announcement tomorrow

[andyblack]

possibly not doves either, since they're playing demont hall on april 29th?

[little car]

I wonder if Yo La Tengo might be among the announcements...or King Creosote returning?

I wouldn't rule out James simply because they're playing DMH later in the year. Would struggle to be as good as they were at DMH in 1985 though.

The Bunnymen don't seem to be busy in August.

Please god no - the worst festival band I've had the mispleasure of witnessing on 3 separate festival occassions.

Just play Killing Moon and feck off.

By the way, just noticed that the highlights from Adam & Joe's Summer Sundae 2008 show are on 6 Music tonight at midnight and available as a podcast afterwards.

As its been said before this very nearly didn't happen. I'm just greatful i get the chance to go again, there's plenty of bits to keep everyone occupied and happy for the weekend.

At the time the lineups never really look that outstanding but couple of months later they look blinding. There's loads of bands here i have no idea about and i'm pretty excited to find out who they are and if i like them.

i'd have been gutted if knew all the bands playing because festivals are about seeing some bands you know but the best memories are seeing bands you never knew existed. to steal from leicester city

keep the faith

[ceph]

Would like to see The Besnard Lakes. Otherwise underwhelmed. Sorry. When do we get a day by day listing?

[butchwade]

Stornoway

[Ruthd84]

Well I'm a tad gutted there's not a nifty DJ announcement like Yoda or Mr Scruff for the Friday, but overall, i'm really looking forward to the festival. I'll defo be heading off to Roots Manuva!

There's been enough times when I've not known bands at a festival (take Great Escape in Brighton), have popped along and I've come away thinking those have been the highlights. That's where the gems come from.

I'll be purchasing my ticket as soon as Mr Bank allows.

Seasick Steve - awesome!

[Joe-]

AWESOME I've always wanted to see Seasick Steve!

I was hoping there were a few more bands I knew but ah well theres time to listen

Anymore acts or is that it?

+ Is the saturday headliner (indoor and outdoor) already announced? Wonder who they'll be

yo la tengo have already been announced as a uk festival exclusive for end of the road.

i saw the crookes at the indietracks warm up party at firebug last year (promoted by our brilliant leicester promoter friends twesta) and they were very good indeed.

and gaggle will frankly be ace. they're the one band im most excited to see this summer.

[ceph]

just seen caribou are playing quality! thats made me a happy boy

[seantizz]

I think it's an excellent announcement... Seasick Steve was brilliant a few years ago - a real highlight - and I can absolutely see that working on the mainstage.... having said that Roots Manuva will also be terrific inside...

For me the key annoucements here though are Caribou (who I've never seen but really wanted to at Glastonbury a few years ago - check them out - they are ace) and Slow Club... (great songwriting)....

After a slow start in terms of announcement, it's now shaping up to be one of the best ever... still not sure if I'll be going but credit to the organisers for putting this line up together.

indeed some excellent additions. seasick steve will be brilliant way to close the friday.

[sven mk 2]

Steve Mason, Caribou, Summer Camp, Besnard Lakes and Slow Club excellent keep up the good work!

[Ruthd84]

More than a bit excited about Caribou now after hearing their new album today. Bit of a gem of a booking if you ask me - they've had glowing reviews.
