Predictions for 2018

[wolfamongwolves]

Just an ok from me. Titus decent booking loved the monitor not been keen on much since. Nice to see josh t Pearson back would have been even better with lift to experience. Return of billy childish is good it’s been a long time. Return of Jonathan Wilson. Was hoping for some late night big top booking more electronic. Dan Deacon next year maybe,

I agree that the place to start with Titus Andronicus is the greatest album ever released, The Monitor.

I thought that Ocean Rain was the greatest album ever made. At least Ian McCulloch thinks so!

You do realise I was taking the piss, right?

Yes, but I thought the base of the joke was that getting Titus Andronicus from that tweet was a stretch so that’s why I brought it back up. I’m just mucking about anyway.

Ah you're right I completely forgot they did it in 2009. But that was before The Monitor tho so does it even really count.

Yeah I don’t really believe anyone was in the crowd to confirm their appearance.

I just wonder if Titus are doing the acoustic show, they're not even written about in the story version of the announcement: http://endoftheroadfestival.com/2018/03/josh-t-pearson-wild-billy-childish-ctmf-lucy-dacus-added-2018-line/

That said, it does also claim of Billy Childish "This will be his first ever appearance"  So who was that I saw in the Big Top in 2008?

[paulwa]

It also says it's a debut for Lucy Dacus. Nope, I saw her in the Tipi 2016. Maybe she's bringing the band this time instead of solo.

Ha! They've really messed up in a few of their communications this year. Claims that St Vincent and Yo La Tengo have never headlined before are the ones that have got me.

Yes I watched Billy in 2008 . Who can ever forget that fantastic moustache. 

[shoebox]

Billy's a local lad and yet I've never actually seen him perform. Seen him around town plenty and his face is plastered on a wall in Rochester now. Makes a change from all the Dickens nonsense!

Yes, she is bringing the full band.

Excellent. I saw them at the Crofters Rights in Bristol with about 10 other people, having seen her solo at EOTR. They're a good band and I hope they stick them on the Garden Stage this time.

I was really hoping for Mary Gauthier - Rifles and Rosary Beads is amazing - is the line-up full now?

They've said "more to come." Can't imagine there'll be more than 15/20 acts announced. Probably comedy + literature is mainly what's remaining.

Hookworms, Flatworms and Cutworms! Early birds will enjoy catching them presumably...

St Vincent is bringing back her band for festival season: 

“I am mounting another version of the ‘MASSEDUCTION’ tour, but with a band this time,” she told Matt Wilkinson on his Beats 1 show. “We’re headed into festival season, and I had such a good time doing the solo theatrical show – but now it’s time to do a rock show.” - NME

Personally very happy as I saw her in Brixton and did not care for it at all. I've heard great things about her live show with a band though so this should be great

[Mash011]

Vampire Weekend announced as subbing the main Lollapalooza in Chicago - really drives home what a great booking that is for EotR.

They played on a small stage last time I think

[WM Hall]

They played the late slot in the Big Top. Can't say I'm a fan... but ay each to their own

Been climbing the line ups since though. Subbed the Park at Glasto last year which isn't a small slot.

[Mardy]

I see Childhood have been removed from the lineup. Bit of a shame as their poppy, funky, sunny thing was a nice counterpoint to swathes of melancholy singer-songwriters/noise merchants/bands with 'worm' in the title. Ach well.
