Editors

[Wald]

I'm proposing an eFests challenge to see if we can have one thread play out without Fred Again being mentioned...

Bit of a pisser if it’s an Elton clash - would be an easy choice over GNR or AM

Went to see the Editors in Bristol last week. Really enjoyed the nostalgia sing along! Can see them smashing a Glasto slot on JP

Ok so don’t shoot me because I am definitely NOT in the know. But my best friend knows Ed from the Editors and she tells me yesterday that a month ago he told her they were playing Woodsies not at the same time as Elton. 
 

If this turns out to be my first in the know that turns out to be correct then I’m going in the efestivals hall of fame.

Awesome, so at current guesses of lineup this would put them as either supporting Hotchip (Fri) or CATQ (Sat, though not 100%) - assume they wouldn't be any lower down than subbing on Woodsies? 

If Editors'd headline, and the non-Elton clash bit is right, then presumably CATQ's website is right (says Sun) and his poster is wrong (says Sat)?

You’re basically an influencer now!

Hotchip went to the same school as Four Tet, who might be teaming up with Fred Again. *

 

* I just felt that it had been a while since we'd seen his name mentioned.

Are they really a headline / sub these days? Don't get me wrong I think they're hugely underrated but I think they've slipped away from broader appeal somewhat on their latest few albums.

No idea personally - would quite fancy seeing them so very happy if they're a bit earlier and further from clashes.  Think there's lots of 'past their best' on my radar for this year 🙂

The answer to this question depends on entirely how Belgian you are

I'm a fan of their beer, chocolate and the EU - so headlining?

I so am, until what I’ve said is proved to be utter nonsense by someone who really knows 😆

Really hope to be able to catch them but am fearing the Elton/QOTSA/Editors Sunday triumvirate.

They were fantastic at Mad Cool last summer and one of my acts of the weekend.
