domjon Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Tropical Fuck Storm over for Green Man then, be surprised if they dont appear in the next announcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WM Hall Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 That Green Man line-up just looks like the last 3 EOTR line-ups mashed together. My comments about EOTR line-ups no longer being original or surprising can be repeated for Green Man... but our EOTR line-up is much better than that Green Man line-up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WM Hall Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I would say that the EOTR line-up is solid but unimaginative, whereas the Green Man is neither solid nor imaginative 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does feel like the two take it in turns to have underwhelming headliners, although last year's EOTR undercard was better all round than this GM's (but I suspect there's a couple of interesting names under wraps for the second announcement) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomos_ Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Anyone think the EOTR line up is missing a Oh Sees/Ty Segall/Parquet Courts type garden headliner? Hopefully there will be one in the next announcement!(probably not any of the above though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Man announcement is decent, I wouldn't have minded Agnes Obel and Giant Swan at EOTR but overall I think we have the better line up.

ArcTanGent doesn't tend to share its imported big names with any other UK festival, though (plus it's the same weekend as GM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could just play every year actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought would be that on the graphic/poster Bright Eyes and Aldous Harding are headlining Garden and everyone else on the top three lines is on Woods - although Little Simz' actual position will be interesting, I can't see her on Garden so is she Woods sub (and if so who to) or maybe Big Top headliner for Best Fit or Loud & Quiet's day lineup sponsorship?

Just checked out this line up and swans was the only name I recognised! Is it all heavy type stuff? As I'm not clued up on that music as it's not to my taste... Maybe I need to check this stuff out!

Yeah, heavy's a good umbrella word - prog metal, doom metal, experimental, math, post-rock, the weirder/heavier side of punk and emo, that kind of thing. Though there's a couple of bands playing this year that have done EOTR in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be many festivals that would allow a band that length of set. However it was a lot quieter than their normal preference .. hopefully they could crank it up a bit at EOTR 😝 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Any chance of Phoebe Bridgers playing here? She's certainly on my to see list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 I was surprised Bridgers hasn't been announced for either EotR or Green Man so far. She is going Latitude though so maybe that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both pretty big shows (and that's assuming there aren't her own gigs in between), and artists don't generally return to the UK so soon after playing July dates.

domjon Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Some of my favourite moments of EOTR are the first couple of slots on the garden stage on the saturday and Sunday early afternoon.... Anyone got any guesses as to who might fill those slots from the names so far? That Andy Shauf album is a real grower and would fit the moment but his name probably a bit too high on the bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean1234321 Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 I'd love Aldous Harding in one of those afternoon slots but I am guessing she's too big now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
