"Very soon", is all we know.

No, that was "pre-pre-announcement" stage, in that there'll probably be one before the end of the month (which itself would be a couple of weeks earlier than last year) but we'll get a date first.

[The Nal]

Soon, very soon etc can be vague.

In cosmic terms the sun will burn out "soon".

But Monday lunchtime is also "soon".

Will we? I thought they just normally post the second load of names without announcing a date first.

It's what I thought they did, but now I check last year the message was "we've got some news for you next week" with no specific date given, so you're probably right. Manchester Psych is teasing a second full announcement too.

Hoping we get BJM from the Manchester Psych Fest bill. Been on the band bucket list for a while now

Rumoured for Thursday, but Forwards (Bristol over the same weekend) announces tomorrow.

Yeah yeah yeahs/Perfume genius song Spitting off the edge of the world on the latest Eotr ‘Spring’ playlist. 
Does that mean what I think it means?

Presumably not, I’ve just noticed Lou Reed on the same playlist… but still… I remain hopeful.

I mean, I assume Bruce Springsteen and Van Morrison aren't to be announced either...

(FWIW there was a rumour the YYYs were going to headline Green Man but changed their European dates window)

Actually not much potential here except maybe Viagra Boys, if you take out those who would likely have been headliners.

Amyl & the Sniffers, Jockstrap and Confidence Man are all there, though, which leads me to wonder if that second level weakness we've talked about is partly due to Green Man getting in first for all three and maybe others (Walkmen)

Aphex Twin smashing out squelchy acid on the Woods Stage would incredible. We already have a more experimental line up this year so he'd be the icing on the cake (although I'm guessing a very expensive icing)

Seems like I forgot all the headliners have been announced. Oh well. Get him DJing on the cider bus instead so we don't have to listen to the shite that normally drifts over the campsite at 3am.

It's another Pulp situation, I think - just because he was announced for one (Field Day) doesn't mean he'd have even been in the frame practically anywhere else even if he had the choice to turn them down.

Panda Bear/Sonic Boom,  Imperial Triumphant,  Selvhenter

Katy J Pearson seems more likely. She's not at Green Man, has released a new album since she played EotR in 2021 and would go some way to filling the mid-table gap inhabited by Weather Station, Cassandra Jenkins, Anaïs Mitchell etc last year.

Heard nothing 

Panda Bear/ Sonic Boom  I'm hoping and think there's a good chance 

Selvhenter would fit in perfectly and are great live 

Imperial Triumphant I was just been silly would never play. But I would love it 

[suttttttt]

The week after EOTR. Not a fan but could Shame slot in to bulk up the middle? Few others on that bill that would be nice additions to the line up too

Snapped Ankles should play every year.

[Dogleg]

Meh

[ljsawyer]

This line-up just gets more and more stacked! Some fantastic additions in there - Fatoumata Diawara, Panda Bear & Sonic Boom, Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul, Deerhoof, Allah-Las, King Tuff and Sessa are all great.

[suttttttt]

Chuffed with Allah-las. Shaping up to be a great weekend
