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

It comes from them being absolutely fantastic......having an immense live reputaion (kinda like Flaming Lips but better)......and their performances in the UK being extremely rare events.

Admitttedly their first album......beginning stages of....isn't that great.... but Together We're Heavy is brilliant and The Fragile Army is one of my all-time favourites.

They'd immediately rival Lambchop for bravest and best EOTR booking ever imo.

Maybe they'd be more suitable Garden Stage fare.....but I'm not entitrely sure they'd fit!!!!!!

[geofelgie]

I'd be extremely happy with any two out of Eels, decemberists, Polyphonic spree or Nick Cave.

Hope it's neither PJ Harvey or Portishead because I find both "admirable" but not enjoyable to listen to.

Same goes for Tom Waits actually - well since The Heart of Saturday Night anyway!

Flaming Lips would be ok - don't like any of their albums but the live footage I've seen has been spectacular.

Of course it'll probably be someone none of us has thought of!!!!

btw .........Really can't see how Polyphonic Spree are a "lesser" name than Beach House, Grizzly Bear or Grandaddy................but we're all entitled to our opinions!!!

I saw Polyphonic Spree on the NME Tour and I think that was back in 1995!!

They were good but seemed to disappear after that....enjoyable rompers!

I can't see them being headliners on the Woods stage but maybe Garden would suit them better

[geofelgie]

sorry comments are a bit odd given the London Forum has a bigger capacity than shepherds bush empire......anyway that was a virtually unannounced gig playing the dreadful Rocky Horror garbage.

Their first album sold over 250,000 copies in the Uk - perversely after they'd been dropped by their record company for poor sales!!!

Oh hey, no-one's said Spiritualized, have they? Could that be a possibility?

[Blannyboy]

Neil Young and Crazy Horse doing three performance in the UK next June.

The Eels doing the O2 Academy at Boscombe on 23 March next year.

looking at that BPI site a bit more (it's fascinating) I don't think we should set our hopes too high.

Beirut, Mogwai, Joanna Newsom, Modest Mouse, Wilco, Yo La Tengo also don't have a single certified album between them.

Decemberists it is then!

[zahidf]

Belle and Sebastian and Sigur Ros.

Holy Crap that's amazing

Also

Daughter, Palma Violets, Damian Jurado, Angel Olsen, Barr Brothers, Pokey Laferge, Serafina Steer

I'm going to have to buy a ticket asap. For a 10,000.00 capcaity festival, that will sell out sharpish.

[geofelgie]

Sigur Ros...............*&*&^"%^$&"&^$"&^$"&$^"&" Hell!!!!!

I would not have even dared to dream that!

And B&S and King Khan and the shrines.......and stuff to investigate.

Happy &%$%#&% Christmas indeed!!!!!

[ljsawyer]

Also not mentioned on the video are HORSE THIEF, JOHN MURRY, STRAND OF OAKS, and Woodpecker Wooliams who I have not heard of but sounds intriguing.

Again, wow.

Oh ..... personally not very excited about headliners - hoping the 3rd is a bit more NOW if you know what I mean.

King Khan, Horse Thief ...yay !

[Nick07]

Assume B & S will headline Garden Stage and they will get another band on Woods Stage for same day.

Hopefully next announcement will be a better one.
