I see Passenger and Gruff Rhys are playing Mosely Festival on the same weekend. Passenger? Jesus Christ no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum_96 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) If they clash Bright Eyes and Pixies a one man one riot will occur Edited February 18, 2020 by Callum_96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomos_ Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 To be honest I wouldn't be too fussed by a Pixies/Bright Eyes clash, but I can why a lot of people would be up in arms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoebox Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I want a Bright Eyes/King Krule clash. That will work perfectly for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reasoning is - I’d have thought there will be major interest in Bright Eyes, such that we might be looking at the Garden getting too full. The easy way to solve that is by putting a big draw on the Woods stage at the same time, e.g. Pixies. If they put Bright Eyes up against King Krule, it’s going to make it a big problem in my opinion. The other possibility is they pull a Bill Callahan type solution and Bright Eyes are moved to the Woods... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I think Pixies will play Friday. Possibly Saturday. They are playing in Hungary on Wednesday and on their tour they tend to have a 2 or 3 day break when changing countries. King Krule is supposedly a big name these days so could go up against Bright Eyes on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 I’ve never understood why they can’t tell us which days the headliners are playing. They obviously know and there are no day tickets so no risk it would adversely affect sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense, King Krule will get a big crowd - you're underestimating his popularity, especially among an increasingly young crowd. I'd imagine Bright Eyes will sub the mainstage, but perhaps they'll do the Garden... At this moment in time, Bright Eyes are no bigger than Parquet Courts were last year, and over-filled the Garden... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomos_ Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 King Gizzard over in the UK & Ireland to play Latitude/ATN festivals earlier in the summer (late July). Looks like the faint hope I had of them being announced in the second round of bands is now almost zero! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulwa Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I went to see Damien Jurado in Bristol last night (partly to make up for not seeing him at EOTR 2018 , where he was replaced by the Wave Pictures due to illness). He was in solo singer-songwriter mode last night, just him and an electric acoustic guitar, but very enjoyable. The support act was Dana Gavanski, who I later found out will be playing EOTR 2020. I heard elements of Cate Le Bon, American folk and even Lola vs. Powerman era Kinks in her sound. She was good, definitely worth checking out, and I could see her working well in either the Tipi tent or early afternoon on the Garden stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was in session for Marc Riley towards the end of last year - I had one of those moments where you stop what you’re doing when she played One by One, absolutely magical. Can’t wait to see her at EOTR, one of my must sees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
