Really cool line up!

Great to hear! Saw them at Jodrell Bank when Kveikur came out. Was amazing. Tried to make it sort of realistic, although it would be strong for me overall. Looking forward to seeing the Primavera line up to see which gems might be popping up next year.

It’s a shame these are all bad as I’d the idea is cool and Margate is great 😂

I had tickets to see Caroline at Heaven in London a few days before the first lockdown was imposed. I decided to leave it as I didn’t fancy risking it at the time, thinking I’d see her pretty soon after. Still not seen her and very excited to finally get a chance to! Also, don’t skip Arooj Aftab! You might think it wouldn’t work as well outdoors but her set at Green Man this year was so good, and that was outdoors in the sunshine.

Think it’s great that Wide Awake have chosen to give a female artist her first ever festival headline slot rather than a safer booking. I personally don’t think it matters that she’s playing a London show in the same year. Not all of her fans (me!) are able to get to a mid week show so I’m thrilled she’s doing a weekend festival.

Cymande would be a really fun booking. I included them in a prediction in one of the first pages of this thread as they seem to be quite active next year.

Ignore the “don’t” here haha - typo!

You might know her band Chairlift, which disbanded in 2017? Anyway, she is an extremely well regarded Art-Pop artist with a brilliant voice. Her album Pang was released in 2019 to much acclaim (she realised one prior to this but it didn’t get much of a reception, as it was not widely available and it’s an ambient album). I’d recommend checking out Door and So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings - both singles were pretty massive in 2019, particularly SHYHMF. I agree it’s a change in style for a headliner. My view is that she is much better than the previous headliners they’ve had though. There are somewhat similar artists on this year’s line up (Shygirl and Coucoe Chloe) so it’s probably a slight shift in booking strategy - or perhaps they just don’t want to book high quality and varied acts each year and not be pigeonholed into a certain style, which is fair enough.

Snapped Ankles, Julia Jacklin, Joan as Policewoman, BC Camplight and Lovely Eggs have all played recently from memory. That doesn’t stop them being there next year though! I think OSees are nailed on. Seem to be active next summer, including over GM weekend. Would expect them to be one of the FO headliners.

Caroline fantastic headliner for me!! OPN and Jockstrap fantastic additions. Like Shygirl and Butch Kassidy as well. Will definitely go to this. Arooj Aftab was my favourite gig last year.

Congrats!!

They’ll be there. Keep the faith 🙏

I’d love any of Simz, Bjork, Pavement, Sigur Ros, Phoebe Bridgers, Roisin Murphy or Jon Hopkins as headliners. But I would be more than happy with one of those and then someone else good on FO, WG or rising (e.g. dreaming of a Phil Evrum/Mount Eerie WG set and a Bikini Kill FO set).

Didn’t see this before I posted my other message. Would be a cool booking even if I don’t really know them that well, apart from THAT song…

The Walkmen are either teasing a reissue or a comeback tour…and the GM booker liked the relevant post on Twitter. Walkmen for GM 23!?

Good stuff - enjoy! The New Year’s Day one is called the Knackercracker - https://www.trionium.com/knackercracker/ Looks like a good event. Think a lot do it in fancy dress. 473m of ascent around Box Hill - which is sizeable for a 10k. Looking forward to it!

Awful. Just saw the news and posted on the GM thread. RIP

RIP Mimi 💔 Gutted I never got to see Low play.

Awesome! How did the Ringway Walk go? Impressive to go for a Boxing Day race, although I'm in for one on New Years Day - not sure which is worse haha!

Think it’s a bit overrated personally!

Just missed out. I do like it a lot!

Usually end of Jan

Yep would be good to have them there, although I’m not enamoured with the new album tbh. Really hoping Les Savy Fav - who are also at Canela Party - are added. Saw them in 2011 at one of my first ever gigs and still one of the best I’ve ever been at!
