Green Man 2024

[Justiceforcedave]

Sharon Van Etten has a single date in the US in September. Could she come over for GM, APE and a couple of small shows of her own?

[sscrybaby]

Anohni?!?!

Dates done really align though...

Thundercat just announced at all points east as part of the Kaytranda day, is it too soon for him to come back? 

[Tomos_]

Would love PJ Harvey, The Smile and New Order to be the headliners. As others have pointed out, this combination is probably unlikely! I love the Pixies but have seen them a few times in the past five years now, so personally hope they aren't announced...

Would be better than pretty much any other touted headliner so far imo, but she isnt really a very green man booking so would say probably not. 

she literally never misses though live and is one of the last truly great living legends that arent too big for something like green man.

Yeah man i agree, seen her live a few years ago and she was amazing. Would definitely go down a treat if greenman ever took a chance on her

Would be amazing, but the Barbican gigs are listed on their website as Anohni & the Johnsons only UK shows this year.

Everything everything album out this Friday - could they be a Thursday headliner? Be apt with the mountain theme

Didn’t understand the hate for yo la tengo. 

Love Yo La Tengo, and the most recent album is a career highlight, but they’ve always seemed under-the-radar in UK terms.  (As in, as in aging DJ there isn’t a single YLT song I’d expect our audience to half-recognise in the way they would Pavement or Stereolab).   

my dream lineup would be Thurston Moore and YLT earlier on, Neil Young headlining.  Not going to happen, but it would be a perfect location and audience for him.

I think there’s a good chance of Joanna Newsom again - there’s been one US festival date confirmed, new live material last year and hasn’t played UK / Europe for years. Although  I think it would depend on if there is an album out this year.

Michael Head and the Red Elastic band deserve a good slot, and equally The Clientele (been around for 30 years, but now picking up biggest crowds of their career and a younger audience). I don’t think they are a name that would draw people in, but would be a good fit.

Couldn't find this myself. Thought it was only Crash magazine stating this.

What about Real Estate? New album out today. Maybe as a late afternoon mountain/far out?

Hoping for this - enjoying their new album. No radical departure from their trademark sound but some nice songs on there. Hopefully they come over to Europe in the late summer. Could see them being added to the Death Cab day at APE if they do

Very much doubt it. Album won't be out until the summer at least and, remembering the scale and ambition of her recent tours, she wouldn't tour it in the US until the autumn.

Of course, having said this about St Vincent a week ago, she's teasing something for tomorrow.

I saw! Believe she's announced a couple of live dates too. Would be a great headliner 🤞

[OddRon]

She's gotta be at Glastonbury, only European dates are in June so far, can't see her doing June and August in Europe. 

[Pej]

The Go! Team have just released some new dates. Would love to see them play GM

[CANTON93]

They should start giving us those wacky clues soon

If anyone is interested we’ve put out a new episode of our podcast talking about our favourite green man rumours ahead of the release tomorrow - it’s how to build a festival episode 8

I would simply die with happiness if Joanna Newsom was confirmed 

[sprocketrocket]

Is it beyond the realms of possibilities that we'd see Air playing moon safari? 

[CRxece_]

I'm hoping for Ride over Jesus and the Mary Chain for the Thursday headliner - Pixies would be a dream also, getting nervous!

Don’t tease like that. Would be incredible.

Talented individual, but proper 'marmite'!

Rightly or wrongly, a significant cohort of EOTR regular attendees are still scarred by her last attendance there, mainly 'cos she pretty much insisted that every other stage / act was quiet at the time of her performance. No option, watch her with no alternative. For that reason alone, I personally hope she is nowhere near a GM line up.

Great pod. Ideal pre line-up announcement listening

GM shared a few bands with Forward last year.

I think we can write off the headliners with them being so close, in both time and distance, to each other. However, Romy, Green tea Peng, Yussef Days or Nubya Garcia would be WONDERFUL.

Can definitely see Yard Act and/or Baxter Dury. Too right, either Greentea Peng or Nubya Garcia would make a great daytime/sunset slot on the Mountain Stage.
