jannybruck Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 (edited) A little bit of a curveball but I wonder if New Order could be a possibility - they've two regional gigs scheduled a few days after (and almost certainly doing All Points East given the dates) and might fit in a sort of Kraftwerk placement way. They'd be the biggest band on the bill but did Blue Dot, same capacity as GM, a couple of years ago so aren't opposed to doing these mid sized festivals.

No dates in the UK as of yet except one Glasgow show at the start of Aug so theoretically free I don't think so, for the reason that they're billing that as this year's Bowlie Weekender so it seems like a special one-off.

Wonder if playing Cardiff so close to this rules them out, would love them though, I was tempted by the Cardiff Bay show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Bulb Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 4 hours ago, SweepingTheNation said: Far more than that, I'd say anyone in a bigger font. They barely even shared notable acts in 2021. Ah ok. Was specifically interested in Big Special. Went ahead and got tickets to see them in Brum this morning just to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lessthanwill1 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 The Smile at Pukkelpop on the Sunday of Green Man weekend. Also at Lowlands that weekend. Leaves one day open for them at Green Man - maybe the Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves one day open for them at Green Man - maybe the Friday? I really hope this is the case but I have a gut feeling Glastonbury will be the only uk festival they do. It feels more likely to me that the band will just take a short rest between Warsaw on Wednesday and Lowlands on Saturday, but I guess Netherlands isn't that far from UK. Hope I'm wrong though, they're top of my list for potential headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalviaPlath Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Unless Big Thief are an exclusive to the PJ Harvey gig at gunnersbury park on the Sunday, I am surprised to not really see them prominent in the conversation for headliner for Friday or Saturday. They're big enough now and a very greenman act. A glance at their five European dates this summer also suggests a number of gaps waiting to be filled (five days between their Oslo and Belgium gigs and four between Belgium and London). The greenman shaped hole is very much there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think they’re quite likely now it’s just people (like me) assumed they’d be at EOTR given they were booked to do the 2020 edition and haven’t been back yet.

Other stuff all looks likely, although I think/hope Beth Gibbons might pop up at Green Man. Holden did last year so won’t be there again obvs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially the Amyl & The Sniffers Sunday sub-slot? That was flippin' excellent. I absolutely love 'em so would love to see them somewhere. Would also love Soulwax to fill that late Far Out slot. I haven't seen them for a decade. TSHA, Barry Can't Swim or Romy would also be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that level, they still have name value, are headlining 6 Music Festival and aren't (so far) at Reading & Leeds so will presumably be playing somewhere else around APE. But I do think (and I know this is self-defeating for having just done a prediction) there'll be a surprise as Mountain headliner or sub we might not necessarily see coming.

They're modestly placed on the Death Cab APE bill though? However, I am fairly hopeless at predicting the Green Man line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullShaboo Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Maribou State? Just been announced to headline Stowaway festival (same weekend). Headlined Far Out back in 2019.... have they done enough for a bump up? Initially thought they'd make a great FO headliner but after checking their placement in 2019 ive assumed this is highly unlikely.... imagine after headlining the second stage its either main stage or nothing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they've done enough since to get bumped up, feels like they were really really popular that year, especially with that King Krule song. I had that stuck in my head all year.

Could potentially see either cropping up this year (or even Floating Points again) but maybe they’ll go for someone different for this year.

I do wonder whether they'd want to do the line-up announcement on a Friday morning, though, it's quite busy music-wise.

Salopian Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Really hoping for: Big Thief or PJ Harvey (based on the gig they've got in London). Been so confident in Big Thief playing I've got the other half into them. Porij were brilliant in 22 Ibibio Sound Machine Bess Atwell (also played in 22) Bill Ryder-Jones (playing EOTR though) Random ones: Can't imagine the Bad Seeds would ever play but wonder if they could ever get Nick Cave Solo Manics are doing a few gigs this summer...wonder if they'll ever do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
