DragKnuckles Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I am not one for getting overly upset about clashes as I understand the impossibility of running a festival without such occurences (and at EOTR it is very easy to get from stage A to stage B of course) but I thought it would be interesting (anyway) to see which bands people are hoping do not clash with one another (limited to 5 per day). Mine are as follows: Friday: Best day for me...any clashup betwixt... The Tallest Man on Earth vs The Low Anthem vs Shearwater or Loney, Dear or The Leisure Society vs Spokes Saturday:...any clashup between Dent May or Malcolm Middleton vs The Acorn or Fleet Foxes vs First Aid Kit Sunday:...any clashup between William Elliott Whitmore or The Dodos or Richmond Fontaine vs Tiny Vipers vs The Hold Steady Oh how I love all this buildup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoebox Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Saturday's a bad one for me I reckon. I want to see everyone on the Garden Stage, with the exception of Darren Hayman, but you've got Malcolm Middleton, Stardeath & White Dwarfs, The Horrors and Peter Broderick spread across other stages. Could get very messy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofelgie Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 There aren't that many acts I don't want to see - so I am resigned to clashes.....I have three big "hopes" though; (i) Mumford and Sons and The Mummers not to clash. (ii) I realise that The Horrors will clash, at least partly, with Fleet Foxes/Okkervil River but am hoping that Malcolm Middleton doesn't as well (or with The Acorn or First Aid kit or Blitzen Trapper or Stardeath and White Dwarves.................hmmmmmmm.....see the problem?) (iii) Dan Michaelson and the Coastguards not to clash with Hold Steady, Steve Earle or Magnolia Electric Co. ps can I buy a 2010 presale ticket yet?

DragKnuckles Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 ...it then becomes: Vetiver vs The Low Anthem vs Shearwater or Loney, Dear or The Leisure Society vs Spokes Friday still AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfy Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Must sees are..... Fri - The Week That Was, Shearwater, The Low Anthem and EITS. At a pinch, could miss The Low Anthem having seen them very close up at Glastonbury...... have also seen Shearwater already this year but really don't want to miss them!!!! Also keen to see (if poss) Loney, Dear and Spokes..... oh, and maybe The Duke and the King and Vetiver........ Sat - Oh dear Fleet Foxes, Okkervil River, The Acorn, Efterklang, Broken Family Band, The Horrors, Blitzen Trapper, J. Tillman, Dent May, The Leisure Society, Peter Broderick, Malcolm Middleton - maybe I should clone myself? Sun - Hold Steady, Archie Bronson Outfit, Richmond Fontaine, Dan Sartain, The Dodos, Joe Gideon and the Shark. Maybe Dan Michaelson. Not too bad When are we going to find time to wander through the woods, see people on the piano stage, lie on the peacock lawn playing Scrabble? Oh, and see some comedy..... and play Ringo. And sleep. And eat. Eeeeeeeek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfy Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 PS any not included on there doesn't mean I wouldn't love to see them...... just that I haven't discovered them yet - We only discovered the Young Republic, Low, Shearwater and The Acorn *after* missing them at EOTR last year!!! - at least we've seen both The Acorn and Shearwater this year, supporting Elbow and Beirut respectively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sipperana Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 It's no good. They're just going to have to repeat the whole festival the following weekend so we can see everything we missed first time round. I'm sure Sofia wouldn't mind..

Elfy Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 NOOOOO! Please don't tell me I'm going to have to CHOOSE between Leisure Society and Spokes...two of my absolute MUST SEES? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljsawyer Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 FRIDAY I want to see Explosions In The Sky Get The Blessing Vetiver The Mummers The Week That Was Loney, Dear Could cause some problems with a lot of the Local Stage bands clashing with the top 3 on the Garden Stage, though I'd probably chosoe The Week That Was/Get The Blessing over Loney, Dear (but not EITS). Herman Dune I'd like to see as well but they aren't a huge priority. SATURDAY Fleet Foxes Okkervil River Broken Family Band Efterklang The Horrors The Boy Least Likely To The Heavy Howlin' Rain The Leisure Society Malcolm Middleton The Travelling Band Zun Zun Egui Oh dear... not even going to try and analyze the clashes I'll have here, so I'll just go with the flow and see what I can fit in. Howlin' Rain and Malcolm are must-sees though and I'm not missing them for anyone. SUNDAY Neko Case Archie Bronson Outfit Richmond Fontaine Bob Lind Brakes Dan Michaelson & The Coastguards The Dodos Soy Un Caballo William Elliott Whitmore Looking a bit better than Saturday with regards to clashes, but I can still see myself having problems. Bob Lind is apparently playing at 2pm on the Garden Stage, and I hope that The Dodos, Whitmore, Soy Un Caballo etc. will follow suite by playing early so I can see all of them. Richmond Fontaine are my must see of the festival so if they clash with anyone I like, I'll just have to miss out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexx Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Excellent...good spot Alexx...my mistake...and that is good news for me as Friday was a biggie...has his day changed or am I just an idiot...the latter probably...thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyhana22 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Sorry Ben...maybe my post was confusing...I simply meant: Big Top (Vetiver) vs Bimble Inn (The Low Anthem) vs Garden (Shearwater/Loney, Dear/The Leisure Society) vs The Local (Spokes) Fingers crossed I can see them all (?!)

bullybass Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 What I love about this festy is the journey of discovery of new music (or at least to these ears). However, I hope to see Shearwater, The Acorn, Wildbirds & Peacedrums, The Hold Steady and Fleet Foxes without any clashes - but what are the chances? Thanks to the sampler CD (great idea) sent with ticket I am also hoping to catch Mumford & Sons. Here's hoping for some Sun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote Didn't get a CD with my, recently arrived, tickets We're just going with the flow. Until I ordered the tickets I hadn't heard of half of the artists (been researching !!) but they all sound pretty listenable to me. Cant wait to come to our very first festival.
