Belle & Sebastian

[Hotcider]

So they are going back into the studio and have announced festival dates in July. Any chance they could be one of the headliners ? Would be great I think.

So all we need is Belle & Sebastian, Teenage Fanclub, The National, Dinosaur Jr & Son Volt and all will be sorted. Not asking too much is it

[SweepingTheNation]

They're being rumoured for all sorts of festivals, Latitude the most common, Indietracks the most pleasing. Apparently they're announcing "a" date next week.

Yeah, I'd heard the Latitude rumour as well. I would love them at EotR though. Been a fan right from the start and think they'd be perfect.

[MattL80]

I would love it if they headlined. Maybe Isobel campbell would like to join up with them (Am I right in thinking she is no longer a member?), and perhaps she would like to bring Mr Lanegan along with her.

[SweepingTheNation]

There's more chance of Slayer headlining the garden stage than Isobel Campbell ever rejoining B&S.

[Elfy]

Woohoo, Slayer for the Garden Stage

[MattL80]

Lets start the rumour; Slayer to headline saturday night.

I would be more than happy.

Think the festival they're referring to in July might be Summer Sundae....

[seantizz]

Which is of course in August!!!!

I am very pleased that I am already seeing The National and Grizzly Bear this year. The disappointment of them now being incredibly unlikely for EotR is lessened somewhat.

Gutted about B&S though, they would have been great for EotR. Hopefully they'll play some headline shows in the capital.

[Hotcider]

Ummmmmmmm, very disappointing that it looks like none of these will be at EOTR.

So besides Wilco who do we think would be good headliners ?

[geofelgie]

Well off the top of my head:

My Morning Jacket

Decemberists

Turin Brakes

Sufjan Stevens

Jayhawks

Bright Eyes

Polyphonic spree

Jonsi

The Waterboys

The Gaslight Anthem

Broken Social Scene

Tori Amos

The Dears

Talk Talk

or Tom Waits, at a pinch y'know

[stephenm]

For the Big Top stage I'd say White Denim would be perfect to headline one of the nights, given that 'Fits' was the album of the year last year (an no other festival seems to have them yet)...

[wolfamongwolves]

broken social scene

panda bear

sufjan stevens

band of horses

monsters of folk

tortoise

[Kilian]

Band Of Horses - that would be perfect!
