Little Simz for Paredes!  Let’s go!  She’s got to be doing this now. 

Wait, while I'm not outright saying she won't, why has she got to be doing it any more than Loyle Carner or Jessie Ware being announced for the same?

(Special Interest too, though)

Artistic license haha 

I think Special Interest, Walkmen and Les Savy Fav will be there as well.

Feel like Yeah Yeah Yeahs have been one of the reasons for holding it back, I reckon 1st March is when an Embargo with APE might be lifted and they can be announced. 

As said before they've had the luxury of GM being sold out since September so they don't need to rush it out and would want to get as much as the line up out as possible. As long as New Order were better than they were at Glastonbury 2015 I'm down (shouldn't be hard)

I see Suede have been announced for beautiful days this year, guess that counts them out of greenman then?  😞

Could it be Lorde?

Doubtful.

[nosajthing]

Explosions In The Sky, anyone? They're at Paredes...

Is there a rationale to this, wouldn't have seen it as a strong GM fit?

The fact she's at Boardmasters that week, and isn't down as an "exclusive".

Also;

Got a mate from the area, moved away now but she still goes back to see her family sometimes. She's heard info from some locals, and I can't share it yet, but let's just say  GM are definitely punching above their weight this year! One of the headliners wouldn't look out of place headlining somewhere like the Other Stage, Primavera or All Points East....

All of which also applies to Liam Gallagher. He's certainly a risky booking for GM but maybe Fiona wants to shake up the demographic.

(Seriously, though, we've already been through "surely it'll be Pulp?", "surely it'll be Bjork?" and "surely it'll be Aphex Twin?", let's not have another one at the faintest suggestion and get people's hopes unrealistically high)

Liam is down as a UK exclusive at Boarmasters. And is way away from the Green Man demographic IMO. But yeah.

Looks like Yeah Yeah Yeahs are out then, apparently not getting to Europe until 25th August for their tour! Lorde apparently doing Paredes but just can't see her turning up her but would be a huge get for GM

FWIW I'm guessing that if Lorde does anything else in the UK it'll be APE or Connect, but I doubt she was ever on GM's radar anyway.

It's kind of interesting that they're announcing much later than usual and we usually have some solid idea of at least one headliner before the confirmation but we don't at all this year. We half-assumed First Aid Kit because they had talked about playing an August festival but they're doing South Facing.

Lorde on at Boardmasters too, which while I doubt are close enough to exclusivity clauses don't seem to ever share acts. I think that's target audience as much as anything but still seems like if you play one you aren't at the other. Causation/correlation etc.

Marc Riley just read a list of festival dates for Warmduscher, which included Green Man 

[CANTON93]

Still praying for Pavement but very unlikely because of Bluedot. What about Yo La Tengo?

[CANTON93]

Also Big Thief?

Were supposed to headline EOTR in 2020 and 2021, so I guess they're wrapping up touring Dragon New Warm Mountain... with their August US dates and are (hopefully) on a priority future promise to them.

Yo La Tengo headlined in 2019, no way they're back so soon.

[zico martin]

oh man there are so many possibilities, roll on next week eh?

previously i was thinking first aid kit and yeah yeah yeahs were virtually nailed but i guess that ain't the case now, what's the educated guess for headliners now?  

I'd love caroline polachek and big thief on the list as i regret missing them both at glasto last year. 

 

[RustySpanner]

Boygenius have announced a London show on 20th August…

[uscore]

Delgados?  I see they're on the list for the Deer Shed Festival

Again we really shouldn't get our definite hopes up, but ticket presale from 1st March...  (There's also a rumour they're playing Connect the following weekend)

Boygenius and Little Simz nailed on I think personally now.  Third is a bit of a mystery… a sensible guess would probably be Bonobo or Jamie XX, but I’m hoping not

Boygenius cant be headliners though surely?

I honestly think that it's still a huge possibility that Sigur Ros headline, or an act that everyone has forgotten about and will be announced as a UK Festival Exclusive. I'm not a HUGE encyclopaedia when it comes to who may be announced but honestly just think it's best to keep imagination open 🙂
