At some stage - maybe not in 2018 - I do think that EOTR will have the three Woods stage headliners as female-fronted acts.

Last year was very blokey by their standards, so I'd expect there to be a reaction to that this year.

They are very good generally on that: its normally 50/50 across all stages

[shoebox]

I think EOTR have always had a very strong female presence, and I think you're right. 

But going back on what I just said with regards to "mass appeal not being as important as simply the right artists", I guess everything would have to align to get three female headliners touring and with material to promote ready at the same time. That's more of a comment on the industry though, as opposed to a slight against EOTR's booking policy.

I mean, of EOTR type acts, who would be feasible headliners right now?

• Angel Olsen
• Courtney Barnett
• Sharon Van Etten
• Bjork
• PJ Harvey
• Joanna Newsom
• Yeah Yeah Yeahs
• St Vincent
• Sleater Kinney
• Laura Marling
• First Aid Kit

I was thinking about that earlier, something like First Aid Kit, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and St Vincent.

I agree i could definitely see them making a statement like that at some point, would definitely generate a lot of positive publicity, i do however think they have always been very female friendly in terms of the acts they book and probably don't need something like that.

Wasn't aware of the allegations definitely a no then lol

[eagles69]

I would Phoebe Bridgers as similar artist to Julia Jacklin who played both EOTR and Green Man last year don't think it will b a problem

Yeah. Aldous Harding and Julie Byrne played both last year as well.

Why would Big Thief be long shots? Is there a clash on somewhere? Was really hoping they would be on the bill somewhere.

Just on the fact that they are american and don't seem scheduled to be in England at this time. Where Phoebe playing Green Man and Idles being English they have more chance. I hope they are as the last album was amazing 

[wolfamongwolves]

Kamasi Washington is a great shout he would be wonderful. 

[WM Hall]

posting this here to see if my predictions are anyway near accurate come tomorrow morning.

 

Woods:

Belle & Sebastian | Warpaint | Bonnie Prince Billy

Ezra Furman, Dirty Projectors, First Aid Kit, Courtney Barnett, Tune-Yards, Alex G

Warpaint aside, id agree with that. swap out warpaint with Mogwai or my bloody valentine i reckon 

[wolfamongwolves]

Warpaint can not see them headlining at all . Not nearly enough interest in them these days. 

[OddRon]

Big thief are doing European festivals in Augusts and green man so very likely I imagine

would fiona apple be hopelessly optimistic 

[Mash011]

Unknown Mortal Orchestra have to be there, don't they? Would be a class big top headliner.

[RedRockRick]

Just announced: "The cat is nearly outta the bag! We'll be revealing our secrets at 9am tomorrow. Set your alarms."

Not reading too much into the above, but my tips are now:

Cat Power

The Outta Sites

The Bags (reformed)

Revealer

Secrets

Tomorrow (reformed)

The Alarm

Several random Bella Union acts.

Needless to say, my alarm is always set.

[SweepingTheNation]

Also a reformed Londonbeat performing 9am on the piano stage.

[juliadevitt]

my predictions; complete guess work and wishful thinking:

Mercury Rev

Interpol

Spiritualized

The Decemberists

British Sea Power

Cigarettes after sex

This is the Kit

Wave Pictures

Olafur Arnalds

Bonobo

[SweepingTheNation]

 

Wish or hint? In a phrase you have to be very careful about saying, I love Peaness.

[zahidf]

Now at last, say hello to our first wave of acts playing End Of The Road Festival 2018!

Headlining this year will be the incredible Vampire Weekend - announcing their first show in four years - and Feist, who will both make their long-awaited Larmer Tree debuts for their only UK festival appearances of the summer. Joining them will be the dazzling St. Vincent and our Thursday night headliners, Yo La Tengo, who will open #EOTR18.

Elsewhere we have the ever thrilling Ezra Furman, the mesmerising Julia Holter, and the legendary John Cale and Jeff Tweedy, of The Velvet Underground and Wilco fame respectively.

There's still more to come, you can find our lineup so far and tickets at /EOTR18
