It was the same weekend this year, they shared quite a few artists.

Could Death Cab For Cutie / The Postal Service fit this? Bringing their album tours to the UK at some point and just been announced in Portugal in late August

Looking more likely they're at All Points East given the teasers for it have been promoted by AEG.

Massive Attack have announced their own show in Bristol the week before, so I’m guessing they won’t be a headliner……

Simon's albums of the year: https://www.instagram.com/p/C0uBsgbtZNF/

ANONHI, Blur, CASISDEAD, Charlotte Cornfield, Craven Faults, Fever Ray, Golden Dregs, Joanna Sternberg, John Francis Flynn, Kassi Valazza, King Krule, Lana Del Rey, Lankum, Lemon Twigs, Lisa O'Neill, Mandy Indiana, mark william lewis, Mitski, Nation Of Language, Overmono, ØXN, PJ Harvey, Sleaford Mods, Slowdive, Squid, Sufjan Stevens, Tirzah, Yo La Tengo

Usually a handful in these lists that play the following year. Nation Of Language are in the UK the previous weekend on the bill of LCD Soundsystem's All Points East day.

Way (way) too big for EOTR unfortunately anyway.

Ah fair enough, I'm quite ignorant on band's standings ......... funnily enough, I think I've seen them 3 times, 2 indoor, incredible, 1 outdoor, it was a bit wishy washy .........

Good analysis and now I think about it, exactly same here.

Shame am seeing them outdoors next year…

That would do, provided you can fix the the Big Thief/Lankum clash. Is it a guess or do you have any insider knowledge?

A complete guess, although somewhat based on acts that are around (Big Thief, PJ, James Holden, Mdou Moctar, Fontaines, Protomartyr, Baxter Dury).

I reckon Sleater Kinney will headline.

This is the exactly the sort of speculation I need right now, even if it’s slightly over-optimistic.  Any news on Thursday headliners? I was thinking something like Lambchop or Yo La Tengo.  Or Sleater-Kinney 😊

Sleater-Kinney have just been added to Paredes de Coura two weeks earlier, as has Cat Power. They were actually someone I thought of as a potential headliner but it depends how long they're around for, I don't believe they have any other European 2024 dates announced yet.

EDIT: they were also on Simon's original wishlist as linked on the first page.

Cat Power has played before (the Animal Collective year), so she won't be the one being ticked off the list this year.

I was going to say that YLT have done the Thursday headline slot in the past couple of years but it was actually 2018. Seems much more recent than that.

That said, I'd be surprised if they were back so soon. As headliners anyway

Some great bands touring around the time of the festival. The smile playing Portugal same weekend so that's another one in the mix

[BlackFoxx]

Sleater-Kinney would be great!

[Hurray4theWhiffWhaff]

Also: Ezra Collective?

[The Nal]

The Smile to headline could be an option.

Anohni & the Johnsons?
