Possible that it's timed to coincide with some UK/European dates being announced.

Yeah seems there's a few events that are probably going to be announcing acts within the next few weeks. End of the Road, All Points East, Primavera, Green Man, Roskilde, Blue Dot etc. Not all confirmed of course, but just seems very likely

Didn't someone say they're a R+L exclusive? Don't know how much truth there is in that though

It’s not that they’re an R&L exclusive necessarily, the Bearded Theory booker (I think) said they’re an exclusive at a UK festival and R&L seemed most likely. I’d be surprised if they headlined this but it’s definitely possible.

1. Bright Eyes will play this or Greenman. 

2. Would be very surprised to see Idles here as think they could command bigger money elsewhere. 

3. Destroyer coming back after their previous cut set would be ace. 

4. Would like to see Wilco, Modern Nature, Richard Dawson, Alex G, Mikal Cronin, Real Estate, Dry Cleaning and Woods.

Would love Bright Eyes!

Like a couple of others, I'm really not too bothered about IDLES coming back.

Would be happy with Bright Eyes, saw them at the Royal Albert hall which was a seated affair so I imagine seeing them at a festival would be more fun.

Angel Olsen or Ezra would be good too, and some King Gizzard/Pond/Amyl and the sniffers..

 

Johnny Marr seems to be touring in 2020... could he ever headline EOTR?

Any chance of Tame Impala coming back?

Personally I'd love it although they/he may be a bit too big now (although I'd still struggle to describe them as a top tier act).

There was a podcast interview with Simon once and he said that that Tamp Impala booking just fell perfectly for him that year as they were able to share the cost with Bestival (I think!). Get the impression that acts of that magnitude are probably out of their range, or at least if they want to put together a strong undercard. 

It's rare that EOTR sells itself on the headliners. Sufjan and the reformed Grandaddy and Vampire Weekend bookings were probably the only time we saw something outside of the usual acts playing the festival circuit. There is no way it sold out last year on the Woods headliners

I don't even remember Tame Impala being absolutely huge by the time EOTR rolled round that year (Currents certainly bumped them up a bit but that was only released two months prior), so god knows what they must cost now.

It still baffles me now. I don't know anyone who loves Tame Impala. How did they get so massive?

I watched the first three songs of their set the year they played. They managed to drop The Moment nice and early in their set which was great because it meant I could bugger off to watch Low instead.

Personally I love them (been a fan since the first album) but yes, I can guarantee if you walked down the street and asked 50 random people if they had heard of Tame Impala then probably at least 45 wouldn't have a clue what you're talking about.

I am pretty sure they're just one massive worldwide hit away from being Glasto headliners though.

I was so disappointed when Tame Impala played EOTR. I really wanted to see them back then but they didn't play a single one of their early more psychedelic rock tracks from the first few EPs and album. And I haven't liked anything they've done since. Hey ho.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
