I'd love Aldous Harding in one of those afternoon slots but I am guessing she's too big now.

Yeah would have thought so. 

Caught her first uk gig in front of about a dozen punters at Gullivers in Manc, she's come a long way since then... quite the transformation 

[mario man]

Got a ticket, yay! 

So Warmduscher must be a shoe-in for one of the late night Big Top shows, no?! 🤠 I’m not bringing any children this year so looking forward to actually being in the tent rather than listening enviously across the fields, ala Sleafords & Beak last year 

[Damon]

Any guesses on who's left to announce?

Some aussies hopefully... 

Tropical Fuck Storm

Amyl

The Chats

Spike Fuck

The Goon Sax

Id take any of them. 

Wouldn't mind seeing DIIV make an appearance. Was hoping Destroyer would show up again aswell. 

[The Nal]

Hopefully none of this tosh will appear

[Tomos_]

I highly doubt any of the above would make an appearance...

[Guy Incognito]

I wouldn't mind Working Men's Club being added but not fussed about anyone else from Victorious. 

[Sean1234321]

John would be a good EOTR Big Top band (assuming that is John x2 and not some other John).

[zahidf]

Book terrorvision for the garden stage you cowards

I believe it is that John, they're playing a lot of festivals for some reason - maybe some agent thinks they're the new Idles, plugging away for years before hitting paydirt.

I want to know what kind of festival Eve's agent thinks it is, assuming that's Who's That Girl/Let Me Blow Ya Mind Eve.

Based on previous years we've about another 40-45 music acts still to be announced. Can't imagine there'll be any really big names to come. Maybe a Garden sub or Big Top/Teepee headliner?

Blimey that's a huge number. If that is the case then I'm expecting a Garden headliner and some more acts for the Big Top. 

[RedRockRick]

I'm confident there are still some pretty big names to be announced, though the headliners seem done and dusted. Little of interest announced thus far on the americana front so hopefully that glaring omission will be addressed.

Crossing fingers and toes for Tyler Ramsey, I think he'd be a great fit. Super album this year too.

[Guy Incognito]

Subs - Aldous Harding, Little Simz, ....

Others - Whitney, Girl Ray, Big Joanie, Pinegrove...

Garden

I think you've probably got most of that spot on, although I think Aldous Harding would fit much better on the Garden stage. Plus I can see Richard Hawley subbing the Woods. 

It does highlight though that there is probably at least one Garden and one Big top headliner to come, plus various subs, so still some decent-sized names to come in the next announcement.

I agree but I think Aldous will have a similar slot to the one Cate Le Bon had.

intrigued why that would be, Aldous would be a perfect '2nd headliner' on Garden when (say) King Krule or Pixies are on.

don't forget that Cate Le Bon had been given slot after slot at EOTR for a few years, so maybe destined for bigger open stage, and Aldous is currently way more subtle & "Gardenesque"?

It's pretty much just because I imagine her taking a very prominent slot and seems to be playing the main stages/rooms at other festivals (Green Man, Le Guess Who?). Garden headliner would also be great of course. I predicted Deerhunter and Parquet Courts the incorrect way round last year so could definitely be wrong again. 

I wasn't aware of that but surely you could argue that the fact that Aldous Harding hasn't appeared so many times is even more reason for a main stage slot and a higher amount of publicity/PR.

Went to see Angel Olsen last night, first 40 mins in particular was stunning. 

Where will she play? Has to be in the dark!

Well she's headlining the main stage, so I'd imagine... on the main stage... at headliner time... in the dark...

Thanks for the patronising answer. (Clearly didn't know she was headlining). 🙄

I was there too. She was stunning and so was her band. Very much in moody arty character of the new album for the first half of last night's gig - dramatic and cinematic sounds that will be a perfect fit for the Woods stage. About halfway through, once her mug of whisky kicked in, the older songs came out, the lighting went up a notch and we saw a more intimate and light-hearted approach.

[shoebox]

Was at the London show last night and it was fantastic. She is going to smash it on the Woods Stage. Fully deserved of her headliner status, such a grandiose and epic show.

[SweepingTheNation]

In case you were still hoping, Oh Sees just announced a US tour encompassing the festival dates.
