Amyl and the sniffers two shows are around 25th October...... coincidence.......

They've been the headliner I've been most confident about 

[Sebwax]

Amyl & the Sniffers would be one hellova bag, but could they be too big now? I'd be really happy to be wrong.

 

They headlined Bearded Theory, a similar cap to Trees, in 2024 and played the same slot as Turnstile on The Other Stage at Glasto this year. I feel they've only continued to grow in popularity since the summer, even if their Spotify plays remain quite low in comparison. 

 

I was anticipating them headlining Green Man, as that fits with Oya the same month. They subbed GM in 2023, so it may still be too early for them to return to headline.

I think they've been announced for something in Europe in August so that could be a suggestion they're not about til later summer.

 

I'd rather they're not there, I'm just resigned to at least one headliner I don't like, there's always at least one.

Last summer they played from june-august in Europe so not a stretch to assume they'd be here for a run, suppose have to make the most of it coming from Oz

They're currently lined up for Oya, which usually shares quite a chunk of bands with Green Man. However, Kneecap played all three last year, so all hope is not lost.

As james and gav have recorded 3 pods in days in cluding the sarah pod i think it will be unlikely we get another band slip through before the announcement

Saying that there is still always a chance for a classic james accidental leak

They've got better at not having people leak it, except if it's themselves which they are very good at doing

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Could be up to 100 bands confirmed in the first drop

I'd say there was a fairly big hint that Unpeople are back, and maybe less of a hint that they might be on the Wednesday as he said Unpeople were the new house band for Trees and then quickly went into how good the Wednesday line up is for next year

Any indication on when? Jera on air is looking tempting, need a trees drop to make my decision 😂

Sweeeeeet

Half of those 100 bands will have played within the last two years. I always look at Trees’ lineups and think it’s one of the most repetitive festivals around. So much vanilla booked so often. 

[bingobear]

Just received my refunds. Remarkably simple process. Sure ill be a bit gutted but at the 3 Cure gigs in Berlin that weekend 

[kjvffm]

Is there any reason Neck Deep would

be out the running to headline? The are about the perfect size and have recently changed management. Sure they have nothing announced for next summer but that’s not unheard of for trees bands (Broco played this with 2 warm up shows as their only 2024 shows).

 

Maybe just a hope as I’m craving a pop punk fix since won’t be making it to MCR over the weekend.

There's no reason they'd be out of the running. Other than the top three at Slam Dunk, pretty much any (realistic) bands could still be in contention I think. 

 

The only thing going against them is James has said previously on the podcast that he tries to avoid booking too 'Slam Dunk' headliners which Neck Deep probably fall into.

It's possible for sure

Yeah they do a lot of repeats but there's a lot of Trees faves which is why. Every festival in this country is pretty repetitive 

[Mcbatesman]

There's also limitations on what bands it can book when you factor in: size of festival, cost of bands, genre target audience.

 

Sure he could probably sell the festival to a company who pumps money into to biggers bands like what happened with Truck (not disrespecting) but who would want that

[liamglastocrowhurst1]

If you take the wednesday out of the equation which is advertised as a returning bands day.

 

The fest does generally well not to book too many repeats though last year had more than other years from but the neu stage was manly filled with bands playing for the first time and most of the headliners hadnt even played the festival before 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Another note from the podcast is only one headliner from Trees & ATG combined is someone that has headlined before, which is more than likely ATG given its smaller pool of headliners

Just seen the new email. First week of November and they're releasing 35 bands and 1 headliner.

[Mcbatesman]

Email has me confused slightly, so is it the Wednesday headliner that they are announcing?

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Very strange to go with the same week as Download. Backs up the idea in my head that Creeper are headlining Wednesday and they're waiting til after their gig next week
