2016 Wishlist

[eagles69]

I'm doing Primavera Porto this year as well as EOTR really looking forward to it never done a festival abroad amazing how cheap everything was

[Nick07]

Primavera Porto is amazing. 

Brilliant city too. 

PJ Harvey could play there but would predict her for here or Greenman. 

'Field Day are honoured to announce PJ Harvey for a London exclusive in 2016 on Sunday the 12th June'

Doesn't say festival exclusive

probably take off LCD Soundsystem and Radiohead then should b Porto line up shame about LCD but hopefully EOTR will oblige

[Nick07]

Greenman got some good things on underbill that would work here 

Jason Isbell

Miracle Legion 

Phil Cook

whens it announced again? 

[eagles69]

I'm guessing early next week or end of this one can't see it being too much longer. I was happy with Green Man anouncement top tier of bands either played EOTR before or not interested in them. Jason Isbell would b gr8 though or Sunflower Bean 

[shoebox]

They've replied to a whole bunch of people on Twitter saying "hopefully next week" for the first announcement.

[Nick07]

Greenman headliners are super dull but that's only my opinion. 

Could Father John Misty play here? Be a headliner now and never played. 

Polly Harvey? The National? 

Coukd Isbell play here too? I know the two have sold duplicates. 

[Nick07]

Love to see Destroyer here too

Just had that in reply to a tweet I sent last week

[Nick07]

This needs to be mega 

[lamstonite]

Do bands at green man normally not do end of the road then?

Be gutted if that's case as it would mean we're missing out on batttles Julia holter and floating points

[eagles69]

Headliners are not shared but mayb half a dozen acts sometimes shared.

Thinking of bands with something to promote, Animal Collective have a new album out soon. Deerhunter have a new album out. Would love to see Battles and PJ Harvey too.

Oh, and Radiohead have a new album out soon too...

i reckon the headliners will be three out of beck, super furry animals, the national, john grant, band of horses and animal collective

i reckon mercury rev, bob mould and father john misty will play. 

[dentalplan]

I think PJ Harvey and Animal Collective will be two of 'em. I had long thought FJM was nailed on but he doesn't seem to be around that late in summer so I'm not sure on #3. Also John Grant and Spiritualized in sub slots.

[SweepingTheNation]

Given his album reached number five I imagine Grant could easily headline by now.

Have any mainland European festivals around that time made announcements yet?

[dentalplan]

I dunno. It seems right that he'd headline but he's been seemingly under-billed at festivals for ages. Even this summer he's not top, maybe not even second top of the bill at Field Day while easily selling out RAH the week after. Hard to place but surely he'll be there one way or another.

Some mainland Europe festivals have made small announcements but not many EOTR type acts that I can see. M83, Lush, Thee Oh Sees, Daughter and Beach Slang around, and also Sigur Ros who I wouldn't expect to be back so soon. M83 might be an option for a headline slot but I dunno if they suit so I'll let someone else rule on that.

[Nick07]

Reckon the headliners will be three out of beck, super furry animals, the national, john grant, band of horses and animal collective - not sure on some of them - Furries headlined Greenman last year. Beck would be a major coup as would The National. The other three are possible. 

i reckon mercury rev, bob mould and father john misty will play - good call on these ones. 

[shoebox]

Not John Grant, not PJ (based on things I've heard). I can think of many, many bands the headliners could be, but am giving up pinning my colours to any mast. 

I will take any of the artists mentioned in the last 5 or 6 posts. Announcement will be in the next few days, so not long to wait now.

From a "lesser" artists perspective, I would love to see Shearwater return and I've been very much getting into Daniel Romano recently. He'd fit in brilliantly.

 

[Nick07]

Polly Harvey would be mega 

Can't see Beck playing although would love it 

[Nick07]

Announced tomorrow before lunch
