Don't know about dropouts, but MC Yallah & Debmaster are playing Supersonic that weekend having dropped out of it and EOTR due to visa issues last year, and Vagabon and Altin Gun who were both due to play in 2021 are in the UK/Europe that weekend. There might also be some more shares with the various Psych Fests that weekend.

Pretty certain Jessica Pratt is in the next announcement

Also maybe Beth Gibbons as final Garden headliner?

A bit ambitious I’d say.

What day for the announcement is likely?

[SweepingTheNation]

New York experimental pop act Chanel Beads have EOTR listed on their label's site.

On checking previous years, I find that they've consistently released the second list of line-up additions right after the Liverpool v Everton game, so I guess that'll be 09:50 on Wednesday evening.

Fingers crossed for more good names perhaps today and also hopeful of getting the comedy lineup in the next week.

Not sure we'll get anything today, but I notice the synth-post-hardcore band MSPAINT have been announced for UK dates on the 28th and 31st.

Let’s have some great new names this morning please. Last year’s second batch were so strong.

[xxialac]

Not terrible but a bit disappointing

[iamdiceman]

Personally very happy with this but was pretty happy anyway, MC Yallah and Billy Woods in particular are very exciting.

[SweepingTheNation]

Think this is quite exciting, didn't see Billy Woods coming, Still House Plants and Chanel Beads are fascinating prospects and the descriptions of a few of the others seem promising. Will get to a Clashfinder update imminently.

Very happy with that. Richard Hawley a very pleasant surprise

[wolfamongwolves]

Billy Woods, Senyawa, .Mc Yallah & Debmaster 👏🏻👏🏻

[noisenoiseandmorenoise]

2 album of the year contenders with Laetitia Sadler and Still House Plants.

[zahidf]

Overall, i think its the best line up in years, and one of the best festival line up in the UK this year. 

[accordionandvoice]

Really good announcement!!! Will defo try see Richard Hawley, Billy Woods, Senwaya, MC Yallah and Still House Plants

 

Glad to see more leftfield and non-rocky stuff on the bill 

 

 

(and yes I got the Jessica Pratt call wrong haha)

[wolfamongwolves]

Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up 

Best line up in years 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Playlist of the whole lineup: 

 

 

 And one just of today's additions: 

 

Both in my usual format - songs are (as far as poss) those most played by each act over the last year or so; 3-6 tracks each, higher billing = more songs; in website order (oddly the new poster cuts off a load of the lower acts to squeeze in all the new ones).

 

It's a superb lineup - stick these on and find yourself some new must-sees.

Agree with this. Verging on too much to see.

Richard Hawley has got to be a Garden headliner btw. Sleater-Kinney to be sub-headline on Woods??

Yeah I'm thinking Richard/lankum/yo la tango as garden stage headliners.
