Fontaines DC won’t be there this year judging by a recent tweet.
What tweet?

Unfortunately most of my friends are already doing other fests and don't want to do another. I've tried looking around on Facebook to see if there are any solo groups going but have had no luck.
I'd really like to go but it's a struggle
Sign up to volunteer as a steward. I've done it three years in a row and met people each time. I still meet up with them every summer

Looks awful. That pub by the bridge - The Bridge End I think - was badly flooded not that long ago as well.
Important for GM attendees to visit the town during the festival and spend a bit of money I think. Such a nice town.
It's a yearly tradition for us to go get food from the bridge end at Saturday lunch time. The walk along the river really helps clear the hangover and is one of the highlights of my year.

So I could never get into Thundercat that much on record but I’ve been watching a lot of live videos recently and my god, the man is incredible!
The drummer and the keyboardist are insane as well - definitely a must see for me now!
I saw thundercat at field day a couple of years ago and it was very forgettable

So having a look at the mess that is the reading line up, fontaines DC are doing dates late August so fingers crossed we get them.

Yeah that's pretty terrible

Doesn't look like fontaines DC will be touring late into summer, their latest dates at the moment is first week of June.

End of the road blows it out the water for me. Top two lines very disappointing, but the undercard is decent. I'll still have a fantastic time if I only see one act so not too bothered

Kelly lee Owens owes us a visit after her cancelled set in 2018

@lessthanwill1 I hope you're doing a playlist this year?

Thoughts on idles headlining? Feel it would be realtively uninspiring considering they played last year but quite surprised they're not at eotr

That is an excellent line up, gutted about angel olsen as I gambled and got tickets to the murder capital in Manchester which is a day after angel. I live outside Manchester and can't justify two train tickets in two days
-
I didn't sleep very well last night and I'm blaming it on the prospect of angel olsen playing end of the road

ffs.
Is that the mirror clue?

Echo what others have said, they're both fantastic festivals. I prefer Green Man as that's the festival my friends go to. I honestly thought the eotr line up in 2018 was as good as it would ever get, but then green man came along in 2019. Sitting on the terraces overlooking the mountain stage is my happy place.
But the woods area of eotr is incredible. I also feel eotr does late night much better.
We're very lucky to have two truly excellent festivals in the UK.

Rumour has it the EOTR headliners are Pixies, Big Thief and Bright Eyes. If thats true then I guess you lot at Green Man have Angel Olsen.
Edit - obvious disclaimer that this might not be true.
Very interesting, pixies would be the only one out of the three that I would be interested in.

Same. But still not convinced she'd be a headliner.
My position is that eotr and green Man will be fighting over her, and potentially the clincher will be who will offer her the headliner spot. I think she more than deserves it, bearing in mind both festivals have promoted male artists to headliner status in the past.

If they announce Angel Olsen as headliner I’m gunna die
Same, but is there any reason for the sudden declaration?

Pigsx7 were on with Marc Riley last night. He asked them about festivals and they said they have a few booked in but didn't think they could announce them yet. They played last year but have a new album on the way so could be a possibility. They also namechecked Green Man as one of their highlights of 2019.
Would love that, they were one of the highlights of the summer for me

If Bright Eyes were at this, do you think they'd headline?
Conor Obest played 3rd down on the Mountain Stage in 2017 for reference.
Hmmm potentially, I don’t think people would be too bothered if they did
-
We can expect the lineup around the end of January can’t we?
This and the promise of the six nations in February are what get me through January

Floating Points is at Paredes as well now.
Feel like he’s nailed on for that Friday night Far Out slot like Maribou State and Mount Kimbie. He’s played GM a lot recently but with his new album out this year it might be a solid booking.
Hmmm I thought he was really boring in 2018. And he played both a live and DJ set to make up for John Talbot's late cancellation. Would be very uninspired in my opinion.

Yeah that's pretty clear
