So according to this thread there are now 3 members of The Fleet Foxes rumoured or confirmed to be at EOTR! Is there any good reason that FF won't be the Friday headliner? If they are I have a companion, if not I'm on my own

As good as the prospect of the takeover is, if EITS (or whoever) aren't available we're going to be left with headlining bands who didn't headline the same festival last year because EOTR has committed to handing over the entire day to other specialist curators.

(Idea for next year: get a person/band to curate the stages for one day? I know in 2007 Howe Gelb had a hand in booking the Friday.)

I didn't actually think Cocteau Twins would be in the running for headliner, but you never know!

Explosions would be an obvious choice. No tour dates past 29th July yet. But can't see why they haven't been announced yet...

Maybe it will be a headliner not on Bella Union, but who used to be on Bella Union maybe?

Getting away from headliners, any chance we might get some proper rocking bands?

Gaslight Anthem

Frightened Rabbit

Drive-By Truckers

Battles

Archers Of Loaf

Les Savy Fav

Manchester Orchestra

Menomena

Olivia Tremor Control

Portugal. The Man

Rural Alberta Advantage

The Thermals

Wintersleep

Also still hoping for a return from Caribou and maybe appearances from Dispatch, Blind Pilot, James Vincent McMorrow, Ramona Falls and Shearwater.

Probably wishing a bit much :P . But just one good rocking band would make things a lot more interesting.

Some great choices there. Definitely agree we could do with some bigger, upbeat names. Probably wishful thinking but someone like Deerhunter would be amazing, pretty sure they've never played EoTR either. Or someone like Cloud Nothings or The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Or Caribou as someone mentioned would be amazing.
