[William of Walworth]

Yay!

[Elfy]

Howsabout The Divine Comedy?

Or The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain?

Oh, and don't forget Half Man Half Biscuit

I second The Divine Comedy. And Eels would make a great headline band.

[William of Walworth]

Here's something a bit leftfield -- Michelle Shocked.

I saw her at Rhythm Festival, and she was fresh and full of life, the old classics came over really well.

Was listening to Short Sharp Shocked this morning as well, and additionally to having an amazing voice and some great songs, she's a pretty damned good guitarist -- she's been in National Picking Championships in the U.S. and everything.

Oh well, if you're happy to have musicians acting like complete twats and being utterly braindead, coked up and offensive to boot then fine ...

(Conor Oberst, not Low -- the Low guy sounds like he had genuine problems).

No worries man, I like your Hayseed Dixie and Ukranians ideas, seen em both before several times and they're

Both still keeping on and both on the circuit at times

[DragKnuckles]

...also try to get My Brightest Diamond back in '09. Just listening to her new album for the first time and it is great...early to mid on the Garden stage I reckon (enough material now)...we could all rock out, sway blissfully and be strangely scared all at the same time! Awesome

[Lauz_Abbott]

ooooo divine comedy and barenaked ladies sound good!!!

[domjon]

Can we have Ballboy please....

[cogstar]

Ok I know its a bit old hat and even populist but I would love to see the waterboys play EOTR main stage. I think they would fall in love with the place and it would fall in love with them.

[Sipperana]

Having seen her very briefly on the piano stage, I'd like to see Liz Green come back next year.

Also...

Band Of Horses

Field Music

Aidan Smith

Phil Campbell

Babel

Fields

[Sipperana]

Ok, so I discover that Field Music are in suspension while they concentrate on the The Week That Was project...

And is that the only time that you can use two consecutive the's without referring to Matt Johnson?

[Hotcider]

Can I also add Teenage Fanclub ,Evan Dando solo, Lemon Heads, Gruff Rhys

The Waterboys have played at The Larmer Tree Festival in the past so should remember what a lovely setting Larmer Tree is for both the Larmer Tree and End of the Road Festivals.

-----------------------------------------------

...agreed, they've 'been there, done it, got the t-shirt'

Nice 'dig' at the promotion industry Pete - surely, we're not seeing a 'nasty' side of you - Olgrumpyfy beware!!!!!!!!

[SweepingTheNation]

Steve Lamacq on Radio 2 in a roundabout way gave us the first name for this year, which they've confirmed themselves - the band he calls potentially this year's Fleet Foxes, The Low Anthem.
