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.
GOAT show.

If EOTR also had Lonnie Holley, Julia Holter and Model/Actriz that would be great but aside from that I’m not sure I’d be that bothered, albeit GM have lots of solid names. One Leg One Eye (and Oxn) would be a good addition to EOTR and maybe likely if Lankum are already there.

Bit of a mixed bag.
Big Thief and Jon Hopkins would be good headliners for me. Check out Hopkins’ Glastonbury West Holts 2019 set - looked fantastic. I think Sampha is a good choice, although I’m not a massive fan. Sleaford Mods obviously woeful.
The next lot of acts are mostly a bit bland or crap - nothing hugely exciting apart from Julia Holter (!!), and arguably Omar Souleyman and Max Cooper (av). That said, I’d be happy to see JAMC, EITS, Osees, Tinariwen, Blonde Redhead and Joy Orbison. Arlo Parks and BCNR on there taking up high slots just makes the whole thing look way worse.
There’s a lot of good stuff in the next lot of acts, though. Lonnie Holley would be my no. 1 must see, amazing artist. Released my favourite album of last year. Others I’d be keen to see: Model Actriz, One Leg One Eye, Bar Italia, Wednesday, Bdrmm, John Francis Flynn, Hotline TNT, Mannequin Pussy, Loraine James, King Creosote, Sofia Kourtesis, Blue Bendy, Tapir!, Ugly, Cerys Hafana and Maruja.
There’s a band on there that sound great from the description called Brown Wimpenny. They sound like an experimental folk group along the lines of Shovel Dance Collective. One for fans of them, Lankum, Oxn, Broadside Hacks I expect.

Dogsbody? Model/Actriz?

Was thinking some of the undercard names, wouldn't surprise me if the likes of Quade, Benefits, HAAL, Colossal Squid, AK/DK made an appearance.
Pretty good lineup in general I think.
Good news! Colossal Squid are playing!

Funny seeing references to my clashfinder on social media as being some sort of inadvertent leak 😂

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.
The Decemberists seem quite nailed on to me at this point

Didn't know about the personnel but knew there was a link there, just makes me think why both of them are so heavily delayed with it being a similar team across both festivals.
Glastonbury line up has never been released before March (albeit a headliner is sometimes announced on a standalone basis before now).

Didn't realise this. Quite intrigued though, do you know what parts of Glastonbury are booked by the GM team?
At least one member of the GM team is involved in the “Park” and “Other” stages. I’m not sure of the extent to which they are involved though as presumably the booking team for those Glastonbury stages is made up of more than one person. The Park link is more obvious as the Park and GM line ups are often quite similar, whereas the Other stage is often pretty different.

Glasto line up not being out is irrelevant even if the GM team are involved in some of the stages.
A lack of an announcement of the announcement date is telling but it could still come today/tomorrow!
-
Alvvays out as touring US.
My prediction hasn’t lasted long!
-
Blimey…
The Smile ruled out?
-
Haha yeh just wanted to spark some debate in the final few weeks until the line up! I tried to mostly fill it with realistic acts that are around over the right sort of time, although I agree it’s probably way too strong.
I think Pixies are pretty unlikely but can’t really think of another good option. Wouldn’t be too surprised if they had one electronic type headliner like Hot Chip/Caribou/Four Tet but other than Justice I’m not sure who is likely from those that are touring in August. I think Field Day rules Justice out in any event. Guess it could just be someone that isn’t necessarily doing other EU festival dates…wouldn’t be too surprised with Underworld for example. Little Dragon could also fulfil their 2020 booking as well, although they were Thursday I think.

Massive attack too massive I think! And they're playing a big one dayer in Bristol on the 25th so don't think they'd overshadow that. Are Leftfield in contention does anyone think?
Ah yeh forgot about the Bristol show
-
Leftfield would be a bit random and have headlined the Thursday in the past so not sure GM would suddenly have them headlining.
PJ Harvey unlikely because of the Gunnersbury Park date I think is the idea.
-
Thinking Jesus & Mary Chain, The Smile, Big Thief and Pixies are the mostly likely combination now (even given Pixies’ tour dates). Just seems the most obvious right now baring someone more unexpected. Not much stylistic difference between them for sure but that’s maybe not unusual for Green Man when you look back at previous years.
One bigger act that’s around that I’m not sure we’ve discussed is Massive Attack. Probably too expensive but you never know…wanted to throw it out there.
-
Metz seem like a pretty strong act for Thursday which is cool.
Geese are ruled out as they are in the US over Green Man. Thought they might be likely.
-
Wonder if The Congos will end up on the line up. Playing quite a lot this summer, including a London show on the Thursday following Green Man weekend.
-
When are these dossers dropping the line up?
-
Clashfinder: https://clashfinder.com/m/wa2024/
Pure guesswork at the moment.
Someome else had set this up but had only added a handful of acts so I’ve added the rest of the stages and acts.

A little bit of a curveball but I wonder if New Order could be a possibility - they've two regional gigs scheduled a few days after (and almost certainly doing All Points East given the dates) and might fit in a sort of Kraftwerk placement way.
They'd be the biggest band on the bill but did Blue Dot, same capacity as GM, a couple of years ago so aren't opposed to doing these mid sized festivals.
Does the fact that one of them is a Cardiff date effectively rule them out though? I think others said similar for Idles given their tour dates as well.
-
Evening and headliner time all looks great as per the clashfinder.
Nourished by Time > Sleater Kinney
SLIFT > Joanna Sternberg > Fever Ray
Cornelius > Lankum
Lacking a bit of depth for me though on most of the days but obviously that could change with subsequent announcements. Post-headliner also looks a bit naff so far.

These guys sound fun. Not a million miles away from Death Grips tbh
Green Man 2024
in other UK festivals

Ugly if you like the new BCNR.
Maruja if you like the old BCNR.
