pedrogooch Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 That's a pretty solid 8/10 lineup to me. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llamasausage Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Lineup looks good to me Probably won't see Idles but it will be a good show for those who will. Imagine if they got James Murphy to popup over after APE, I'd flip my lid (won't happen). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robith Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 (edited) Despite our indifference, I'd wager solid money on IDLES having the biggest crowd of the weekend for the headliners (unless the millions of TikTok Gen Z shoegaze fans show up for slowdive) Edited February 7 by robith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadimmock Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 There is a lot to get excited about here. I’m very tempted to go for this one, but depends on a few more line-ups to be announced! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were, but the initial drop last year was nowhere near as strong as this - especially in the 2nd/3rd group of names I’d be surprised if anyone of particular note is added Superb line-up with the exception of Idles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweepingTheNation Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 I imagined there'd be civil war over IDLES but they're one of four headliners and surely nobody ever watches all the Woods headliners, and it says something great about the festival's reputation that they're headlining this and Truck, which is double the capacity. And look how very strong that second line is with a previous and two expected headliners, especially as that was the big letdown last year (as I said yesterday, Arooj Aftab was great but she was nobody's idea of a Garden headliner on announcement) CMAT is headlining a 10,000 capacity festival (Deer Shed) weeks earlier and she's in the third level! No Big Thief is a letdown especially with them being the last major Covid cancellation holdout but the GM weekend always worked out better for what they've so far announced. I've had a go at a speculative Clashfinder - it's relatively pointless at this stage because we don't have any day confirmations except BPB (and NewDad, who have gigs Friday to Sunday) but it shows where everything might fit together going on the graphic. https://clashfinder.com/s/eotr2024/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweepingTheNation Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Also, the email version has MC Yallah in the line-up but as she's not on the poster or line-up page I imagine it all fell through with her visa again, or it's pending but they don't want to commit just in case, and they forgot to take her out.

lessthanwill1 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 If they can add Deathcrash, Backxwash, Billy Woods, Moor Mother, Lonnie Holley, Brighde Chaimbeul, Lost Girls/Jenny Hval, and some of the acts from the to be announced Supersonic festival that I’m sure will be fantastic then that would be 👌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noisenoiseandmorenoise Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Definitely a drift away from some of them experimental acts which featured last year. Maybe that was a one off linked to touring schedules. Slowdive's touring/festival schedule is relentless. By the end of the summer they'll either be absolute machines or bloody knackered.

wolfamongwolves Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 (edited) Hopefully in the second anouncment, we will have a few of the more experimental acts from the crossover with Supersonic Fest Edited February 7 by wolfamongwolves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lessthanwill1 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 YLT | Fever Ray | Lankum would be a great set of headliners for me. Would probably skip Slowdive having seen them last year and probably again at Wide Awake this year. Acts I’d be extremely excited for would be Ichiko Aoba, Cornelius, Sanam, Richard Dawson, Blue Lake and Tara Clerkin Trio. Lots of others I’d be keen for like Jockstrap, Joanna Sternberg, Mdou Moctar, Sleater Kinney, Bonnie Prince Billy, Nourished by Time, Mary Lattimore, SLIFT, Water From Your Eyes and ML Buch. Lots to explore as well which is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that was a one off linked to touring schedules. I'm not sure this is entirely the case, there's a lot of ambient/electronic//noisy stuff down the list, and remember Supersonic that weekend hasn't announced anything yet. I make it 26 places (including a late night Big Top DJ) still to be filled with a greater number of first announcement names up top than last year.
