Sean1234321 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Damn, I was really looking forward to seeing them. Wonder if they'll bump Courtney Barnett up or try and book someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyperu Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I was planning on seeing them as I’ve seen Low a few times before and never seen Beirut wonder if they will move Courtney Barnett up to headliner and just find someone to fill a gap lower down? Likely just depends on who is available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WM Hall Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 It's a good chance to get a better headliner in - this year's headliners might be the weakest ever. Get Stereolab to replace, easy peasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweepingTheNation Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Not a lot of headline quality bands around for such a slot at short notice - look at Green Man, they only announced Yo La Tengo as headliners last week when they weren't even first named in the relevant new addition announcement. I'd guess all EOTR-level festivals have standby lists but replacing the band they'd been pushing as main headliner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoebox Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Not a fan of Beirut so I was always going to see Low. That was an easy clash to resolve. Really hope they don't get an amazing replacement ??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweepingTheNation Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Lot of people responding with 'Better Oblivion Community Center!!!!', because it'll obviously be simple for Oberst, Bridgers and band to drop everything for one overseas date with seven weeks' notice.

bobbyperu Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 The Strokes are in Ireland the night before. Can't see it though. CB is arguably a bigger draw than Beirut anyway so she will likely just move up a spot. It'll be Ezra though won't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoebox Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I always chuckle at some of ludicrous suggestions for replacements when this sort of thing happens. Not so much in here, but on social media. You have to wonder if some of these people even know what festival they're attending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPEC_Coaches Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I would be pretty chuffed with Courtney being bumped up! Would resolve my clash with Kikagaku Moyo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoebox Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Although that clash with Low will be horrible for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyperu Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Public Service Broadcasting are headlining Moseley on the Friday. They’ve played EOTR before. Could see them being slotted in as subs if CB is bumped up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losing my hair Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I can't imagine that there are any headliner acts who just happen to have nothing booked that weekend so I expect that Courtney will get bumped up and they'll find a sub somewhere - Ezra? Courtney vs Low will be a horrible clash though - big decision to be made by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean1234321 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I'd be happy with that - I was planning on missing Courtney for the Garden Stage stuff and then heading over to see Beirut, so if I get to see her now it'd be a result.

Ezra's US tour begins on the 5th so I guess rehearsals, not to mention the expense of flying over for a single date, would rule that out.

On Facebook someone suggested Royal Blood (LOL), another person said The Rolling Stones (what?) and someone else said Bill Ryder-Jones (not even big enough to headline the Big Top) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesrfisher Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Shift Jarv Is from Sunday Garden to Saturday (otherwise Garden is going to be rammed on the Sunday), then get either Ezra or British Sea Power (playing around end of August in UK) to headline Garden on Sunday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
