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.

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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

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.

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...

The National? 

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.

    • 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
