2013 headliners

[zahidf]

Beach house is one o agree with! Grizzly bear and frightened rabbit please as well

[SweepingTheNation]

Are Grizzly Bear near active again yet? If not then I'd gladly welcome Department Of Eagles/CANT (George Lewis Jnr from Twin Shadow is involved with the latter)

Surely time Owen Pallett, Bill Callahan and Andrew Bird popped by. Battles for the Mogwai/EITS slot? Panda Bear? Wild Flag? Tell you who'd go down a treat as a leftfield pick, Half Man Half Biscuit...

[Infinite Jest]

Judging by the number of Half Man Half Biscuits shirts I saw, I think they would go down wonderfully well.

Holy f**k for the Caribou slot? (If I keep saying this, it will happen!).

I can get behind Beach House and Drive-By Truckers and Frightened Rabbit, too. Puppyfest's list in general is interesting (what I've heard of it, anyway ).

Jeff Tweedy solo would be great (very different feeling to Wilco the band). Handsome Family and Jim White. Bill Fay. Bill Fay and the Handsome Family guesting with Jeff Tweedy....(IJ collapses in ecstasay...)

[wackojackohighcliffe]

Frightened Rabbit and Half Man Half Biscuit would be great (especially as I visited Lord Hereford's Knob this year).

[ljsawyer]

Jim White with a full band would be pretty much the best thing ever.

[Joe_the_Great]

Jeff Mangum curates piano stage

[Timberford]

I have heard from 3 separate friends/family of mine that have seen Beach House live on different occasions and all of them unfortunately said they were really disappointing. Basically they don't actually perform enough of it live and rely on backing tracks so it sounds exactly like they've just stuck a CD on. Shame because their last album was amazing.

I agree with the vote for Crystal Stilts (I can confirm first hand they are awesome live).

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti would be erm... interesting! Anyone see their performance on David Letterman? Weird. Would love to see them though.

Also agree with mentions of Purling Hiss, Animal Collective, Sufjan, Grizzly Bear, Panda Bear

To throw a few names in, not necessarily headliners...

Vetiver

Ganglians

Real Estate/Ducktails

Beach Fossils

Mechanical Bride

The Middle East

Lower Dens

Here We Go Magic

[binaryRooster]

Some superb suggestions here. The Handsome Family would be absolutely killer. i can imagine them getting a ton of new fans.

Swans would be an interesting prospect as well. Personally i would love to see Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks down there.

[GeordieMartin]

Personally I think Justin Townes Earle would go down a treat. I think British Sea Power need to return. Joe Pug with a band would be great. The Deep Dark Woods are born to play that festival and maybe some good Country/Folk roots stuff, Eilen Jewell? Israel Nash Gripka? I feel there's a few too many indie pop bands than there used to be and I would like to see less of them and more alt-country. Just my personal taste though.

[riverlodge]

great shouts already. for non headliners i'd like to add a few (for now):

menomena

rural alberta advantage

my brightest diamond

breathe owl breathe

field music

black joe lewis

ra ra riot

yeasayer (for the caribou role)

phantom band

[Thowky]

my brightest diamond

[Phildo]

FRIGHTENED RABBIT!

Oh, and HMHB, natch. Would also like to see Low again, higher up the bill this time - and the fantastic Soundcarriers.

But mainly Frabbits.

Oh, and Amanda Palmer.

Brian Wilson on the Garden stage would be magical. And I'd love to see CW Stoneking there again.

And isn't it time we had the Acorn and BSP back?

[perfectpassion]

Just to start....

Breathe Owl Breathe...good idea RL

AGNES OBEL

Cloud Control

The Mariners Children

Josh T Pearson (because I missed him this time)

Paul Thomas Saunders (just indulge me because he is cute)

Anyone from The Fence Collective

Danny & The Champs (as an alternative to Brakes)

Trogons

AND OTHER LIVES in a headline slot on the Garden Stage

[Yokel Again]

Other bands I'd like to see who I think may fit in with the EOTR vibe (was it me or was it less folky this year?):

Cloud Control

Michele Stodart

The Head & the Heart

Low Anthem (return of)

Iron & Wine & Josh T Pearson again - just cos I missed them

Lanterns on the Lake (return of)

[Infinite Jest]

Also, Fanfarlo.

I have heard from 3 separate friends/family of mine that have seen Beach House live on different occasions and all of them unfortunately said they were really disappointing. Basically they don't actually perform enough of it live and rely on backing tracks so it sounds exactly like they've just stuck a CD on.

[magick melvin]

Avett Brothers

Jayhawks

Gillian Welch

[shoebox]

Yep, I saw Beach House supporting Grizzly Bear at The Roundhouse and I loved them.

Bands I would like to see next year, who haven't played before (a few of these have already been mentioned):

Admiral Radley/Jason Lytle

Menomena

The Head & The Heart

Fanfarlo

Andrew Bird

Band Of Horses

Bill Callahan

Chad VanGaalen

Comet Gain

El Morgan

Eleanor Friedberger

Evan Dando/Lemonheads

Future Islands

The Forest & The Trees

Islands

Joe Pernice/Pernice Brothers

Local Natives

The Microphones

Milks & Rectangles

Miracle Fortress

Owen Pallett

Pains Of Being Pure At Heart

Pajo

Phantom Band

Port O'Brien

Real Estate

Rogue Wave

Rural Alberta Advantage

Sambassadeur

Sea Of Bees

Shins

Spiral Stairs

Stephen Malkmus

Tame Impala

Thermals

Titus Andronicus

Why?

Yeasayer

Broken Social Scene

I'm not greedy at all

[parsley]

Great Lake Swimmers

Sufjan

Iron & wine.

That would do nicely, with a bit of................

Woodpigeon

Wilderness of Manitoba

Harlowe and the Great North Woods

Horse Feathers

Mountains and the Trees

Jonathan Richman

Lambchop

Doug Paisley (highlight of 2011)

Tim & Sam's Tim & Sam band

Vashti Bunyan

and lots and lots of banjos.

[thedailygrowl]

Bon Iver, Gillian Welch and PJ Harvey would do me nicely.

Then again, this year is the only year since 2007 that I've wanted to see all three headliners, so they don't matter that much. It's the strenght of the undercard that counts. And now the Garden Stage is the second stage, there's plenty scope for additional awesomeness. Most of the bands in the list in the previous post would suit me fine too.

[RedLemon]

wilco. again. please.

but definitely, definitely, book the avett brothers

how do we get you a stage to curate?

maybe add this while you are booking it: http://pitchfork.com/news/43904-update-on-annie-clarkdavid-byrne-collab/

[Maoster]

Sufjan would be a dream come true as would Gilian Welch. The Flaming Lips would be spectacular on the Woods stage. Not asking too much then...........

Oh - just got my tickets for Ms Welch in November - who hoo!!

[Yokel Again]

I'd love to see Local Natives on the Garden Stage at some point. Maybe they could headline if their next album is as good?
