eagles69 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I agree King Charles is dreadful tried desperately to listen to his album on spotify. God knows what they were thinking but some gr8 additions love Alt-Jand Patrick Watson and all the rest are sounding good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timberford Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) I saw Patrick Watson perform an acoustic version of "To build a home" at the Royal Albert Hall and it was truly incredible. I highly recommend a listen to it on Spotify. It's long but stick with it for the climax... The Cinematic Orchestra – To Build A Home I actually thought Woods were great last year, but then I'm a big fan anyway. Alt-J is the only other addition I've heard of, been really enjoying their album. Looking forward to having a listen through the other bands, sure there will be some gems as always.

baroquepop Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Very happy to see Patrick Watson. Actually one of my favourite singer/bands, definitely in the baroque pop realm, not afraid to be a little different. A very solid addition to the bill. Hope he gets a good slot. (The rest will require more spotification). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElGanzo Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Thanks for the Patrick Watson recommendations, really enjoyed the tracks mentioned and been listening to his newest album and really enjoying that, looks a great addition, I imagine he's too well-known for Tipi tent so hopefully will be on the Garden Stage.

riverlodge Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 got to say i do like what i have heard of ALT-J, and really pleased to see that Hurray FTRR are coming over - got into young blood blues over a year ago and cant believe they dont get the same press as (say) cold specks or even alabama shakes. the girl really has stories to tell.

MaxMaz Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Thinking about going this year, do we think there are many more bands to be announced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liarliar Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 This "King Charles"...it is Sacha Baron Cohen's latest gag right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swashbubbler Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hoping the special guest would be Roddy Frame, was thinking more likely Calexico, but now thinking could well be Elizabeth Fraser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfectpassion Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I was thinking Calexico, but they have a one-off London gig on the 17th Sept, so unless they are doing EoTR then europe and then coming back seems unlikely. What about Animal Collective? They have a new album launching about 10th Sept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinite Jest Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hmm, Calexico do seem to be going back and forth (they're on the continent in mid-september, then London, then back to Germany). But they don't have anything before 14 September, so they seem like a long shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acstalker Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Nick Cave? Finally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acstalker Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 If ticket sales are slower this year it would make sense for them to announce a higher profile name to ensure the sellout even if they have to stretch beyond the normal budget. Flips would fit the bill, as would Cave. Patti Smith or Calexico wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furrbags Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 As far as I'm concerned the line-up is already superb. Great mix of familiar old sounds and plenty of new stuff to discover. Have EOTR to thank for Lanterns on the Lake and Midlake entering my life last year. Hope I would be forgiven for banging on about Django Django but they would be the perfect act to lift the woods stage ahead of Coxon. Are the lads otherwised engaged. I'll happily go all out as one-man marketing machine if that happened. The world needs to Hail Bop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinite Jest Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Very weird though that the EotR announcements of Coxon playing, and of a special announcement to come on 2 Jul, and Blur's announcement of an announcement to come on 2 Jul, were all within an hour of each other. That's how conspiracy theories start... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljsawyer Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Don't Bella Union still have a couple more bands to come? At the moment it'd be a split of 26/30/30 bands each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoebox Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Bella Union definitely told me that they had 2 more acts to announce. One was confirmed to them (at the time) and one wasn't. Whether that's now changed, I don't know, but that's what I was originally told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talulah Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yes, I agree the line up is already superb and I'm already worrying about clashes! I'm just wondering if the term 'very special guest' is significant? Not 'headliner' or 'band'. Could this be someone appearing as a guest with one of the other bands/artists already announced ... just a thought ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRockRick Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 So looks like Blur's big event on 2 July is them playing new songs on a rooftop in London. Just a coincidence with the EoTR announcement.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
