If Bright Eyes played surely they would headline on Friday, Saturday or Sunday?

Would love King Gizzard to come back!

Would love Bright Eyes! Like a couple of others, I'm really not too bothered about IDLES coming back.

I agree that the Pixies would be a strange booking for EOTR, but I personally would absolutely love it! What do people think of Big Thief returning? Couple of great albums this year... Not sure what slot they'd do either

Would love Richard Dawson, Ezra Furman, Big Thief & (Sandy) Alex G back. Little Simz and Slowthai would also be great, partially just to mix it up a bit

Saw King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard in Leeds on Wednesday, would love them to play next year! What slot do you think they would do if they did play? Would love them headlining the Garden, but seeing as they headlined Green Man last year and have just sold out Ally Pally (~10,000 people) this might be optimistic...

Stereolab (Thursday) Will Oldham Super Furry Animals Ezra Furman I reckon Beirut will be back though, and wouldn’t surprise me if they got IDLES back in a big slot

Yeah, they got a decent crowd considering how early they were on - thought they went down pretty well. I loved it. They also apparently played a secret set at the piano stage which I annoyingly missed... Probably my favourite album of this year

3rd time for me, and loved it as usual! Weather was good, atmosphere was great on the whole, and the beer and food was excellent (the pasta and dosa places were my joint favourites). Highlights Ohtis, Stella Donnelly, The Beths, Parquet Courts, Martha (especially the Piano set), Jim Ghedi, Lisa O'Neill, Lewsberg, Aaron Chen, Ata Kak, Fontaines DC, BC Camplight, Jarvis Also enjoyed Spiritualized, Charlie Parr, Mitski, Kate Tempest, Courtney Barnett, Sleafod Mods Not so good As suspected, Black Midi are a load of overhyped bollocks (although I'll concede that the drummer is very good) Viagra Boys were also laughably awful Caught 20 mins of Yves Tumour and couldn't decide if it was amazing or terrible... I can see where people are coming from in terms of talking during some of the quieter sets. I find the best way to combat it to just move closer to the stage (if possible), and telling people to shut up usually does the trick. Hopefully will be returning next year!

Is there going to be a Whatsapp group again for secret set/piano stage info etc? Didn't end up using it much last year due to phone charging issues, but wouldn't mind it this year!

The only direct clashes for me are: Courtney Barnett/Low Murder Capital/Deerhunter However, the timings of Kikagaku Moyo and Fontaines DC mean that Black Country, New Road and The Murder Capital may have to skipped as the tipi will probably be heaving...

The Spiritualized/Du Blonder clash isn't confirmed, she could be on first on the woods stage?

Bit of shame how this now causes a direct Courtney Barrett/Low clash... I saw CB earlier in the year and have tickets for Kate Tempest in November, so will probably stick with the Garden stage that evening!

Which Electric picnic bands do you think could also fit in near the top of the End of the Road line up? Christine and the Queens? I really like Echo and the Bunnymen, but that won't happen...
