+ Amy and The Sniffers and The Beths for the closing night (Apolo). Looks good!
+ Filthy Friends the super group featuring Peter Buck (R.E.M.) and Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney) at CCCB.
Also, there were almost 25 bands playing the Sunday last year. Only 14 are announced so far. New additions?
I think the others will come from Primavera Pro.
The Wednesday and Sunday programs feel a bit slimmed down this year - but that's in keeping with the gradual reduction over the last few years.

Don’t tell Espanyol fans Barcelona is a one club city ?
One of the catering staff a few years ago was wearing a T-shirt - How to tell the locals for the tourists. The tourists were wearing Barca tops and the locals Espanyol!
I am bit conflicted by the result last night. I've been dreading the dilemma of Liverpool playing the Champions League Final whilst Stereolab are on stage.

Glad to hear that Fucked Up are playing the Apollo.
Anyone got a link to which other bands are also playing there on the Weds?

New Hip Hop stage with Little Simz and other added acts.
Interesting ...
"And although you should dress to sweat for the SEAT Village Stage, there will also be an area in which to chill located on a platform above the water where urban art will be the centre of attention, along with a food area and lockers with phone chargers and free wifi so that the party can go on and on."
Perhaps "dress to sweat" loses a little in the translation.

Is there usually a coach option from Bristol?

THU
Bridget St John
Dirty Projectors
Jon Hassell
ApparatFRI
Cybotron
María José Llergo
Midori Takada
Sons of KemetSAT
Daymé Arocena
Suzanne Ciani
Mystery of Bulgarian Voices w/ Lisa Gerrard
Tim Hecker w/ KonoyoHassell moved to Thursday. Auditori guesses above to reflect this.
Dirty Projectors?
Are they not more of a Primavera or Pitchfork band?
Confused about the idea that MIdori Takada isn't big enough for that stage. She seems to me to be totally in keeping with previous triumphant Auditori acts like Lubomyr Melnyk. Do people think the New Normal is going to reduce the audience for those acts?

You've opened up an interesting side debate there - artists who've appeared at earlier EOTRs who wouldn't fit the festival now. I suppose you've got people such as Richard Hawley or Mumford & Sons who've drifted too deeply into the maintstream to work in 2019. Anyone else? (I know this is the predictions thread but can't be arsed to start a new one).
Idles?

He's not in their league though. He's more of an aging Mac DeMarco and we know what a flop he was.

That's a long time ago.

Not really End of the Road material though is he?

Guided By Voices
Can't see that. They're over in May/June time - first European gigs in 15 years. Given Bob Pollard's dislike of flying, I can't see them being here in September too.

Yeah, there was definitely some flag stuff going down in 2015.
I thought he handled it quite well. Not making a big deal but calling the out. I suppose they are a band that say a lot quietly. In Iceland he talked about going whale watching and how they were beautiful "and I hope you'll come to see it that way too". There's a place for Patti Smith style tubtumping but there's a place for quiet challenge too.
At the end in 2015 he thanked EOTR for having them and said he was surprised to be invited back after last time.

The answer is always Fucked Up. They're immense live, their new album is incredible and they're playing a club concert at Sala Apolo on Wednesday. Going to be one those Primvera gigs.
Was that the show where Jeff stage dived?

Janelle Monae has been getting 5 star reviews across the board for her show.
Just spotified her lp. It's far more interesting than the National or Arcade Fire. I'm beginning to this that the absence of Indie / Rock bands at the top of the bill isn't that bad, since I never listen to those bands anyway. Although I'm an Indie kid at heart, I'd rather watch good pop or hip-hip acts than lazy stadium indie any day.
It's just finding the good pop and hip-hop in this line-up.

Any guided by voices albums people would recommend? I didn't realise they'd been around so long. So too Primal Scream aside from Screamadelica which I know.
I'd say Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes for GBV.
Primal Scream - I think my next Favouritest is Sonic Flower Groove, but they won't play anything off that and it's not representative of the band now. Vanishing Point is the best of the post-Screamdelica lps but I think they'll draw heavily from Give Out But Don't Give Up given the recent release of the alternative Memphis version, which is probably where I'd start if I was you.

huge majority of negative comments on fbk tells me that world still havent gone totally crazy....this is disaster of line up and they sure will suffer financially and that will have reflection on next year line up...so yeah this is new normal
To be honest, I expected not to be going this year, the direction of travel beginning with the Radiohead year, has been fewer and fewer interesting acts each year. However, there are enough wow factor acts this year to make it worthwhile, so I've just bought a ticket.
I probably wouldn't get to see all of Stereolab, Guided By Voices, Liz Phair this year otherwise.

Sonic Youth.
-
Stereolab and Pavement would make me consider returning this year.

Stop having rotten headliners on both main stages one night and crackers on both stages the next.

- Someone told me that the Titus Andronicus and Ariel Pink sets were absolute car crashes- did anyone see them?
Someone else has posted a link to full description of the Ariel Pink set.
TA were ace. Totally passionate it was mostly Titus, but Ron Icus joined him for a few numbers. Supposedly a stripped down acoustic set but he had an electric guitar. Began with a tape of some American broadcaster saying that they were the bees knees, then he does a punk rock Karoke song in the style of Father John Misty but without the irony. Played mostly to an empty field, maybe 100 at the front even the usual burks in lawn chairs who plonk themselves in the main field all day left. At the end Titus shook the hands of the 30 people that loved it.

They've confirmed it officially, no football being shown tomorrow.
I tested my wind up radio before, just in case there’s no WiFi, and they were playing Friday I’m In Love.

If I get a wristband is it possible to give it back after Interpol, so that someone that's interested in the Cure can get in?

Surely the fact there’s been no official announcement on the big screen with all the questions suggests they’re trying for it?
When I saw Paul McCartney there in Hyde Park they had England v Germany on a screen near the sound desk during Elvis Costello.
That clash would have had me even more torn.
TBH, I think that the lack of announcement indicates that it's not going to be shown.

The vast majority of people at a big concert like Hyde Park look at the screens!
Really, even at the back I look at the stage? Even through a sea of heads I look at what I can see of the stage.
Anyway there’s not going to be a massive crowd at 3 o’clock while England are playing.
