Devo also just announced for Flow Festival. Just noticed that GM follow Devo on Twitter (not sure if that is new). FO headliner nailed on?? Edit: Flow also have Suede, FKA Twigs, Polachek and Jockstrap.

Oya has added some interesting names! Devo, FKA Twigs, Caroline Polachek, Shygirl, Jockstrap, Makaya McCraven.

1. Jenny Hval - Classic Objects 2. caroline - caroline 3. Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There 4. Alvvays - Blue Rev 5. Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You Track: Jenny Hval - American Coffee Gig: Arooj Aftab, Green Man Festival *** More detail: Top 42 Albums (you can create the image via Topsters) Top 100 Songs (one song per artist) Music 2.pdf

Really hoping for GM debuts from Alvvays and Weyes Blood this year. Then a handful of acts on the experimental side (e.g. Laurie Anderson, Mabe Fratti and Marina Herlop) and some non-anglophone artists. Then if they can somehow get Simz, Pavement and Sigur Ros as headliners, they can have all the repeat bookings they’d like!

Totally agree

Black Midi, Panda Bear/Sonic Boom and Porridge Radio (amongst others) added to Canela Party.

Yeah not hating on them at all! Very promising band!

Yeah was gunna say they’re very similar to Beach House, not as good though.

Me too! The ones I do know aren’t great though, apart from White Flowers who I like.

Haha I’m waiting for Simz as well! I reckon it will slot in somewhere in my AOTY list quite high. Got a top 100 songs list ready to go as well!

I think he would be a good shout for a prominent slot but I’m not sure he’d headline. He did EOTR a few years back and I think he was second down on the second stage, so headlining seems like quite a big jump. He last played GM and long time ago so quite difficult to place him.

Some more names for Canela party coming this Friday. Thanks! How come?

First few names announced for Haldern Pop Festival in early August in Germany. Not many exciting names unfortunately, apart from clipping. Katy J Pearson, Comet is Coming, Golden Dregs and Sorry amongst those announced.

Simz has just announced a new album. Let’s go!

Absolutely love that song! I have it at number 10 on my own list.

Yes looking quite likely as they're also at Szget and Oya prior to GM. No headliners jumping out yet apart from Jamie XX. Iggy Pop an outside bet perhaps. *** Electric Picnic (1-3 Sep): Amyl & The Sniffers Canela Party (23-26 Aug): Les Savy Fav, Crack Cloud, Nilufer Yanya, Tropical Fuck Storm, Shame, Osees. Pstereo (18-19 Aug): Aurora, Protomartyr Szget (10-15 Aug) : Jamie XX, Moderat, Amyl and the Sniffers, The Comet is Coming, Los Bitchos, Kelly Lee Owens, Mall Grab We Out Here (10-14 Aug): Could in theory see anyone on the line up at GM (e.g. Black Midi, Sun Ra Arkestra, Cymande, Makaya McCraven, Wu-Lu, Moin etc.) Oya (8-12 Aug): Amyl and The Sniffers Off Festival (4-6 Aug): Panda Bear & Sonic Boom, Off!, Melody's Echo Chambers, The Staples Jr. Singers, Gilla Band, Tropical Fuck Storm, Haru Nemuri and Big Joanie. All Together Now (4-6 Aug): Jamie XX, Iggy Pop, Lankum, Kelly Lee Owens, Daniel Avery

Hey @Drums Please Fabi’m not going to Primavera but here’s a list of top quality guitar tunes to check out from the line up off the top of my head: Swans - Oxygen Boris - Feedbacker, pt 2 Black Country New Road - Sunglasses Bad Religion - I Want to Conquer The World The Beths - Future Me Hates Me Soul Glo - Gold Chain Punk Built to Spill - Cary The Zero Gilla Band - Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage Le Tigre - Deceptagon Alex G - Forever

Yeah was thinking that about Crack Cloud but they do have a new album out since they last played so you never know. Yeah I reckon Osees are at that level. Did 2 nights at electric Brixton this summer so a pretty big draw.

Yeah I agree. Some decent Far Out type bands already: Gilla Band, Les Savy Fav, Crack Cloud, Osees and Protomartyr all about at the right time.

Ah! I’m not sure they’d be back after headlining back in 2017 though. I forgot to add Off Festival to the list above. Lots of exciting names on that line up.

Maybe if there’s a thread created for everyone’s lists! Still got a few weeks I reckon to tinker with it!

Always the best list imo as it is intended in part to showcase albums that most other publications don’t covers. You could argue that those albums are not covered by others because they are sh*t but I think it would be more correct to say it’s because Quietus go above and beyond to find/listen to things from unconventional sources! Have listened to 30 albums in their list. Loved the Jockstrap, caroline and Richard Dawson albums in particular (they’re 14, 2 and 24 on my list respectively). Also very interesting to me that BCNR are not on the list given that John Doran (Quietus editor) proclaimed them the best band on the planet not too long ago. EDIT: Ah seen John on Twitter said he had AFUT as No. 21 but no other writers voted for it so it didn’t make the list.

Will keep a list of possibilities based on other August festivals around U.K./Europe. Please add to this as you see fit! Canela Party: Les Savy Fav, Crack Cloud, Nilufer Yanya, Tropical Fuck Storm, Shame, Osees. Pstereo: Aurora, Protomartyr Szget: Jamie XX, Moderat, Amyl and the Sniffers, The Comet is Coming, Los Bitchos, Kelly Lee Owens, Mall Grab We Out Here: could in theory see anyone on the line up at GM All Together Now: Jamie XX, Iggy Pop, Lankum, Kelly Lee Owens, Daniel Avery Oya: Amyl and The Sniffers

We need a Paredes De Coura announcement. Believe they’ve shared a headliner (plus others) with GM basically every year.
