Be good to know Thursday headliner 

kind of make or break whether we go or not 

[Gilgamesh69]

I'm happy with it. Some big losses sure, but hopefully they'll return next year. Otherwise there's more than enough acts there for me to have a great weekend.

 

I wonder who the Garden stage headliners will be...

I'd guess The Comet Is Coming, Johnny Greenwood and John Grant.

I'd be shocked if Stereolab isnt thursday

[robith]

Hot Chip are absolute all timers for me and I absolutely adored that bdrmm LP last year.

 

Chubby still there too KNOCK KNCOK OI OI

Could be anyone for the Thursday out of them, SM, Little Simz, KK and Hot Chip

[Guy Incognito]

Face it guys none of you want to go. You wanted to see Pixies, Angel Olsen, Big Thief. King K Rool? You mean the guy from Donkey Kong? Sleaford Mods? You mean the guys that do that cookery live show on Instagram? Nah rubbish. Why aren't Nick Cave and PJ Harvey playing? The only live down for goodness sake.

Might aswell all refund your tickets. Only silly people (like me) will actually want to go.

 

 

 

please let me buy your tickets.

Does the fact Stereolab are fourth on the poster not point to Thursday??

Little Simz isn't headlining, King Krule has already been confirmed as the Friday and Hot Chip, in a rehash of the same pointless argument on here from when the first announcement happened, are not going to be Thursday headliners if they're top billed.

King K Rool was originally booked for a weekend headline slot so not sure why he'd be Thursday now. Little Simz was weirdly down as a sub on 2019's poster before dissapearing so could see her doing that slot.

[Lester_Freamon]

The EOTR news page confirms Stereolab as a headliner:

First up, joining musical polymath King Krule as headliners are electro-pop heavyweights Hot Chip, anarchic punks Sleaford Mods and sonic explorers Stereolab.

Didn’t it change between lineups though ? 

Big Thief were originally Thursday then Perfume Genius was

My suspicion is that Simz and Parks will sub Krule - maybe Simon thinks it's too big a traditional stylistic leap for the festival to immediately have Simz headline (and Arlo is such a big fan of Krule's that he was part of the reason she chose to adopt a stage name)

[Gilgamesh69]

So ...

Thursday: Stereolab

Friday: king krule 

Saturday: Hot Chip

Sunday: Sleaford Mods 

?

Only because one of the headliners pulled out. Krule is the only original headliner they have left.

Then it all points to Stereolab which is very disappointing

Excellent work, just need to add Buck Meek to the out list.

Sorry but Sleaford mods headlining over little simz is absolutely criminal

In fairness Stereolab headlined Green Man last year so are arguably bigger than you'd expect to take a Thursday headline slot.

Sleaford Mods on the other hand have been lower down posters for years and don't feel like a headline act to me.

Except Stereolab didn't headline Green Man, they were subs.

Delighted with this. So so happy. Better than the original lineup for me. Hot Chip, Arab Strap, Stereolab and Kikagaku Moyo. Yes fucking please! 

Ill be swimming over if I have to. 

[killyourtv]

Works for me, I'm rarely bothered with the headliners anyway.  Loads of new stuff to explore there, and have wanted to see Margaret Glaspy and Little Simz for ages. Glad to see David Thomas Broughton able to swim here from South Korea or Japan or wherever. And Jane Weaver doing "I Need a Connection" and new album is perfect.

My 19 year old lad wanted to come for the Pixies having loved the Idles set in 2018, doubt he's bothered now if some folk return I might be able to take Mrs KYTV now.

Just hope the "craft keg" beers don't run out on Thursday this time.
