The second announcement said the bill was pretty full didn't it? 

[swashbubbler]

Only 74 bands announced so far. Usually 85-90 so hoping for quite s few more

[shoebox]

We've definitely still got the contest winners to be announced.

And following their announcement that the comedy line-up is coming this week, they Tweeted:

" For now, here's a reminder of our music cast as it stands, who's on your 'must-see' list?!"

I'm inclined to believe that Ezra Furman will be playing. I'm seeing him in Ramsgate on the Bank Holiday Monday, so he's over for a festival or two.

The Comedy Stage. Does anyone here bother or even care? I can't say I've ever made it down there, there's too much good music and real ale to check out.

[shoebox]

Nope, not for me. I went to Knightmare Live when it was on a couple of years ago and it was quite, quite brilliant. So I'll be trying to hit that up again. But it's after hours, once all the music (with the exception of late night Tipi sets) has stopped. During the day, I've rarely got time to think about anything other than the tunes.

That said, it's a pretty solid looking line-up this year, but I still don't think I'll make it down that way.

It's really nice atmospherewise and a great place to chill with a hangover. I enjoyed it when I went and will probably hit up again, it's just really pleasant to sit among the trees like that.

[paulwa]

A place to nurse a hangover... I like your thinking! I wasn't even aware that the comedy went on late into the evening, I had thought it stopped fairly early. I wonder if it's somewhere to go while the Woods Stage headliners are on, before the last Big Top gig of the night? I usually head for a hot cider and campfire then though.

Always try and get down to the comedy stage for Robin Ince and his book club on a saturday night...Also saw Tony Law the other year, who was quite amusing.

 

Who remembers this from the comedy stage late night last year....

Yep - must be a few more to be added yet. Hoping for at least one more biggish name  

[paulwa]

I've been checking out Jeffrey Lewis. His album "12 Crass Songs" was a major discovery. Crass were a band I loved as a youth and hearing their protest lyrics reworked into folk songs only made them seem yet more eloquent and powerful. Although it's one of his older albums, the fading anarcho-punk in me is hoping he plays something from it at EOTR.

I saw Jeffrey Lewis a few months ago and he did play at least one from the Crass Songs album.  You are definitely in for a treat if you go and see him.

That was superb last year.  It was so unexpected and the way she ambled down to the stage giggling, it looked as if it was going to be a disaster, but as you can see she pulled it superbly.

Probably a good chance of this, he's playing at Beautiful Days a couple of week before EOTR.

Oh yes

And considering how p***** she was she pulled it off [oh, don't] remarkably well I though

New acts being announced next Wednesday including one they've been trying to get for years.

[Nick07]

Jayhawks should play the Sunday as gap in schedule and in Bristol the night before 

Can't see them getting many bigger acts though 

[Nick07]

Some clue says SUPER excited and guesses welcome.

Super Furries be ideal for it but got a massive fee for playing Greenman so who knows.

Seems unlikely considering they will be at Festival Number Six and Electric Picnic for two of the festival's days. Would be an almost perfect act to put on before Animal Collective though! What are Superchuk up to these days? I can't think of any other SUPER bands that would fit End of the Road off the top of my head...

Thing is though the tweet says been trying to get them for ages, a quick look on past lineups on Wikipedia says SFA have played previously

Not a chance. Already headlining Latitude, which is much bigger. No way they'd sub at a smaller festival.

I also think that even if SFAs hadn't played before, they'd be headlining, so no chance of them.

No idea who it could be.
