scatteredscreens Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 The National are playing all together now in Ireland at the start of August, not sure if it strengthens their chances of playing this or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably comparable in size to GM so would probably say it strengthens it if anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcrawler Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Father John Misty is playing the same festival in Portugal as The National, having both of them headlining would be very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a strong booking but I'm not a fan personally. Good to see Car Seat Headrest are around as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweepingTheNation Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Not that I think they will, but I love how there's a thought on here that Idles could headline Green Man while in another thread there's a debate about whether they're big enough to headline 2000 Trees.

I couldn’t see a punk rock band headlining Green Man but even so, Idles are playing Boardmasters and are pretty low down the poster there.

electronicfreq Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 First Aid Kit would make a great Mountain Stage headliner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDave Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 New Order for PDC. That's them, the National, FJM, Car Seat Headrest all in the mix. Think 3/4 is very likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justiceforcedave Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Idles, Doves, New Order.....a guy can dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I like all three of those but it doesn’t seem like a Green Man lineup at all. New Order are reportedly at Blue Dot anyway. Padre and The National seem fairly clear and straightforward bookings for two of the headline slots so far. I think they’ll look to get a female voice in as the last name but apart from Shan Van 3000 - who I expect will hit up EOTR - I don’t right know who it could be.

kingcrawler Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Courtney Barnett would fit pretty well, though admittedly that's probably not the most exciting trio. Beach House would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Grimes getting a headline slot somewhere would be cool. Don’t know if she would be a fit here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Lawn Posted December 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) The National, Father John Misty, First Aid Kit would be dream-level stuff. Agree that New Order seem a v unlikely fit for Green Man. Could Jon Hopkins be on the cards?

As someone who has been to both (and plans on being at both next year) I've entertained myself lately thinking about which bands you could see at both. It's a fairly short list! Idles, Manchester Orchestra, Car Seat Headrest, Frank Turner, Shame. That's about as many as I've got! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chawk Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Grimes definitely could play. Jon Hopkins played in 2012 and 2014, would headline Far Out now. Courtney Barnett and Spiritulized apparently not in this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roll call of acts touring around GM ‘19 is pretty noice now. Disregarding UK acts, there’s already The National, FJM, Mitski, Big Thief, Robyn (tho apparently at Latitude), Jonathan Wilson, Kadhja Bonet, Car Seat Headrest, Alvvays, Yo La Tengo, Hinds and Japanese Breakfast - and it’s GM’s turn for custody of most of those. Not meaning to set too high expectations but that’s a nice looking selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From an interview with Lauren earlier this year "What goes into planning the lineup? So much, I actually don’t really know where to start. Simon Taffe, one of the festival’s founders, books the bands. The lineup is really a reflection of his tastes and pulled together with input from everyone else who works here."
