Hopefully there will be a few more experimental acts announced though. I think I'm correct in saying that this year's first announcement contains far less names than 2019's did so there's lots still to be announced.

KevRP Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Help please! I'm a newbie here, normally we go to Glastonbury and camp out at the Park Stage or John peel tent. Alas, no tickets, so booked EOTR based on reviews and previous lineups. I'm trying to get excited about this lineup however struggling. My big dislike is arty, portentous music and rap. (Anna Calvi would be my worst nightmare) Many artists who've played here before seemed perfect; 17 - Father Jon Misty, Band of Horses, Parquet Courts, TY Segal 18 - Vampire Weekend, Gruff Rhys, Jeff Tweedy, Idles, Amen Dunes, White Denim 19 - Michael Kiwanuka, Metronomy, Courtney Barnett, Cass Mccombs, Fontaines D.C Unfortunately, I seem to have stumbled on a year when I know less about who's playing, I've previously seen The Pixies, Richard Hawley and Bright Eyes. Those apart I'm struggling. Angel Olsen, King Krule, Big Thief, Aldous Harding all seem to be bordering on the arty side of things? (Whitney do sound interesting) . Can anyone suggest something decent to invest time with.Will there be any other announcements or are all the main acts announced? Many thanks and apologies for the long posting! :} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could start by checking out Squid, WH Lung, Dry Cleaning, Warmduscher, Black Country New Road, Big Joanie all of whom are excellent live.

KevRP Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Thank you very much for the suggestions, all of these sound great and have raised the spirits somewhat! Squid {Talking Heads?), WH Lung (James Murphy?) and Warmduscher sound brilliant and destined to become firm favourites on constant repeat!

Many thanks and apologies for the long posting! :} Really struggling at the idea that Angel Olson and Big Thief are arty but Misty and white denim arent! Theres a few playlists about, when I last went in 2018 I found putting them on shuffle while I played FIFA was a great way to get under the skin of what I wanted to check out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevRP Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I suppose its what you know. Angel Olsen (10) and Big Thief (19) both feature in Q magazine top albums of 2019. Hopefully I'll be a convert after seeing them in September (certainly wouldn't be the first time I've misjudged someone) - the beauty of festivals after all.

WM Hall Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 how Father John Misty isn't in the "portentous" category is utterly mindblowing... easily one of the most pretentious men around. and if you dislike "arty" music, why are you going to a festival that has always featured predominantly "arty" music? seems entirely counterintuitive...it would be like getting a ticket to Download and then saying "hey guys I really dislike metal, is there anything on the bill for me?"

KevRP Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Google 'portentous', it has two spellings. I certainly didn't come on here to upset the locals, just find out some some solid bands to listen to. As for Father John, I entirely agree he is way up his own backside. His famously awkward interview with RadMac on 6 Music is legendary. Saying that, his Park Stage set gyrating on the floor to Smiling and Astride was quite epic (particularly to my good lady who swoons over him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevRP Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 (And for the avoidance of doubt as I'm being vilified, portentous in this context means solemn. I guess it was pretentious of me to use it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeeroo Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 LTTP sharing my thoughts on the lineup but it's ticking enough boxes for me to justify paying off the rest of the balance on the ticket. Little Simz is the highlight for me and a name I was not expecting to be there. Also happy to see Big Thief, Richard Hawley, Whitney, Bright Eyes, The Comet Is Coming, Pixies, Penelope Isles, Dry Cleaning. It's enough names for me to be excited about with plenty of the unfamiliar to discover and that's just how I like my festival line-ups.
