£rd Headliner - Place your bets ....

[geofelgie]

I did mention the I'll Be Your Mirror thing a few pages back.

I wouldn't call it a festival......but then I don't know that I'd make a fuss of someone being a "festival exclusive" if they were doing something like that.

I'm still sticking to my "it is PJH, it is PJH, it is PJH, it's not The Decemberists, it's not The Jayhawks, it's not The Polyphonic Spree" mantra......so as to manage my expectations!

I really don't get the overwhelming sense of disappointment the Latitude attendees seem to be expressing. That looks like a pretty stellar bill to me. Lots of stuff I would see and would welcome at EOTR. If they don't want The National, Suede, MMJ, Bright Eyes, Deerhunter, BSP etc. I'll gladly take them.

[geofelgie]

i think there is quite a large, content and relatively quiet (relatively) middle ground, that is very glad to take those bands. i'm definitely in it, i like it so far.

I'm so over Blind Pilot, I had Three Rounds and a Sound in 2009 and really liked it, so was excited when they were doing live dates, finally.

Saw them as a support for Surfer Blood and was hugely disappointed, they're still doing the songs off that album with only two new songs as new material. What a let down, I've spent nearly three years listening to that album and they hardly had anything new.

So today's the day, my little chums. Frankly, I have lost all sense of where I am with this now! I am fairly certain that the third headliner is going to be no-one I had thought of. I will be unfamiliar with them other than a passing knowledge, and will then explore their catalogue, falling madly in love with them to the point that my entire EoTR experience will be based around my excitement finally to see my new-favourite-new-band live!

Or it could be Grinderman.

Oh, and congratulations on reaching Festival Freak status, Sue!

About 11am it'll be then. Right, must get on with some work until then.

[ethereal]

Would love Polly, but ATP's a festival. Other hope is Throwing Muses as I know they have a late summer festival booked for somewhere, though technically EotR is Autumn I guess (!)

[perfectpassion]

MORNING EVERYONE!!

Thanks Ben, I hadn't noticed! You will be catching me up soon. I think I'm with Shoeboex on the fact that it could be someone we have not even considered, however Ryan Adams (thanks Cortezuk) is a possibility as without him we would not be here. The first EOTR had hardly sold any tickets until Simon & Sophia managed to scoop RA and the rest they say is history.....

Yep.

Bored now.

[Sipperana]

[perfectpassion]

[Sipperana]

[shoebox]

I'm really, REALLY not bothered about the fact that the Doug Paisley show has sold out. I need new news!

[bikergroover]

Anyone know why "Mountain Man" and "She Keeps Bees" are not on the line up displayed on the main page? I'm really hoping Mountain Man will be there

[Sipperana]

Probably because they haven't booked them.

[riverlodge]

BTW: What a lovely forum this is (compared to another!)
