Green Man 2019

[scatteredscreens]

The National are playing all together now in Ireland at the start of August, not sure if it strengthens their chances of playing this or not.

It's probably comparable in size to GM so would probably say it strengthens it if anything.

Father John Misty is playing the same festival in Portugal as The National, having both of them headlining would be very strong.

Would be a strong booking but I'm not a fan personally.

Good to see Car Seat Headrest are around as well! 

[SweepingTheNation]

Not that I think they will, but I love how there's a thought on here that Idles could headline Green Man while in another thread there's a debate about whether they're big enough to headline 2000 Trees.

If King Giz can, Idles can.

Nah no way. I couldn’t see a punk rock band headlining Green Man but even so, Idles are playing Boardmasters and are pretty low down the poster there.

think that would be perfect up against someone like First Aid Kit. 

[electronicfreq]

First Aid Kit would make a great Mountain Stage headliner

New Order for PDC. That's them, the National, FJM, Car Seat Headrest all in the mix. Think 3/4 is very likely.

Looking quite promising! 

Really hoping they've booked Sharon Van Etten and Stereolab as well. 

[Justiceforcedave]

Idles, Doves, New Order.....a guy can dream.

[dentalplan]

I like all three of those but it doesn’t seem like a Green Man lineup at all. New Order are reportedly at Blue Dot anyway.

Padre and The National seem fairly clear and straightforward bookings for two of the headline slots so far. I think they’ll look to get a female voice in as the last name but apart from Shan Van 3000 - who I expect will hit up EOTR - I don’t right know who it could be.

[kingcrawler]

Courtney Barnett would fit pretty well, though admittedly that's probably not the most exciting trio. Beach House would be ideal.

Judging by some of their latest tweets it seems Courtney Barnett won't be there, same with Spiritualized.

[dentalplan]

Grimes getting a headline slot somewhere would be cool. Don’t know if she would be a fit here though.

[Amy Lawn]

The National, Father John Misty, First Aid Kit would be dream-level stuff.

Agree that New Order seem a v unlikely fit for Green Man.

Could Jon Hopkins be on the cards?

Hoppo is supposedly as Blue Dot as well, so maybe not. 

FJM, The National, Beach House. Someone lock it in.

As someone who has been to both (and plans on being at both next year) I've entertained myself lately thinking about which bands you could see at both. It's a fairly short list! Idles, Manchester Orchestra, Car Seat Headrest, Frank Turner, Shame. That's about as many as I've got!

[Chawk]

Grimes definitely could play. Jon Hopkins played in 2012 and 2014, would headline Far Out now. 

Courtney Barnett and Spiritulized apparently not in this year.

Wonder if it’s cos they’re at EOTR?

The roll call of acts touring around GM ‘19 is pretty noice now. Disregarding UK acts, there’s already The National, FJM, Mitski, Big Thief, Robyn (tho apparently at Latitude), Jonathan Wilson, Kadhja Bonet, Car Seat Headrest, Alvvays, Yo La Tengo, Hinds and Japanese Breakfast - and it’s GM’s turn for custody of most of those. Not meaning to set too high expectations but that’s a nice looking selection.

Courtney Barnett was on Simon's (EOTR organiser) fav albums of the year list.

not sure how much he's involved now. EOTR is run by Lauren Down nowadays I think.

From an interview with Lauren earlier this year

"What goes into planning the lineup?

So much, I actually don’t really know where to start. Simon Taffe, one of the festival’s founders, books the bands. The lineup is really a reflection of his tastes and pulled together with input from everyone else who works here."
