Bands for 2017

[Mash011]

Bo Ningen are a nice add, missed their glasto set but heard good things. Any word what slot/stage they're playing?

Awesome news........ Slowdive will be on Woods stage Thurs night, not Big Top as EOTR initially announced 

Glad EOTR saw sense, Thurs is getting busier every year and would be a shame if people couldn't of got in the Big Top.

 

 

Good insider info there, and definitely the right call by EOTR I reckon.  What I've heard of The Surfing Magazines so far is pretty great too, and with Bo Ningen as Tipi headliners it's shaping to be an excellent Thursday night again.

[Mash011]

Ah, Bo Ningen on against Slowdive then? Don't really want to plan for it since I'm not sure if we'll even be there, working with Big Green Coach so depends how early we get off.

J c satan won't be causing me any clashes. Bo ningen sound as good as I remember though.

I'll give them more of a whirl then, might have discounted them too easily.

Hell Death Samba is my favourite, so that might be a good place to start.

Moonlangingz and Slowdive - looking like a really good Thursday night.  Wonder if I can also catch Bo Ningen as well, if the Tipi is running later?

Ezra Furman was still going after The Shins finished last year, but we couldn't get in the tent. I'll probably choose Bo Ningen over Slowdive, personally, but Thursday is one of those nights where it's just good fun being with mates and having a few beers. The music has always been a bonus.

I totally agree, but it's interesting how Thursday is now more of "a thing" with Woods Stage headliners of some pedigree for the last two years, as opposed to competition winners and underground acts in the Tipi. Don't get me wrong, I used to love the old days, but things have simply moved on. I much preferred last year's Teleman/Shins combination to this year's, but each to their own.

Thursday is looking prety special to me.

Bo Ningen, Brix and Moonlandingz have each been excellent when I have seen them live.

Slowcoaches album is well worth a blast too.

Hope theres enough room in Tipi to allow a bit of coming and going.

I'm really impressed with the new Waxahatchee album, Out in the Storm. It reminds me of the softer side of grunge back in the early 90s, like Juliana Hatfield and The Breeders. Really good stuff and it'll be great to see some "rock" on the Garden Stage. Sunday is looking awesome from start to finish:

Vaudou Game > Nap Eyes > Rolling Blackout Coastal Fever > Nadia Reid > Julia Jacklin > Waxahatchee > Amadou & Mariam > Marika Hackman > Bill Callahan

It's interesting that Simon was sharing album recommendations about the first 3 of these acts on Instagram during the year, so he does give some clues away as to what might be coming.

Thursday Tipi looks great from start to finish. Not fussed about Slowdive but want to see Moonlandingz so I second your final paragraph.

Yet another area where EOTR wins bigtime over Latitude is the Thursday night. Relaxed, good programme, good food. 

[juliadevitt]

Du Blonde is another late and great addition; loved her set last time

[Tubson]

Do the headliners of the big top and Wood stage not clash?

[Yokel Again]

Big top usually runs later into the night, after the Woods Stage finishes. Try the clashfinder for times.

[shoebox]

Pretty sure they made if official that all Big Top headliners will start after the Woods headliners have finished this year. Which is great news as I want to see all three of Pond, Gold Panda and Japandroids.

So never having been before, how do the Secret Sets work?

- How many secret sets a day normally?

- Do the bands play the piano stage or the tipi?

- Are the sets normally short?

- Can you get turned away, as they are too crowded?

- What proportion are new names and what proportion bands playing a second set?

Sorry for questionmageddon...

 

[shoebox]

There will be a few secret sessions dotted around the whole site throughout the day, and after dark. These are all organised by The Line Of Best Fit, so keep an eye on their Twitter feed for announcements. Generally speaking they tend to be two or three songs. They generally take place at the Piano Stage, but have been known to pop on the disco ship and other random places. They're seldom overcrowded because of the off-the-cuff nature of them.

The after hours secret sets take place in the Tipi and you might get two or three bands playing. They do get packed out, because they're sort of expected. They will pretty much always be artists that have already played during the day, but could also be collabs between two bands (e.g the Crutchfield sisters being might do a P.S. Eliot set in one of these slots). Generally around 30 minutes or so.

Totally surprise artists are rare. Last year saw Wild Beasts not being announced until the day, likewise Jon Hopkins, but these haven't been a regular thing in the past. You'll also get guest DJs at the disco ship, these can be a bit of a surprise too.

Absolutely brilliant info shoebox. Thanks for the lowdown.

[WM Hall]

moonlandingz on the thursday? guess i'll be drinking tins in the campsite then...
