Tickets on sale for 2013, so about time we started the wishlist!

[M.G.Frogworthy]

Only one big and one small? Who made you God?

Anyway:-

Deerhoof

The Other Cheek Turners (excellent secret gig at 2012 in woods!)

The Blasphemers

Atomik Harmonik (but only if they play Traktor Polka)

The Dyslexic Luton Girl's Chore

[acstalker]

I suspect these will be nailed on certainties:

Allah-Las

Lord Huron

Polyphonic Spree

Thee Oh Sees

Not long now...

Just confirmed 1st headliner, an amazingly special band and will be announcing next week, have a good weekend!

Biggest might not mean "popularity", but "size". Whether that be number of members (Polyphonic Spree) or actual size. Maybe it's The Tallest Man On Earth, and they've got confused.

Whoever it is, the anticipation is building and I'm poised by Spotify, ready to compile my 2013 playlist!

Fingers crossed for Olly Murs.

[Blannyboy]

Hmmm, the final of X Factor this weekend and an announcement next week - could we be looking at the winners headlining

[geofelgie]

Eels have had 7 top twenty albums (two top ten) not to mention a few hit singles - all of which is way ahead of The National, never mind Mogwai or Joanna Newsom.

Worldwide their album sales are in the Millions.

I still pick The Polyphonic Spree though - but only really cos I haven't seen them before.

Can't I have both??????

And The Decemberists! ;-)

I think, given the comments, the favourite must be Nick Cave (having been persuaded by Warren) though.

[Infinite Jest]

I love this time of year, I feel like the old Kremlinologists must have felt, trying to work out exactly what the cryptic messages coming out of Moscow meant.

To add to the debate: "the most special headliner and certainly the biggest act to ever play EOTR" could technically refer to two acts

I'm starting to like Zahid's argument about the National - it's exactly what happened with Patti Smith last time where she was announced straight after Hop Farm. I thought they might be too big, but maybe not. Geof's argument about Cave makes sense too. I wonder about Eels seeing as he's over here in March? But then the timing might fit as he's had a while to sell tickets to his own shows. Any of National, Eels, Decemberists, Nick Cave, PJH would be fucking amazing. Don't know Polyphonic Spree at all.

[SweepingTheNation]

While they might play the headliner isn't going to be Polyphonic Spree, they've not permeated the wider conscious for quite a few years now. If it is a properly huge headliner I'd go Cave too, they've got a new album impending and we know Warren's keen on the place.

We'd all love to see Joanna back, especially if the rain holds off this time.

Think there's a chance they might announce it at the Christmas party?

Ha! Ultrasound. The Gossip. Rene and Renata. Barry White. Montserrat whatshername.

[ljsawyer]

Pixies?

[Nigey_boy]

Neil Young?

[wolfamongwolves]

neil young would be in my dream line up. greatest show i have ever seen by far. i think our lovely eotr is far too small for the main man. but one

can dream. i think maybe my morning jacket, the national, or animal collective.

[thespiral]

My Bloody Valentine .....

[RedRockRick]

Keep the underwhelming suggestions coming!

[nigeyb]

I've got a feeling for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and/or Arcade Fire.

Please could I put in a request for King Charles and - new, wonderful band - Hot Feet.

Smoke Fairies would be great too.

Oh, and Bill Fay would be just perfect.

And finally, see The Growlers back again would be very welcome too...
