Mdou Moctar and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith out and Shopping, Hater, Daniel Blumberg and Amyl and The Sniffers in.

The Orielles have been move up the bill to replace KAS and now look like clashing with Big Thief unfortunately.

 

I like Orielles A LOT (ask Born In The Fifties, they were good at GM last year and in gig end last year) but they underwhelmed at Latitude on a stage that should have been 'them'. Easy choice to go Big Thief on a perfect, perfect stage for Ms Lenker.

my current plan:

friday - Penelope Isles > Hiss Golden Messenger > This Is The Kit > Warmduscher > Big Thief/Fat White Family > St Vincent > Protomartyr (reckon this will be set of the weekend).

saturday - Insecure Men > Duds > Flat Worms/Omar Souleyman > Shame > Mulatu Astatke > Hookworms > Oh Sees > James Holden & The Animal Sprits

sunday - Richard Dawson > Amen Dunes > Cut Worms > Julia Holter > IDLES > White Denim > Ariel Pink (altho he was shite at Primavera so may just boy it off and go to the tipi)

 

Warmduscher are playing a late slot, probably clashing with Protomartyr

Why does nobody have Feist in their plans? Are you people quite well?

I dunno man she's got some nice songs but I'm not really convinced it's a show I need to see. Same as last year neither neither of the Sunday headliners are massively exciting to me, which is a shame. I guess I do need to listen to them both more. Ariel Pink after should be good at least.

(and to be fair, Sunday has the mother all sub+3rd runs going for it)

So here's a question - is there any way to keep track of who's going to play on the piano stage? Does it get tweeted out in advance anywhere or is it literally just a matter of being lucky enough to be there when they show up? Got lucky enough to stumble into the Real Estate set last year but I'd be devastated to miss it if Titus Andronicus or Ezra Furman showed up there.

Follow the Line of Best Fit Twitter feed is usually a good start. Think they're usually responsible for arranging all the secret sets around the site

[shoebox]

Chances of Jarvis rocking up to join Feist for Century? I hope so. He's been part of the festival on the past. Also Bas Jan playing and Serafina Steer is part of his band at the moment. Fingers crossed for a secret set!

Cheers, will do. Got no signal most of the weekend last time round but fingers crossed I'll get luckier this time.

Seems to have been confirmed now that Titus Andronicus' set will be the "acoustic" version.

One of my old time favourite bands, but not sure that will translate well to outdoors

[wolfamongwolves]

The last Titus album was pretty awful . Agree not sure how the acoustic will translate to the outdoors 

[SweepingTheNation]

Stage times are early this year: https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/news/latest-news/end-of-the-road-2018-stage-times-revealed

EOTR just tweeted there's going to be a pullout version in the programme too.

[Sean1234321]

That is amazing, I wasn't expecting them for another two weeks!

[SweepingTheNation]

Not a great deal of changes apart from Tipi Friday, but Clashfinder has been updated: https://clashfinder.com/s/eotr2018/

[The Nal]

Theres a shitload of clashes in there, the bastards.

Excellent. I need a clashfinder to work on beforehand while resting in the toilet.

Not too bad for me. What's giving you palpatations, mate? Only 2 that are really upsetting me, Ezra Furman vs John Cale and Jeff Tweedy vs St Vincent. Everything else is not too bad, and I can live with. One of the great advantages of Larmer Tree Gardens is the ability to cach half a set, then move on to another. No Glastonbury style trudging for 40 minutes from Park to Acoustc or whatever.

Yeah having gone through the clashfinder its not as bad as I originally thought. A couple I can do a 50/50 on if needs be.

And I of course was thinking Glasto walking times! This time I may use that extra time to stop for a beer.

I kind of feel like there must been some oversight from the bookers putting them on that stage, it's really not going to be ideal for the acoustic show. As resident superfan I'll be on the barrier singing my heart out for them and Ezra anyway but definitely feel some of the crowd will be disappointed.

One of my favourite things to do is go nuts to Titus and sing every word, but will feel a bit weird at an acoustic show

[paulwa]

I predict that the highlight of the weekend is going to be Big Thief on the Garden Stage setting.

[Mardy]

I'm fretting that Richard Dawson (who I love deeply) isn't right for a sunny (yes, sunny) Sunday lunchtime on the Garden stage. Has anyone seen him 1) outside and 2) during the day and can you put my mind at rest?
