Still feel like Yard Act will lead second announcement.
-
A Savage and Johnny Flynn clashing would be a nightmare
-
Yeah I've told my group not to hold their hopes out for any particular older song (other than masterpiece) when it comes to them.
-
Yeah the forest part of End of The Road is the one thing I miss really. Can never manage it anymore with it always being at the start of the academic year.
-
Loving Johnny Flynn so far, I'd never seen the detectorists tv show before but after listening to his theme tune for it non stop I've given it a go. The lineup is getting me into new telly, let alone new music.
-
Yeah I'm really enjoying a few of the newer tracks especially spud affinity and that single, Vampire Empire. Gotta tell myself I've already seen them do that older material at eotr 2017 and gm 2019.
-
I know there's no point living in the past and bands probably get sick of playing their hits but it's a damn shame how little Big Thief play from their first two albums. Looking at their setlists from last year and they play almost entirely new material, which is good but no masterpiece (badum tshh!)
-
They've confirmed that the top 4 are the headliners, no more to come.
-
Wonder if Yard Act will lead the second announcement, feels like they were really likely.
-
I was a lot more excited to see them before I saw on their setlist that they hardly play any of their first two albums. I'm sure the new stuff is great but there's so many fantastic songs they're leaving behind.
-
I've definitely felt a little similar but I think built it up in my head that they were going to get some really standout unique headliners after kraftwerk and devo.
-
There's no way they'll clash big thief and black country new road. The two bands feel very similar now that bcnr have shifted their style.
-
Am I missing something with Jon Hopkins? All seems very ambient to me on Spotify, are his sets a bit more lively in person? I found something similar with four tet though so probably just not my style of music.
-
Yeah that's a pretty disappointing set of headliners but some great acts in the undercard. I love BCNR but I'm surprised they're back already, hopefully with new music. Their set in 2022 was my highlight of the weekend. Can't believe I was getting excited for The Smile, Pj Harvey or Pixies and we've got the waitrose equivalent of British "punk".
-
Ah that oughta do it
-
Sorry I've not heard of that band, how does that clue suggest them?
-
Anyone know prices for this please?
-
She's gotta be at Glastonbury, only European dates are in June so far, can't see her doing June and August in Europe.
-
Thundercat just announced at all points east as part of the Kaytranda day, is it too soon for him to come back?
-
Not too familiar with them outside of Parks and Rec cameo, I'll give them a listen. Would be fun to get someone like them that isn't in the UK too often.
-
My final prediction for headliners is Jesus and Mary Chain, Big Thief, Pixies and PJ Harvey. They might not be able to afford pixies and pj harvey but I can't think of anyone else who is the right size, free that weekend and doesn't charge a fortune to perform. A surprise headliner that is nowhere else is the dream though.
-
From what I can remember, I think it was something like the band had said they'd headline back in 2013/2014 during the Vampires of the City tour but had to cancel before they were announced. So they did 2018 as a "favour"/small warm up before their big return. Might be wrong but that's what I remember hearing at the time.
-
Makes sense, they'll probably come back next summer with a load of dates. Similar to when they did end of the road in 2018 and then Glastonbury and lots of other festivals in 2019.
-
They've been pretty open about who they can afford in the past, I feel like Vampire Weekend would be one of those acts but you never know, it was a shock when End of the Road booked them but I know there were certain circumstances there.
-
Hahaha yes apologies!
