Electric Picnic (the same weekend as EOTR) has announced it's line up... BECK is playing, making him seem evermore likely to headline EOTR.

John Wizards is also playing EP, so i reckon they could be at EOTR... they fit the bill quite nicely!

Also at EP is St Vincent who could be back to play just below one of the headliners? I know she headlined last year but that was with David Byrne - she's not as "big" a name as she is when she's with him.

Bands I think are realistically very likely to play:

Snowbird (the Bella Union bond means this is very likely. Stephanie Dosen has also played EOTR before)

Beck (seems like a no-brainer for the festival, especially given his more laid back new album. playing Thursday at Bestival as the smaller named headliner, and also playing Electric Picnic. Couple that with him being an SR on efestivals... i think we're onto something)

Kiran Leonard (pretty much 100% playing)

Mazes (their booking agent is friends with the EOTR lot. similar sound to Hookworms, also available for summer bookings)

Joanna Gruesome (seem to be playing everywhere, fit nicely on Big Top)

Thurston Moore (playing Moseley festival the same weekend alongside Richard Thompson. his more mellow work is very EOTR)

John Wizards (playing Electric Picnic, they have a unique world/electronica sound that always seems to appear at EOTR in some form)

Bands I think are less likely to play, but still possibilities:

Bill Callahan (he'll be in Europe at the time and he's a firm favourite of the EOTR crowd)

Owen Pallett (something tells me this will happen... maybe that's just because EOTR follow him on Twitter, haha!)

The New Pornographers (available for booking/looking to tour this summer in Europe. have played before, would definitely be welcomed back!)

The Pastels (available for booking this summer, perfect fit with EOTR)

I would say Beck is ever more UNLIKELY to be playing EOTR now, what with him already headlining Festival No.6 and Bestival. But I'll especially pleased if I'm wrong.

Bill Callahan is, I believe, a Green Man exclusive so won't be with us.

I'd be pleasantly surprised at St Vincent, purely on the fact that of headlining last year.

I agree with pretty much everything else you say though (although I don't know who John Wizards or Kiran Leonard are).

    • 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
