Thinking about the above and Arcade Fire...surely if Fleet Foxes can headline? I never thought about the money...I believed that bands played for the Kudos of being invited to perform at the most prestigious musical events of the year....isnt that why HRH and Jarvis were there? I imagined that they were the lucky ones and we were the chosen few :rolleyes:

Arcade Fire headlined Latitude though (25,000 capacity, their fee was probably £150K+), Funeral went Platinum in the UK (300,000 sales plus) and Neon Bible made No 2 in the album charts. Whole league or five above Fleet Foxes.

I agree that they should be more than happy to do it for the love :rolleyes: but then there's the danger of the festival being swamped by fans of one band.............I think in conclusion that it would be much better for them to play a secret set at the festival under a fake name.........maybe "The Canadians Not Known As Ben"????

Nice idea, but most people only know 'two' Canadians - Arcade Fire and ME! So I think it might be a bit of a giveaway!

Ben

(Cue multiple replies with 'well-known' Canadians..I'll start: k d lang!)

Gotta say, the lineup this year was incredibly strong - I could only allow myself one festival this year, and the lineup for EOTR was streets ahead of the others, even before the Hold Steady. Then all the bands that made me buy a ticket were great, and many of the ones I'd never heard of were brilliant.

The whole experience was so great I'll be there next year whoever they sign up (I trust their judgement), but if I had three small wishes....

- Blitzen Trapper back on one of the bigger stages.

- At least one old-school head-bobbing r'n'r band headlining - DBT or Lucero (new album today - buy it buy it buy it) would be perfect.

- Bob Log III in charge of everything, goddamnit.

Totally agree about British Sea Power. We need to see them again in a heaving sweaty big top tent around midnight. Did you hear them doing Johnathon Richman covers at three in the morning in the Tipi tent? I did, as they woke me from my sweet dreams which was a nice awakening!

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
