Janelle Monae? Doing London and Manchester the week of EF but with no Scottish date? (She also missed out Scotland on her UK run earlier this year)

Nope, says that those two are exclusive dates. Plus, as good as she is I can't see her really shifting tickets for it.

There's no Scottish date on Suede's April tour, they seem an obvious shout for a headliner here.

Wouldn’t be surprised. Sleaford Mods would be good as this year’s Young Fathers. Don’t think they have a Scottish date.

I know The National are probably too big for this (especially with them headlining Mad Cool this year) but their tour dates do line up pretty nicely for it.

Would imagine this rules out The National and Suede from Electric Fields.

I guess so, maybe the lineup will be similar to Bluedot? New Order must be pretty likely.

Ah, that's a shame about Suede. Thought they'd be perfect for EF.

Really no idea who they'll go for now. Massive Attack? Belle & Sebastian? Garbage? The Wombats?

Seeing Stereophonics announce a lot of dates for July, could be a shout for headliner?

Them and new order would be possibles unless too expensive...

Rather New Order personally.

[harryomatic]

Yeah could be an expensive pair.

Probably not happening then. Capacity being scaled back so someone cheaper required.

The Bluebells mate ? 

[harryomatic]

Raconteurs maybe?

[Comfy Bean]

Orbital at Kendal on the Thursday night. Would work here. Manics might also be a possibility for Friday or Saturday with a cheaper headliner the other night.

[Comfy Bean]

The LaFontaines are playing.

Where did you hear that ?

[redmicky]

Any other suggestions of bands playing ? Manics ? Stereophonics ?

Totally guessing but both would go down well wouldn’t be surprised if it was Manics. All the talk though is about scaling back on capacity so not expecting anyone expensive.

I’m hoping to be pleasantly surprised , there’s a lot being made about scaling back . It’s going back to what it was 2 yrs ago - the date change should help with bands being available .

Haven't the foggiest. Manics seem a good shout. Paul Weller, The Specials, Travis, Franz Ferdinand are the size of bands I'd imagine that'll be headlining.

I'll go

Franz Ferdinand / Editors

Elbow / The Twilight Sad

Belle & Sebastian / Underworld

That looks a good shout - Editors are one I was thinking of , great live band .

Sure Elbow are at Belladrum so that might rule them out .

They are so scratch that.

 Be great if they got someone a bit out of the blue like Beck or the Pixies.

Last years line up was great and a bit like you say out of the blue , hopefully not too long to wait .

Hoping Baby Strange might make an appearance , possibly Idles again 

[redmicky]

When do we think the line up will be announced
