I love BSP, really do. But a Woods headline slot would not constitute a "doozy" for me. They have played many times and I cannot see that their stock has risen to headliner status, not for a festival of EOTR's size anyway. They are also playing lower down the bill on many other festivals this summer, most of which I would consider to be smaller and/or less prestigious. 

so true. BSP not a woods headliner.

Surely won't be BSP - they were second down on the Garden Stage back in 2014 and their popularity has not increased in the slightest since then. I also can't find this clue anywhere?

maybe in the Big Top? New album out at the end of the month

Facebook commentary is suggesting Lambchop (pic of Millhouse/Millhouse Nixon/Nixon etc) but they're at GM so would be surprised if there was a duplicate. Other comments grasping at Simpsons associations as well 

Can't see BSP being big enough, but BPB.... now that would be a dream...

Nick Cave would be a coup too but unlikely :(

Connecting Lambchop to a picture of Milhouse is one of the biggest stretches going. Ridiculous suggestion. Might as well say "Well, Milhouse is quite young. So it must be Neil Young!"

I will be VERY surprised if EOTR share any of the bigger names on the Greenman line-up. I'm not expecting to see any of the first 5 rows of Greenman's line-up page at EOTR.

I'm hoping for someone a bit surprising (in a good way).  While I'm sure FJM will be an excellent headliner, he wasn't a surprise at all.  And the organisers seem pretty confident we're going to be impressed, so maybe someone considered way too big for a festival of this size, or an act that doesn't usually play festivals, or an act that's split but getting back together...

Or maybe Simon has finally persuaded Tom Waits.

I thought Band of Horses where headlining?  certainly bigger than MDM

 

just ordered my tickets 

 
 

Nope BOH aren't headlining. In the video MDM and FJM were the only 2 referred as headliners, this was later confirmed on twitter. 

 

The MDM headliner slot seems to be partially banking on the new album being a hit, but he sold out 2 nights at the Brixton Accademy and the crowd he pulled when he was  on the garden stage was insane so he has a huge following among the EOTR crowd. I'd say he's currently a hotter property than BOH for sure.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
