Could be anything. (No idea what that face is either, I assumed they were gradually revealing this year's artwork)

Low?

[Tomos_]

'Always Up' is a song from the Low album?

[SweepingTheNation]

Of course, I'd been looking at the wrong part of the text - and that would go alongside the Facebook "still trying to work it out"

If it is Low I think they'd be a pretty good Thursday headliner?

Nah, can't see them on the Woods stage. They're a Garden Stage band through and through.

[eagles69]

so definite Low and Courtney Barnett!! The other one seems to be a toss up between Beirut and Metromony

[eagles69]

Going back to the writing at the top looks like Low and Barnett so I think it means Metronomy most likely

[Tomos_]

Where do you think Courtney Barnett would be on the bill? Headliner? I'm not sure she's quite big enough...

I would say headliner as it fits in with the female ethos at EOTR now that Sharon Van Etten wont be playing

Just noticed this from the original post spelling out more of Metronomy

Live versions of the DN album sounding pretty good!

I'd say they're bigger now then when they last played, but I'm not sure they're a Woods headliner size either. It's possible these three they're teasing are all Woods sub-headliners, or one is Thursday headliner.

[WM Hall]

Metronomy could easily headline. Headlined Brixton Academy and Somerset House in recent years. Have a lengthy and quite well-known back catalogue. If Bat For Lashes can headline, Metronomy certainly can.

 

That's not to say it's an interesting booking though...

[goldengirl]

Everything since the English Riviera has been underwhelming for me...

I'm hoping for Deerhunter, Pond and Animal Collective personally.

Courtney Barnett will headline the Woods Stage, that's a certainty, I would say. I don't think they're purposefully hinting at headliners, just acts that are playing.

[Guy Incognito]

Low headlining the Garden whilst Courtney is on the Woods stage would suit me fine. 

[Tomos_]

Eels playing a festival in Sweden on the Thursday (29th August) and Italy on the 1st and 2nd of September (Saturday and Sunday). Getting to Dorset for the Friday might be a bit of a long shot...

[Mardy]

I’ll be delighted if it is (as seems likely) Courtney Barnett. 

[Mardy]

And I’ll be even more delighted if First Aid Kit are nowhere to be seen.

I'd rather low clashed with metronomy.

[Mardy]

Low strike me as the quintessential Thursday night band, following Slowdive and Yo Lo Tengo. I'll admit to being bemused by Simon's choice of Thursday night entertainment on the Woods, but there does seem to be something of a pattern.

[wolfamongwolves]

I like the shout for Beirut good chance I feel. 

Feeling overly confident about Deerhunter and panda bear making an appearance. 

Sleater Kinney 

mogwai 

Courtney Barnett

Beth gibbons definitely sounds plausible 

A hawk and a hacksaw . 

And my dream every year Bonnie Prince Billy .
