For those not on the WhatsApp group from last year that still exists.

Don't think she'd be back so quickly. Played in 2021.

So the "scoop" is it's going to come out when it always does and will have the sort of bands that play EOTR!

I know there's been some talk of Phoebe Bridgers, but I reckon her current popularity would maybe make it unlikely she would headline EOTR (though not impossible - not sure she'd be more costly than Pixies). But she could play with Boygenius. Lucy Dacus told us last year (and not in the usual way that artists do it) that it's her favourite festival, so can see her being keen. New album announced: https://pitchfork.com/news/boygenius-announce-new-album-the-record-share-three-songs-listen

I love the boygenius suggestion, they are meant to be around the UK in late August so would be cool for either EOTR or GM to get them. What will probably happen is they end up subbing at APE in London...

Also rumours of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs being around in late August.

Green Man I reckon

Could you please find a space for Esben and the Witch

Saw them some years ago and never seen them listed anywhere since

Wilco headlined back in 2012 iirc. Booking them for the same slot in 2023 would be weak. Especially as they're playing Mosely folk festival which has recently has The Waterboys and Supergrass as headliners. 

Thursday headliner feels right to me. 

So what ? They are one of the most relevant bands around still

Ive lost count of the amount of times Ive seen Wilco. Theyre always good. Considering most festival lineups this year looks like binfires, its a solid booking wherever they play. We need more oomph and less ernest singer songwriters imo. 

Also they need to makes amends for this fairly weak setlist

I reckon Gaz Coombes is a runner. Hes doing a couple of festivals in July.

 

That setlist is unreal 

[domjon]

Tiny Ruins dropped a track today, thought they'd packed in tbh, be nice to have them back.

[Justiceforcedave]

All Points East saying announcement incoming. Assuming the same kind of cross over from last year I guess it will come same time as EOTR announcement? Perhaps along with a tour or two?

Saw a band called Alien Chicks last night. Would have thought they'd go down well in the Tipi.

It's the time of year to start asking bands at gigs if they are booked for festivals. This time last year I found out Deathcrash and Keg were playing by talking to them.

They were supporting Cowboyy who are kind of leading the Hampshire/ South Coast scene at the moment (yes, it does exist!) Was a great night, 4 bands all different, local crowd right up for it.

I think Alien Chicks were quite surprised by the reaction, had a mosh pit going for the last few songs. Was initially a bit tough for them following a grindcore band called Scab from Portsmouth who had a half hour 42 song setlist.

Made me laugh when Alien Chicks started going on about coming from Brixton and having Lou Smith direct their video. Crowd reaction was a bit like that Alan Partridge gif. Yeah, whatever. This is Southampton, no one cares, haha.

Definitely a band to keep an eye on.

Pavement are at Bluedot apparently so unlikely for EOTR

Unless they were staying in Europe for six weeks (and maybe if EOTR suddenly got a lot bigger) they were unlikely anyway.

Alvvays are playing a US festival the week before so are also likely out.

[scatteredscreens]

Pavement out

[Justiceforcedave]

Got a prompt on Spotify to remember to buy tickets to Big Thief… I’ve decided that this combined with EOTR and All Points East announcing soon has me convinced they’re in.

[Riverneck]

Angel Olsen is nailed on to appear.

[Riverneck]

YYY are playing APE

So does anyone want to hazard some final stage headliner/big subs guesses before we get maybe an announcement and more likely some from other festivals around the dates this coming week?
