    Is it time to start speculating on who might be in the next wave of announcements?

    My wishlist includes:

    Sheer Mag
    Yard Act
    Helado Negro
    Chromeo
    Gossip
    Sacred Paws
    Girl Ray
    Marika Hackmann

    This is going off upcoming releases and I haven't done any tour schedule research 🙂

    Helado Negro yes please

    The Idles hate is hilarious. Half of you guys would have been creaming over them a couple of years ago in the big top but now they've had a couple of hits they're sh*t 😂

    Never watched them in big top. But Iceage were wonderful

    I imagined there'd be civil war over IDLES but they're one of four headliners and surely nobody ever watches all the Woods headliners, and it says something great about the festival's reputation that they're headlining this and Truck, which is double the capacity. And look how very strong that second line is with a previous and two expected headliners, especially as that was the big letdown last year (as I said yesterday, Arooj Aftab was great but she was nobody's idea of a Garden headliner on announcement)  CMAT is headlining a 10,000 capacity festival (Deer Shed) weeks earlier and she's in the third level! No Big Thief is a letdown especially with them being the last major Covid cancellation holdout but the GM weekend always worked out better for what they've so far announced.

    I've had a go at a speculative Clashfinder - it's relatively pointless at this stage because we don't have any day confirmations except BPB (and NewDad, who have gigs Friday to Sunday) but it shows where everything might fit together going on the graphic. https://clashfinder.com/s/eotr2024/

    Arooj Aftab headlined Garden last year. Critically acclaimed and a great set, but Lankum are several levels above her - as pointed out they're headlining the second stage at Latitude, the same level as a 2023 EOTR headliner, and they just sold out the 3,000 capacity Roundhouse.

    Neither were promoted as headliners, though. The point I was making earlier was that it's self-defeating to announce that you trust Lankum's size and live power enough to take that chance on elevating them to headliner level and then put them on the second stage.

    Lankum headlined supersonic 6 months ago

    On the subject of Lankum potentially headlining, I think to say "they should still play Garden" does the whole concept of making them headliner a disservice, because Simon's said before that he's keen on elevating artists to that level when at a critical and commercial height as Lankum (who he's been an openly big fan of for years) presently are, so to then essentially be told you're actually only good for the second stage surely defeats the purpose. They didn't push Angel Olsen as a headliner even though she was booked as one, and the one time they did it before Bill Callahan didn't get a great turnout.

    Lankum just perfect for the Garden

    That lankum and sleater Kinney way too small surely. No track on Spotify breaking a million plays between them. In contract to last year all the headliners had a t ekast one track with 100 million plays. It's night and day

    Sleater-Kinney headline the woods stage no problem

    Wednesday's dates line up better with Green Man, but if I was a betting man I'd say Decemberists, Sleater-Kinney, Big Thief and Lankum headline with Yo La Tengo as sub or Garden headliner.

    I would take that in a heartbeat. But in recent years I've tried not to get my hopes up concerning the headliners
