I'd imagine Bassvictim are at the same time as Pulp though...

Looking at last years times, the Big Top tends to have nothing on during the headliners, so should be just before/after.

I stand corrected!!

[Olshansky]

the Madra Salach and Just Mustard clash is cruel to do to a fan of Irish indie 

[airwaves]

Wish they'd made David Thomas Broughton more accessible! 

[robith]

It really is one of their strongest ever line ups isn't it. Can not wait

Nobody mentioning the ??? slot on Friday Garden. Are we all just assuming it's Cameron Winter unless we hear otherwise?

Ha, they would be hyping the hell out of that if true.

Sweeping, what do you think about Ela Minis being in small font and might therefore be later that night instead of the headliner slot?

Very possible, Working Men's Club felt like an 11.15pm booking, but then it'd leave the rest of the day one short.

good shout. 

I hope so, as i prefer his solo stuff to the geese stuff.

Really hope this is the case. Garden Stage would be amazing. Though if it was widely known to be him would the demand possibly be too much for the Garden Stage? Or am I over-estimating his popularity based on Geese's popularity?

[LalanaCat]

Surely Working Men's Club must be at the same time as the other two Big Top headliners... it wouldn't make sense for them to be in the same font otherwise.

 

So maybe they'll either be adding one more name to the Big Top that day, or just starting slightly later than normal?

 

I don't normally stay up for the late DJ slot, but I'll need to if that's where Ela Minus ends up.

It's definitely not CW. He's too big to play the Garden Stage and they'd be hyping up this mystery act if it was him.

It's not Cameron Winter but I would be extremely surprised if he didn't do a secret piano set

Yeah, more likely. Although it does probably imply the whole band staying onsite an extra 24 hours just so he can play piano for 15 minutes.

What are the chances of any of the Brighton Psych Fest acts making it to the Folly for the late night secret set?

BelAir Lip Bombs. But think theyll be on in Brighton too late.

As well as being a two and a half hour journey, plus loading out and loading in times, don't think anyone else on the Green Man line-up will show up at EOTR.

What sort of time of day do the Secret Sets usually leak? Haven't been in a while.

Was impressed with the quality of who they got last year. Plus was surprised they had 3 on each of the first two days.

Very unlikely yeah but didnt someone do something similar before? 

 

Anyway, mainly hoping theyre not all acts who've already played earlier that day.

IIRC it was very late on last year, might even have been Friday.

 

I'm not sure how many slots there'll be this year due to the number of acts playing, I can't see right now where they'd fit more than one on Sunday. I do wonder if Isaac Wood might do a secret set, as surely he'll have to do something before the Phoebe Bridgers support dates, but that's a pure guess.
