First announcement

[5co77ie]

I saw . Beirut as a headliner, then, maybe? Though seems strang to have them back a year after headlining EoTR. Metronomy, maybe? (I'm going to go out on a limb and say we won't see Vaccines or Franz Ferdinand...)

[Infinite Jest]

Ah, cheers for the info.

So, today's the day! anyone know the tiem of the announcement?

[shoebox]

Nope. Got my Twitter stream at the ready and am waiting anxiously. I love announcement days! Especially as it means I can start putting my EOTR 2012 Spotify playlist together.

[5co77ie]

the official site says it's down until 10:30am

[Infinite Jest]

Twitter and Facebook and The Official Site open in different windows. Trigger finger at ready.

[shoebox]

Grizzly Bear and Tindersticks!

Beach House!

[Infinite Jest]

Not bad and yay! ;-)

Ms Jest will be delighted with Tindersticks. What do we think co-headlining means? Headlining the Garden Stage? That seems about right for Tindersticks.

[Infinite Jest]

Beach House is one of the exclusives

I really like this announcement, might make my first trip to EOTR, or No Direction (living very close). I've missed the past few EOTR's even though they've had some of my favourite bands ever playing.

Every time I see No Direction, I read "One Direction" : (

RICHARD BUCKNER, ROBERT ELLIS, ROBYN HITCHCOCK, SLEEP PARTY PEOPLE, STRANDED HORSE & THE STRANGE BOYS

a pretty good first announcement.

Will wait and see for the other announcements though before getting a ticket. I really do not like the tindersticks!

Also announcing toady:

[shoebox]

Pretty great first announcement for me. Some much loved bands in Grizzly Bear, Antlers and Beach House, others I have a passing interest in (Jeffrey Lewis, Robyn Hitchcock, Tindersticks), whilst lots of new stuff to check out.

I'm happy!

I'll probably go: unless ticket prices are due to increase in the next few months though, will wait for the other main acts!

A typically interesting mix of artists and some good fits with the EOTR style/ethos. Very promising, especially as I already have a ticket for 2012. Next we need to hear about the dirge-rock and alternative-electronica acts!
