Finally saw BCNR post-Issac this evening at Bush Hall.  Thought it was pretty average tbh and a bit disappointing.  Think I saw @JHad in the crowd but didn’t spot you afterwards, hope you enjoyed! 

I also thought this both times ive seen them. I am hopeful though that an official release of the songs will make it better. There's lots to digest and I think a lot of the new stuff leans itself more into a studio recording with the gentle details to some of the songs.

I have bought a ticket to see them next year in the hope the album will be out by then. If not, I will likely sell the ticket as I want to digest the music beforehand.

Walkmen nailed on!!

Plus, I reckon Les Savy Fav are also a shoe in and I can’t wait.  One of the best bands I’ve ever seen.

 

[lessthanwill1]

More for Paredes.  I’ve been thinking Fever Ray would be a really cool FO booking, maybe as a headliner/after dark act.  Like the new singles she’s released, new album out next year. 

 

[Enkidu]

Shaping up to be another great lineup, no surprises there. Wondering if we should make a spreadsheet like they have for glastonbury. 

[collectivisedfarming]

I'd love to see Fever Ray again, I guess they'd be a far out headliner if they did? And wilco a headliner. I've never seen Wilco before. Kokoroko, Les Savy Fav and Tropical Fuck Storm would be very welcome from that lineup too.

Wilco are also playing Moseley Folk Festival so I suspect they'd be more likely for EOTR that same weekend.

Have been trying to keep the list below updated. It’s not comprehensive!

The possibility of Devo and The Walkmen is pretty exciting imo.  I’m not a mega fan of either (but like them) but neither have played in the U.K. for a long time as far as I’m aware.  I think Devo last played in 2009 and The Walkmen in 2013 (including at EOTR, where they played 2nd down on the 2nd stage).

We really need to swerve Jamie XX, he is certainly not up to scratch for any headline slots after seeing him at Forwards in Bristol and watching the mass exodus of people about 20 minutes in.

I really want Iggy Pop!

I'm reality though, almost all of those you've listed I'm either already a fan of or would go to see through curiosity.

First time I've begun to feel excitement for 2023 really, seeing this and the acts that are around!

[lessthanwill1]

Staples Jr Singers added to Haldern Pop so that’s two festivals in Europe they’re doing early August.  Hoping they stick around for GM!

I’ve not seen him before so can’t comment! I wouldn’t see him but I wouldn’t be totally against it as I quite like the variety an electronic act brings to the headliners.

Yeah Iggy would be great.  He’s on 6music a lot so I’m surprised he’s not done it before tbh.  Maybe this year is the year! 

Agree that there are some great bands around at the right time this year already! 

[lessthanwill1]

Is Fred Again out of the question for GM?  Booking Bicep last year suggests they’re capable of/interested in booking pretty huge dance acts.  

[lessthanwill1]

Fri

MS: Sigur Ros / Alvvays

FO: Fever Ray 

Sat

MS: Little Simz / John Cale

FO: Osees

Sunday

MS: Yeah Yeah Yeahs / The Walkmen

FO: Devo

Would be strong. Not sure John Cale would be that high after subbing the second stage at EOTR a few years ago but you never know. Fever Ray and Devo would be very cool but Sigur Ros and YYYs don't really interest me these days. Simz would be excellent but saw her a lot last year. 

I think all three headliner predictions are very possible.

Seeing a few posts about him clearing fields. What’s so bad about his sets?

It might just be me but in a live setting I just don't vibe with it. I can't get on board with his more recent stuff, which is what it all is.

His Park headline set at Glasto 2015 was incredible. Reckon he'd smash it at Green Man.

Also all this talk of The Walkmen is getting me very excited.

[1986]

Sorry if this has been asked but is there a roundabout time of year we should expect something to drop? Their first poster tends to be pretty full doesn't it?

Probably around the end of the month if previous (normal) years are anything to go by. Here are the dates of main lineup announcement from last few years. There are always some added later (including some headliners sometimes), but as you say, the first poster tends to be fairly full:

10 Feb 2022

16 July 2021 (COVID uncertainty)

29 Jan 2020

29 Jan 2019

25 Jan 2018

26 Jan 2017

Late to this post, but HONESTLY I'd be over the moon if this was the line-up, ESPECIALLY with Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Sigur Ros AND UMO there 😄 BRING IT ON PLEASE 😄 

[SweepingTheNation]

I was trying to sketch out a headliner prediction and realised while there's a lot of potential Far Out headliners and Mountain subs there's not a lot of potential candidates around, especially British ones. YYYs and First Aid Kit are decent shouts but the domestic names that this thread has suggested are either maybe not big enough (John Cale subbed EOTR's second stage last time he was over during festival season) or unlikely (Simz)

[DDave]

Pavement are around again this year, albeit 3 weeks earlier than GM. GM follow them on twitter (as they probably do a lot of bands) 

 

[scatteredscreens]

With them seemingly releasing a new album this year, and whilst they may be too big, I'd love to see the national at Green Man one year.

"The" band of my adult life, a self confessed Sad Dad, and having seen them a dozen times (first in little old Rescue Rooms way back for Alligator) this would make me weep with joy. And I don't think it is impossible.
