Do we know who is playing Thursday, apart from Stereolab?

Assuming the dates on their webpage are correct, then I think Kikagaku Moya:

Would have loved to have seen them on the Garden Stage again; that set they did in 2019 was mesmerising.

Still, will be a great start to the weekend no matter what stage they're on 🙂

Looks pretty definite to me, good spot.

You have to admire them attempting a European tour in the midst of all of this.

Kikagaku Moyo into Stereolab will be a great Thursday night double!

Managed to miss KM a couple of years ago, looking forward to them especially

He’s referring to the fact the U.K. govt will make him and his band pay for a rip off Day 2 PCR test.

Was listening to Anteloper the other day, trying to educate myself on the lesser known artists. Loved em or him. Whatever.

I was very, VERY drunk during that run. Feel like I did it a disservice and regret it greatly.

Kikagaku Moyo on the Garden Stage at sunset last time round was one of the great gigs. Them and Stereolab is a cracking Thursday evening.

Never heard of them before your post this morning... Loving them!! That's my Thursday night sorted 👌

[Dancers Stand Very Still]

I had a bit of time this morning so I've set up a Clashfinder (https://clashfinder.com/s/eotr2021), with placeholder times for now from previous years to save time later. I'll add the rest when the day splits are released, but if anybody else gets there first on that day then obviously feel free! 🙂

I've also added the Thursday acts above (subject to change).

Great work, thanks! Sleaford Mods are playing the saturday btw so we can put that one in!

[xxialac]

With only 29 days to go and a tonne of other things for them to think about, it feels too late to be adding more than a band or two at this stage.

And all bands will have been booked for a specific date. 

So would love the day splits before the week is out, c’mon guys, Green Man had theirs out by now!

British Sea Power have just announced a gig in Milton Keynes on the Thursday after EOTR, so they must be available for the weekend if they're looking for replacements.

That would be awesome... I *think* the MK gig is their first to go ahead since they played St Leonards last March, would be good if they can squeeze in a set at EOTR too.

[The Nal]

Slift and Los Bitchos would be nice additions. Both in town so to speak.

I think you're right. They've a nice little tour coming up (also got a ticket to see them in Bedford in October - lost count of how many times that's been postponed) and so a warm up gig at EOTR would go down a treat.

[Mardy]

No shortage of acts ready to play, I reckon. They're as itching to get back out there as we are. Not many bands would turn it down if they got a call from Simon. 

[xxialac]

Spanish study has shown that people attending outdoor festivals with antigen testing and no social distancing were 76% more likely to get covid.

Not saying for a moment that EOTR shouldn’t go ahead but is worth acknowledging the risk is higher.

Tune-Yards also have the Thurs on their website. But they also have a date in Edinburgh the preceding Sunday, which has been cancelled, and a date in Halifax on EOTR Sat, from which the venue has removed them from the bill. So seems pretty unlikely that they'll be there at all.

This issue must be what's causing all the delays... bands pulling out... finding replacements. Not easy for the booking staff. As has been said, there must be plenty of eager UK bands ready to step in, but it takes time to sort out.

[RedRockRick]

As far as i can see from the above, everyone is down to play on Thursday and we're then down to eating cake and drinking tea for the rest of the weekend.

missed word

[Lucanesque]

TBH, I'd be up for a festival like that... most of the people I'm going with to EOTR I've not seen since Glasto 2019, so music, tea, cake, and general nattering will be proper food for the soul

Electric Picnic canceled, dont think itll have any impact on the lineup (hopefully) as they rescheduled it for a few weeks later.
