No, was just thinking that if she is touring next year, then perhaps she may do EOTR too. She's been on a lot of people's wish lists for a long time.

Ooh, it would be very welcome! She's local to the festival too (if that makes a bit of difference).

And hopefully she would bring her guitar and not her piano :-)

So, End of the Road tweeted and put on Facebook a link to the new LCD Soundystem -  'Christmas Will Break Your Heart.' Is it too optimistic to hope that is a very blatant coup for one of their headliners? Would be an absolutley massive coup considering it looks as if they are headlining Coachella and Primavera if this reunion malarkey comes about. Couldn't think of a better sub for them than John Grant either.

not impossible, but i'd say unlikely considering (especially with it being a reunion) how much bigger they are than previous headliners. no other previous headliners could've headlined Coachella, that's for sure. think Sigur Ros come closest to matching their size

John Grant is very much EOTR Woods Stage headliner size now as well. Can't see him subbing anyone now.

I would love LCD, but really cannot see it happening.

That's what I would have thought until I saw he wasn't headlining Field Day. Second from top there would put him the same size as previous subs Django Django, Patti Smith and The Horrors. I do agree headlining is not out the question. Would make a lot of sense.

I sadly agree no matter how much I would love it. Then again, I was always under the impression LCD Soundsystem were notably bigger in the states? Could easily see past Coachella headliners - which are smaller in the UK - such as Phoenix comfortably headlining EotR. Even so, if they are being mooted as Glastonbury Other Stage headliners, I'd say that places them in the same bracket as the Flaming Lips and Sigur Ros? Maybe. Almost definitely clutching at straws here.

I don't think they'll play given there will be more money and exposure on offer at the rumoured Glastonbury and two London gigs but I reckon Sigur Ros are still a bigger deal over here than LCD Soundsystem.

True enough, but there's also a demographic question. Probably not "hipster" enough to headline Field Day, more suited to headlining for an EOTR crowd? Also PJ Harvey being something more of a coup, would mean she could be nothing other than headliner? I dunno. I just think playing Hammersmith pushed him into that headliner category.

With regards to LCD, do not read too much into EOTR sharing their Christmas song. Pretty much everyone with any connection or interest in music shared that song. I really can't see them playing, but would love to be proved wrong.

Hmm, all these are fair points. I suppose we should hopefully expect a first announcement not too far away! In the meanwhile I'll clutch on to all the straws for the bands I expect as I can  

[shoebox]

Yeah, has been around the first week of Feb for the past couple of years, so not long to go now. Can't wait!

[Whiteyak1]

Gillian and Dave, Lucinda, Ani diFranco, Beck (not Jeff) Kurt Vile.

Thinking of bands with something to promote, Animal Collective have a new album out soon. Deerhunter have a new album out. Would love to see Battles and PJ Harvey too.

Oh, and Radiohead have a new album out soon too...

[lamstonite]

Anyway, only two weeks to go till the announcement according to faceache

animal collective , deerhunter. yes please. i have always thought battles would be perfect for eotr. 

[shoebox]

Big fan of Yeasayer here, and they've got a new one due. Stick them on my wishlist, along with all the aforementioned (except Radiohead)

[molasses]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Slowdive yet as a headliner. They'd be absolutely glorious on the Woods stage. Or maybe Minor Victories (the Slowdive/Mogwai/Editors supergroup that have an album coming out in 2016).

Other's I'd love: The Twilight Sad, Ezra Furman, Merucry Rev, Deerhunter, Dilly Dally, The National

Field Day are claiming a 2016 exclusive so guess it won't be Polly...

Good point well made. Since - against my better judgement - I'm going to FD and seeing PJH and John Grant, I'd rather EotR had someone else!

Just seen Tortoise have a new album coming out. They would be amazing to see.

Would love Floating Points too, but not sure if he fits in with eotr sounds

great calls . would be very happy with either of them . both of them even better

really cannot think of anywhere better to see Polly than EOTR.

I don't Primavera tells us anything other than certain bands/artists are playing live this year that we might have forgotten about. I'll be very surprised if Peej plays anywhere other than Field Day in the UK. Reckon that's probably an exclusive.

[lamstonite]

It's a wicked line up though

Lots of bands that would be excellent at eotr
