Astonishing how it kicks in at around 58 secs

putting the clashfinder link here as it’s got lost amongst all the idles chat https://clashfinder.com/s/eotr2024/

important message from the topic police: To keep on topic, any posts in this thread should relate to headline speculation. Although we now know who the headliners are, there’s still plenty to speculate about… what day will each act play? What songs will they play? what will they wear? what instrumentation will they have? etc Also, who will headline the various stages? Any posts not related to headline speculation should really be posted in a different thread. Perhaps an Idles discussion thread for idle discussion about idles.

Love your work. Can you do something about the phosphorescent, sprints, Mozart estate, Ichiko aboa, Jess Williamson clash though?

Last year the crossover with Moseley Folk was Wilco, Wallopers & Angeline Morrison Bands that could make sense on both line-ups could be: Lankum Mdou Moctar Eliza Carthy Bonny Doon Richard Hawley Big Thief BC CAMPLIGHT Bill Ryder Jones Decemberists Camera Obscura

Hoping we get the bands that should’ve played but never did…the festival that never was…. big thief emma Jane thackray moor mother les filles de illighadad wunderhorse mc yallah & debmaster Gabriels nala sinephro

Also: Ezra Collective?

This is the exactly the sort of speculation I need right now, even if it’s slightly over-optimistic. Any news on Thursday headliners? I was thinking something like Lambchop or Yo La Tengo. Or Sleater-Kinney 😊

Wednesday

The Good Best in Show for me was Charlotte Adigery & Bolis Popul - just joyful, & she seemed genuinely overwhelmed by the crowd reaction. Great light show too (one of the few benefits to being in the big top) Ezra Furman, Nina Nastasia & Anchoress (piano stage) were the most emotionally impactful for me. Joan Shelley; Angeline Morrison; Kara Jackson (twice) were stunningly good and Sylvie; Three Spoons & Caitlin Rose (piano) also brought me nothing but happiness Panic Shack were the most fun, with honourable mentions to (the fabulous) Courettes (twice); Mary Wallopers (twice); Wet Leg; Be Your Own Pet (surprise set) The Karaoke and the Stick Competition are pure joy with charming hosts. MadMadMad & Elkka DJ had me dancing the most even though I joined both halfway through Deerhoof, Moin and Horse Lords were excellent and the most intriguing of the things i probably wouldn't normally listen to I also thoroughly enjoyed: Last Dinner Party, Wilco, Charlotte Cornfield, Say She She, Greentea Peng, Samia (piano), Floodlights; Gretel Hanlyn; Teke:Teke; Charley Crockett; Murder Captial; Kokoroko; Hot Wax; and the free pink bags with the guardian. I'm sure the festival I missed was also brilliant & I heard great things about Fat Dog, Panda Bear & Sonic Boom, Arooj Aftab, Fatoumata, Mabe Fratti, University, Bodega, Sam Burton, John McKiel and more. The Bad 1. Not bad but slightly underwhelming... I was so looking forward to the piano stage as Line of Best Fit had built it up to say it was by far their best line-up ever, so I diligently turned up for most of the slots expecting to be wowed & I don't think it quite lived up to expectations (not helped by the piano tuning issues). Anchoress, Caitlin, Samia & Kara were all superb (although Kara not any different to her main set). Lilo were fine; Angel I only caught the end through a crowd of people, and she appeared a bit drowned out by Horse Lords; & we turned up on saturday afternoon for what seemed like a chat with future islands which we quickly left So actually nowhere good a line up as last year (Margo Cilker, Soccer Mommy, Magnetic Fields, Cassandra Jenkins, Kurt Vile, Lucy Dacus) & I feel i probably invested too much time hoping for a wow experience and missing out on some main sets that i might have enjoyed more. 2. I went straight to the boat after Gretel Hanlyn to catch the second half of Jessica Winter & there was nobody there, just a straggle of teenagers. Maybe I'd got my timing's wrong and it was already later than I thought. She must have played as it was in the Guardian's review 🙂 3. Going to Lou Sanders over Panda Bear/Sonic Boom was, in hindsight, not a wise choice. The Ugly For a festival that's so well-run there were a few unfortunate mis-haps (a) issues paying for things with phones (b) the hopelessly out of tune piano stage piano (c) the panic shack electricity failure.

My guesses: Folly Friday: Say She She, Mary Wallopers Saturday: Personal Trainer, PVA Sunday: Geese, Caitlin Rose piano Friday: Sylvie, Cass McCombs, Charlotte Cornfield Saturday: Samia, Runnner, Anchoress Sunday: Joan Shelley, Kara Jackson, Charley Crockett

Via Chicago would be nice as well
