Stage Times/Timetable

[ElGanzo]

Thought I'd kickstart this thread. Was a bit bored and did some research on when they released stage times last year and it was on July 26th! I wonder will we get them as early this year?

I also noticed reading last year's thread that in June they put up the time slots on the site, without the names of the artists, which i had totally forgotten about but then remembered that it kept us entertained for a few weeks slotting in various artists into the different slots, getting outraged about nobody clashing with Joanna Newsom etc

The forum seems a lot quieter this year!

Yes it was quite entertaining last year, especially all the JN stuff

My tickets just arrived, no fridge magnet and I don't even feel excited.

The forum is definitely a lot quieter. There were all kinds of rumours flying around about the Thursday night this time last year (hence why I started the thread) but nothing of the sort this year.

For what it's worth Gravenhurst and Sweet Lights have both listed Sunday on their gig listings on their respective websites. Alt-J have Saturday down (Sunday they are in Italy).

So it looks like some bands do know the day they're playing, perhaps they already agreed this at the time they are booked? Whether they know the time slot they have I guess is another matter.

[ElGanzo]

A lot of the acts have the specific day they're playing up on their websites now.

It seems Jeffrey Lewis, Anna Calvi, Robyn Hitchcock and Islet are all playing on the Saturday.

Patrick Watson, Villagers, Willis Earl Beal, Woods, First Aid Kit, Justin Townes Earle, Yeti Lane and Graham Coxon on the Sunday.

So we pretty much know the days for all the acts in large font, bar The Antlers, Perfume Genius and William Elliott Whitmore. Split as follows:

Friday

Midlake

Beach House

Dirty Three

Van Dyke Parks

The Low Anthem

Roy Harper

John Grant

Jonathan Wilson

Saturday

Grizzly Bear

Tindersticks

Mark Lanegan

Alabama Shakes

Anna Calvi

Robyn Hitchcock

Jeffrey Lewis

Sunday

Grandaddy

Patti Smith

Graham Coxon

Villagers

Alabama Shakes

Willis Earl Beal

Patrick Watson

Woods

First Aid Kit

Justin Townes Earle

Think I've got that right anyway!

Thanks for doing that, great. You've got Alabama Shakes playing twice, is that right?

yeah I remember that being said about Alabama Shakes. I think when they were announced no-one had any idea how big they would be by the end of the summer. Maybe late in the big top and afternoon on the woods? I don't care for them anyway so not fussed.

I don't even feel excited.

ElGanzo, thanks for that list. Laid out like that I'd say it's a mighty fine bill of entertainments. For me, plenty of interest on each day, although the acts on Friday do seem awfully familiar and Sunday is perhaps a little lighter.

It has better be warm and sunny for Jonathan Wilson!

[riverlodge]

thanks Elganzo, that list on its own is enough to start making it come alive.

noticed that Antlers have 1st September down on their tour dates (rather oddly sandwiched between 2 days at electric picnic)

[Neville Street]

Halvin has done the job the last couple of years, patience and I am sure he will work his magic! http:///

yay!

"Surprise Slot" eh? Let the guesswork begin.

That Saturday on the Woods stage looks really slight. Only five artists on for the whole day?

I guess I could start plugging this into a clash guide based on last year's times.

[Infinite Jest]

So many clashes!

A few interesting points as well - "surprise slot" in the Big Top (I'm going to go with Brakes, anyone got any other thoughts?).

Only five bands playing Woods on Saturday; room for a smaller band to play as a late announcement?

[edit: damn you Shoebox!]

Robyn Hitchcock playing the Tipi; that should be a great intimate set.

[DragKnuckles]

Can't find Father John Misty or Olympians...unless my aging eyes are letting me down..again...

[DragKnuckles]

Um...The Antlers are also missing...

[ElGanzo]

Bet the surprise slot is Brakes for their traditional Sunday night Big Top headliner! Friday evening there is so much I want to see, gonna be clash central!

Think they're missing The Antlers from Saturday, hence why there is only five. Presumably just a mistake as they recently announced their tour dates including the Saturday for EoTR.

No major clashes for me between Woods and Garden headliners thankfully, will miss out on Mark Lanegan, Midlake and Villagers but not too bothered by that..

[ElGanzo]

Robyn Hitchcock will be great in the Tipi but it will be so crowded! Disappointing he'll clash with Grizzly Bear too...

[shoebox]

Weren't Alabama Shakes meant to be playing twice?

[DragKnuckles]

[shoebox]

If the times are roughly similar to last year, I'm looking at nasty clashes between:

The Acorn and Hannah Cohen

John Grant and Lanterns On The Lake

Deep Dark Woods and Alt-J

Woods, First Aid Kit, Dirty Beaches AND Delicate Steve!

[DragKnuckles]

Clash = Deep Dark Woods and Alt-J

Oh No...these were two of my must sees...let's hope the timings are "attendee friendly" for these slots
