Circled the acts I really want to see - and I have 12 per day! Nicely balanced - though that doesn't include Antlers or Doug Paisley of course..........and I've left off Low Anthem, dirty three and Midlake cos I've either seen them recently or a lot.......oh hang on I've just noticed I've missed a few on the Tipi.........this is going to be great! :sarcastic:

I've just seen Savages on their recent tour and will definitely not be missing them. Some Crocodiles/Heaven Up Here era Bunnymen with an androgonous Siouxsie/Ian Curtis on vocals. Not sure how they'll go down playing a dark music very early in the day on a bill where they seem to stick out like a bit of a sore thumb.

Bands I'm looking forward to who I hadn't heard until I started exploring the line up include Cold Specks, I Break Horses and Lanterns On the Lake.

Really looking forward to going to this festival for the first time.

hello pop pickers!

almost too much to checkout...will def try and see.....

Richard Buckner - quite beautiful voice / acoustic set-up, strong songs.

Delicate Steve - genius!

Driver Drive Faster - 'Its All Over Its Everywhere' could be one of the best songs you'll hear all festival

The Deep Dark Woods - astonishingly good. future events will see these guys higher up the bill, fo' sure.

Zun Zun Egui - have a dance! not many opportunities to throw shapes otherwise...:)

William Elliot Whitmore - the atmosphere he generates will be spell-binding...I hope!

Hannah Coen - new to me, but a lovely voice..intrigued

Robert Ellis - see Richard Buckner!

Our Broken Garden - a little unlike the rest of the bill, and will definitely see what they offer.

cant. wait.

Mountain Man, they were amazing at Union Chapel in 2010 but then didn't turn up on time for Green Man and pulled out last year from EoTR...will be interesting to see what they are up to now. Three girls with beautiful voices.

Hurray for the Riff Raff, have been listening to a promo which contains some tracks from both their cds, described as "quiet, creepy hushed, haunting and messy" Its a sound which gets under your skin, and for those that need their fix BANJO'S. Meet Me In The Morning.

Big Wave, Devon's next big thing? Probably not, but only found one track out there. Nice enough twee indie from a band that has played The Jolly Farmer and supported Metronomy at their Torquay gig. Not much info and only 245 likes on fb???

Eagle and The Worm, an 8 piece from Melbourne coming all the way to UK to play in the tipi at EoTR, don't seem to have any other gigs on....now thats dedication. First thoughts they might be fun, if there is nothing else on.

here is a playlist if anyone is interested. Has most of the bands, there are a couple missing that I don't get on with/aren't on spotify but its mostly there.

EOTR 2012

Saw Still Corners, Lanterns on the Lake, Savages, 2:54, Outfit and Veronica Falls last weekend. All worth a look, still think Lanterns on the Lake would be better off on one of the outside stages, but nevermind.

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
