2026 line-up speculation

This is a misquote. I said "irrelevant to the festival" as in, it is highly unlikely that they will be back as they will be mega. My point being that the festival has a spirit of raising someone up if they feel it fits rather than picking the biggest name available.

Anyway, I thought this was a speculation thread not a sh*t on the speculation, so moving on...

 

In every single speculation thread people express positive and negative views on potential names. 

I actually like Richard Dawson, I just would prefer he doesn’t use up a Garden Headliner spot having seen him a couple of times recently at EOTR already. And I’m not the only one who likes EOTR keeping the lineups fresh.

Broken Social Scene are over in Europe and playing Dublin and London on September 9 and 12.

 

So close and yet so far : (

dare i say it'd be criminally irresponsible to not book Broken Social Scene for the festival

[SweepingTheNation]

Worth pointing out, of course, that it's a Metric/BSS/Stars joint tour, and all three of those are not flying over days early just so one of them can play a festival date.

Tickets for sold out Geese in Amsterdam are currently selling in the secondary market for about 600-700 Euros.

LOS THUTHANAKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

absolutely elite live experience, incredible record, proper 'out there' booking for the fest. will be incredible

[robith]

Great additions imo

[The Nal]

Fantastic work! Some great stuff in there. 

[oochie]

Great names!

 

Do we feel like there's a Garden stage headliner amongst these? I'm unsure!

[SweepingTheNation]

I have a problem here, which is that there are nine more artists than last year (with Next Wave winners to be added) and I don't know where to put them all unless the Folly secret sets are being axed and/or Big Top is opening on Thursday.

could easily be Earl Sweatshirt & Mike imo

[carrierbagman]

I think it should be Earl Sweatshirt really, he's been consistently one of the best rappers going for over 10 years now. Depending on how the album with Mike turns out I could definitely be swayed to miss CMAT or Mac Demarco for him

 

[xxialac]

Yeah to of their list and definitely garden headliner worthy.

[carrierbagman]

Keen to hear how Rostam (formerly of Vampire Weekend and hugely successful indie/pop producer) new album turns out too, supposedly Americana with Iranian influences

[paulwa]

I haven’t been able to avoid seeing Angine de Poitrine online recently. I was pretty convinced we’d get them. 
 

 

[ElGanzo]

Delighted with Ratboys and Ryan Davis. Plus what sound like a few very interesting other bookings.

literally first time i'd ever heard of them was this announcement. funny how it works out ahaha

[Looother]

Several acts here who I'd be pretty happy to see - Derya Yildirim, Ryan Davis, Deary, Way Dynamic, Rostam, Brother Wallace - so though there's nobody I'm a huge fan of it's still a pretty good second announcement. The Green Man lineup is still much better from where I'm standing, but there's enough here for me to be a pretty happy punter (and I'm doing GM too). 

[Olshansky]

thrilled about Deary and Los Thuthanaka!

Have never done both but seriously considering it this year - if I get lucky with a resell ticket for Green Man that is.

eotr line up wildly superior to green man line up this year, not even comparable in my opinion - the eotr undercard is so much stronger and more interesting. love the direction eotr is taking

Talking Heads often has an hour between sets.  Possibly more there?
