I hope not. Gave them a listen as they got mentioned on here, dreadful stuff and not a fit for EOTR at all.

Every bit as much a fit as Mogwai and Sigur Ros

Wouldn't say so at all, both Mogwai and Sigur Ros have actually released some decent albums for one. PT sound like a desperate fart of stale prog rock that was already perfected 45 years ago imo.

I've managed every one since 2012 (bar 2020), nearly always at a new venue in a different part of London (Mono was good in 2015), and always starting so late I have to leave early to get home. Glad to see it at the Lex.

Steve and co are still active next year.

Think they'd be a great EOTR booking.

[Riverneck]

Sparks?

 

new tour and album next year. Thursday night headliner might suit.

Sparks were my number one request on the survey that came out after this year's fest. Me and my mates would love it!

[scatteredscreens]

Sparks would be a lush Thursday headliner

[Guy Incognito]

Not a wish personally but wonder if we might see Shame in a prominent slot.

Come on Walkman reformation. You know which UK festival you want to play!

[Justiceforcedave]

I still haven't seen the Murder Capital, so stick them on please.

Gah I've never put them on a wishlist cos it seemed so damn farfetched.

I would LOVE to see the walkmen at end of the road

They have played before and Hamilton was part of the No Other Band the year that was put on, Peter Matthew Bauer has also played. So they have ties and obvious fans amongst the organisers.

Obviously no news about any shows other than the New York ones at the moment, so who knows whether they'll even come over to these shores, but here's hoping!

Yes please. Remember seeing her in a small tent one year, maybe 2008? Jarvis DJ'd in there after, the tent isn't there any more but it was kinda where the gin bar is. She's not released anything for years. <goes off to have a listen>

2010 - The Local was the name of the tent. She also played The Woods in 2013 & a magnificent, drunken, hoarse-voiced secret set in The Tipi.

New album out tomorrow, fingers crossed its as good as her previous two.

She played two sets in 2010: as well as the Local set, she subbed for a late pull-out for someone (I've forgotten who now) in the Big Top.

When do lineups/rumours tend to emerge? 

On no logic, or knowledge I call:

King Gizz

Phoebe Bridgers

Big Thief

Personal favourite to appear anywhere: 

Marlon Williams

Thoughts? 

Any likely candidates emerging already?

Sadly having to say goodbye to my trusty campervan. I found this while I was clearing it out to get it ready for sale. This was my fourth End of the Road, but the first in the van. Anybody else remember when tickets were a work of art in themselves? Bringing that back would be on my wishlist I reckon. And Bob Mould.

...and Bob Log III

Phoebe Bridgers is likely too big for Green Man now, let alone EOTR. She just sold out four nights at the 5,000 capacity Brixton Academy straight away.

I deplore e-tickets. The paper tickets were lovely.

Really hoping for the return of Big Thief, already seeing next year and saw them three times last year but they're a band who really change it up on the setlists so I'd happily see them again. Hope Adrianne or Buck do a solo show with it too.

I think Big Thief are very likely. Have played the festival before and are definitely the right size to headline. I thought that perhaps over 2022 they'd become too big to be re-booked as headliners but reckon they are the perfect size. 

I'd prefer them as Thursday headliners but am expecting them to be Friday, Saturday or Sunday. 

Was very excited about Angel Olsen when she was first booked but not arsed now. Havent really enjoyed much of her recent material despite loving Burn Your Fire.... and My Woman. Think I'd prefer someone like Sharon VE these days.
