First announcement

[RedRockRick]

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeep groan for Robyn Hitchcock (will he have washed that spotted shirt by September?) but otherwise really rather pleased.

I wouldn't groan too much just yet, until you know who he's bringing with him. You might get REM along with him, it's happened before.

Well, there's my favourite band in Tindersticks! Despite being a little bit disappointed by last year's festival, there's no way I can miss this. Just waiting till I have enough money to buy a ticket now.

Grizzly Bear, Justin Townes Earle and Richard Buckner are amazing choices as well.

Meh.

Oh dear, I do hope that No Direction Home will be able to match this with their initial announcement otherwise I may have to do a serious rewrite of my plans for the whole of next year.

Of those not mentioned yet, Justin Townes Earle and Driver Drive Faster are well worth a look. Saw the latter at Imploding Inevitable earlier in the year and was quite smitten.

Good first announcement. I have Vecktamist but never really got into it massively, so will look forward to Grizzly Bears set, particulalry after missing them at Glastonbury a couple of years ago.

Love Beach House's last album and not seen them, so that is something to look forward to.

Will, particularly look forward to seeing how this Bella Unions 15 year thing pans out, as lots of artists on that label who I'd love to see play (and who have played EOTR before). Also, heard a song by First Aid Kit on 6music yesterday and liked it alot, so another band to research.

One thing - I hate that they do the announcements just before Xmas, as I would love to buy a ticket but won't beable to afford it until much later next year, and am now worried it will sell out as more and more is announced!

Would love to see DEVICS at EOTR!

Jonathan Wilson would be most welcome. Especially if he brought Dawes and Jackson Browne with him.

[talulah]

Be grateful if you could save Jonathan for NDH please, as I can't make EOTR this year (Grrrrrr)

[riverlodge]

really very happy about grizzly bear, and also chuffed about beach house, delicate steve (he signed up again after failing last year, yay) and antlers.

wonder what the bella union thing will bring us - fleet foxes? EITS? among many others of course

[geofelgie]

I'd quite like a one-off performance of The Texas Jerusalem Crossroads!!!!

Czars reunion???

But definitely Cashier No 9 please!

[seadragon]

I have resisted thinking too much about EOTR 2012 up until now after mixed feelings after last year. Aside from the lovely people I know will be there, I'm still on the fence.

In the first announcement I'm pleased about The Antlers, Beach House, First Aid Kit & Grizzly Bear (although I've seen them all before more than once) and I'd like to see Justin Townes Earle & Tindersticks. However, there aren't any 'wow' announcements there for me and nothing that makes me want to run out and buy a ticket yet.

Come on...convince me someone?

[shoebox]

I've only listened to him since the announcement, but I'm loving Delicate Steve. Shit name, good tunes, man.
