It doesn’t seem quite right for £230… Could she do the Thursday headline or is that slot too small? Please let it happen one way or another!

Just her being announced for Kilby Block Party has caused a huge amount of excitement - it got its own Pitchfork story even though she isn't headlining. There's absolutely no chance of her being on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustySpanner Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Surely Decemberists and Sleater Kinney now nailed on. Hoping that means Wednesday will hang around too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday's dates line up better with Green Man, but if I was a betting man I'd say Decemberists, Sleater-Kinney, Big Thief and Lankum headline with Yo La Tengo as sub or Garden headliner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lessthanwill1 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Think Sleater Kinney, Lankum, Slowdive, and Big Thief sounds about right and very good for headliners. Big slots likely for: Mdou Moctar, Baxter Dury, The Decemberists, Nation of Language, James Holden and Fat White Family. Predicting Two Shell for one of the late night DJ Big Top acts.

riverlodge Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Is the supposed Simon statement (paraphrase) "band we've always dreamed of since being at Glasto (early noughties)" factor still apply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleater-Kinney were one of about five artists on the big list mentioned at the start of this topic that could still potentially headline.

Yep, I think someone at BoTW messed up. I contacted the Barbican and they confirmed the shows are booked with tickets likely to go on sale in the next couple of weeks. 2+2 = 5, but I think this isn't to take the gloss of an EOTR announcement next week.

Surely Magnetic Fields aren’t going to play again so soon, particularly as they are a big act for EOTR. If we’re getting someone playing the Barbican around EOTR, then please let it be Cornelius!

However, Confidence Man have snuck in down the R&L line-up - they played Green Man, Forwards and Electric Picnic last year so if they're around for longer there's really only the one accommodating festival left.
