2020 Line-up Thread

[Guy Incognito]

I guess I'm a bit of a hypocrite as I'll probably end up seeing the first half of Hot Chip before going to Sarathy Korwar. 

Cant see myself missing either Jonny Greenwood or Richard Dawson for the other two Woods headliners. 

[Mardy]

Yeah, no idea how many time I've seen Hot Chip, but it's never a bad gig. Always a life-affirming joyous experience, and exactly what I need for the Friday of the first festival in a couple of years. Back with a bang.

[Fat_Buddha]

I’ve never seen Hot Chip and I don’t intend  start now.

[airwaves]

Hot Chip vs John Grant?????

No contest

John Grant by a mile

😁

A campfire and DJs? Where would they even fit, given the only regular campfire is close to Tipi?

From the drinks section on the website

 

'bringing their whole Campfire experience to the newly named Campfire Bar down in the Gardens where Beavertown used to be. They will also be bringing some pals with them, including BBQ masters From The Ashes'

They're one of the best British singles band of the last 20 years. They're brilliant live. They are perfect for this.

I looked at their setlist for Standon Calling and got genuine chills

[swashbubbler]

I had no interest in seeing Hot Chip at all and intended to see a probably-disappointing-compared-to whenever-he-was-last-at-EotR John Grant set, but based on these comments I'll definitely see at least the start of their set.

I've never felt the need to buy any of their records but I saw them at Glastonbury a few years ago & was surprised how much I enjoyed them.

Like you say, they should be a perfect Friday night party - great fun!

[Vamagus]

Genuinely torn between Hot Chip and John Grant. 

Seen them both many times and I’m hard pushed to choose.

However as our first festival in 2 years, dancing to Hot Chip will be the way to go (there may be tear of joy as they give us back our happy place)

^This^ never really fussed... then caught them at NOS Alive in Lisbon a few years back. It was a fucking brilliant set and I've been gagging to see them again ever since.

Current Top 10 most-highlighted on the Clashfinder so far (clashfinder.com/s/eotr2021):

1. Stereolab
2. Squid
3. Dry Cleaning
4. Black Country, New Road
5. Hot Chip
6. Damon Albarn
7. The Comet is Coming
8. Warmduscher
9. Arlo Parks
10. Little Simz

All the usual caveats apply about the this not being representative of the whole festival etc. Having said that, any surprises there?

[sjseabass]

Well Stereolab are obviously top purely because they only have competition from the Tipi acts. Obviously not representative but is another thing to suggest the interest isn’t really there for King Krule, could see the site being quite empty by the time he plays as people go home early tbh.

No surprises in that lot or in the ones that don’t make it.

Does suggest people don't rate the headliners that much this year.

[robith]

I hope there's a bit of a wiggle on the final times. Looking at sparse bits of day only to have Squid, Chubbies, Comet and Anna Meredith all overlap with each other is a shitter rn

[Declan]

Penelope Isles / Hen Ogledd / Jane Weaver clash is painful. Especially, when there's gaps elsewhere. 

I think Friday's Big Top timings must be out. Bait is 90 mins long. 

[Born in the fifties]

Sunday is currently the clash nightmare for me, so hopefully some timings are out :

WH Lung / Fenne Lily / Black Country New Road / Crack Cloud

Arab Strap / Yard Act / Dry Cleaning / Big Joanie

[xxialac]

Some of the clashes can be resolved by correctly guessing and sticking around for the late night Tipi acts of course.

[wolfamongwolves]

Was really hoping Black Country , New Road would have been on the Garden Stage also shocking clash with Crack Cloud . 

Comet is Coming and Anna Meredith is also a brutal clash

Vast fucking lack of understanding from a scheduling perspective. Two biggest jazz names on the bill.

/I know Anna isnt explicitly in the jazz idiom, but you get my point.

Never heard Anna Meredith described as jazz before

I hate "modern classical" as a term or genre.

[Mardy]

Absolute clusterfuck of a Saturday afternoon with Squid/Comet/Chubby/Anna Meredith all overlapping.

it's the perfect build of getting out of your mind building throughout the day too, Peel me off the sky during Anna Meredith

[snipe]

Did times come out or are people just complaining about the clashes that are happening with the placeholder times in the Clashfinder?

The latter.
