Suggestions for 2010

I notice Green Man have got Beirut and Field Music, what chance for EOTR??

[DragKnuckles]

Unlikely, I suspect, as EOTR and Green Man, probably deliberately, don't tend to duplicate larger acts. (In fact, after a quick check I can tell you who played both in 2009 - Beth Jeans Houghton, The Leisure Society, Dent May, She Keeps Bees, Vetiver and Zun Zun Egui)

However, I wonder given it's the same weekend and just across the water how many of these might also be doing EOTR - http://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/10/100204e.shtml

I was at the newly refurbished (hmmmm) Borderline on Friday for Grand Archives. I said to Mat Brooke after the show they should play EOTR: he said they'd love to; I said are you at SXSW?; he said yes; I gave him Simon & Sofia's home addresses, home and mobile numbers: done deal, I think.

One of my favourites from last year was Explosions In The Sky. Been listening recently to an Irish band called God Is An Astronaut and they're in that Explosions/Mogwai mould. Really very good. Could be worth a shot at EOTR Simon/Sofia if you happen to glance at this thread

On a similar theme, And So I Watch You From Afar or Codes In The Clouds would be a good call.

Belle & Sebastian have a new record out this year and I hear they are touring 'towards the end of the year'. Possible headliner ? Same for the National.

Just think The National, Wilco & B&S as headliners. How good would that be !

Saw Midlake in Dublin last night and it was a special gig. 2008 was my first EOTR so I missed Midlake's 2007 appearance. Would love to see them at EOTR this year. By Sept with several months of touring behind them, their profile could well justify a headliners slot on the Garden Stage. Or perhaps I'm just getting carried away....

Hopefully Arcade Fire are not to greedy and condescend to play the nice little End Of The Road Festival, I've read they're planning to tour in August/September, would be too good to be true.

Again, that would be amazing, but I heard that they're playing Bestival on an exclusivity deal. I really hope I'm wrong, as that would be fantastic and a massive coup for EotR.

oh, ok, good to know

well, then lets hope for The National and Belle & Sebastian

Would be great to have some Post-Rock again, for example Slow Six, they released a wonderful album this year.

I've just seen that Tim And Sam's Tim And The Sam Band With Tim And Sam are playing at Bestival. I'd love to see them at End Of The Road!
