will be able to see pretty much whoever you want on the two main stages. The whole festival's only got a capacity of about 5000 (I think!).
