Any recommendations from lower down the order that should not be missed from you guys in the know? I know maybe half the artists. 

To get some serious groove on, check out Amadou & Mariam and Vaudou Game

Nick Cave would surely be announced immediately 

No way he's playing 

I know, I was being cheeky.

LETS EAT GRANDMA and GIRL RAY

both 10/10

Cheers. I think I remember seeing LEG on Jools and they were nothing if not interesting! I'll investigate both further.

Always the best thing about EOTR for me - so many of my now fave artists bands have not known a thing about until seeing them low down the bill.

Agreed. Many I've overlooked over the years too though who I've later loved so any advice helps.

Chuffed. 

Band of horses, real estate, j+mc and deerhoof particularly exciting me.

Definitely - I only picked up the Whitney album late September after lots on here had said how good they were. And that album ended up being my fave of last year.

Lemon Twigs...expect an Ezra moment

[AndyfromBrackley]

Just need to sort my Goat Girl from my Girl Band and Girl Ray!

Saw Goat Girl recently supporting Lemon Twigs. Would be better suited with J&MC, nearly on point of collapse, and will need a bit more stage presence for a festival stage. But EOTR will be 9 months down the line for them; and look at The Big Moon rising up the festival running orders this year. 

"Big Moon rising"...i quite like that!

very happy with this. Lots that I was expecting in Father John Misty, Car Seat Headrest, Parquet Courts, Ty Segall and Real Estate. Also some nice surprises too in Julia Jacklin, Gold Panda, Bill Ryder Jones, Romare and Julie Byrne

[5co77ie]

nice line-up - strong undercard - looks like another EOTR with a host of clashes, plenty of new stuff to have a listen to.

Is the official spotify playlist up and running yet?

Not yet, no.

Looks good, although there are many artists I don't know. Who would you recommend exploring to someone who likes the likes of Joanna Newsom, Sufjan, Grizzly Bear, Fionna Apple, FJM, Dirty Projectors, Julia Holter, Laura Marling..?

Julie byrnes new album is really good, my fav this year.

[JBarbour]

Always like the look of this festival's line up. But it's a drive and a half for me.

Whats the atmosphere generally like? Ages?

Much evening/late stuff going on?

Flicked through some of the gallery images on the site. With all the chairs reminds me of the back of the Pyramid stage. Attract that sort of crowd?

Thanks.

There's nobody that similar to all those I think but you may like Ryley Walker and Real Estate.

if you like Julia Holter and Laura Marling then check out Julie Byrne and Julia Jacklin

you've got similar taste to me so also give Bill Ryder Jones and Real Estate a listen. Also there's Parquet Courts if you fancy something a bit more punky and Ty Segall for garage/psych rock.

I just noticed they've said on their Twitter feed that there'll be no Thursday headliner this year, and the Woods Stage won't open until Friday.  Seems odd - quite enjoyed the 'bigger' Thursday night last year.

It did sort of feel like they had an opportunity to get the shins and ran with it. I sort of missed the quieter Thursday of watching small bands and sitting round the campfire with a nice gin though I must admit.

[Tilted]

Big surprise having Lucinda Williams on, looking forward to her 

Was convinced I'd saw FJM at EOTR before, mate reminded me we technically had as he played a solo set as J. Tillman the year Fleet Foxes headlined

I remember seeing FJM play before Fleet Foxes at Sheps Bush in I guess 2008 (as J Tilma obv) and he moaned all throughout it that people were chatting.
