I'm still upset that we lost the Lagerittas last year.

The cocktail stand by the main stage had frozen margs, so you could pour those in a beer, but would've been pretty expensive

That's exactly what we did. They were also VERY STRONG.

They were excellent! Pity that they sold out of them though!

Close by the week before

LCD Soundsystem have teased 2024 dates, no idea when yet though.

LCD are not playing End of the Road, come on.

PJ Harvey - Belfast

The Halifax date appears to have a capacity of 7500, and Belfast 5000. Other recent headliners have played smaller venues in those areas, except Pixies who have headlined 8000 and 5000 sized shows in Manchester, so it is certainly not impossible that PJ is playing EOTR despite what others have said. Bristol area is curiously missing from these new dates. That said PJ has a critically acclaimed album and so far has been very careful in her selected venues and festivals, while I wouldn't say the same for Pixies, so my guess is that she is not playing EOTR.

I don't know whether we're just using this as a general line-up thread now but Manchester Psych Fest on August 31st is making its first announcement definitely this week and seemingly tomorrow (Thursday), which should give us the first definite indication of who's around that weekend.

(I also wonder if we might get the first EOTR announcement in December, they've done it before and a lot of festivals seem to be going earlier than normal)

Could well be wrong but had thought only time they did december was a one off knock-on effect of a cancelled covid year.

Going by eFests' own news updates, 2011 to 2013's first announcements were in December and 2010's was on 16th November 2009!

Ah good spot. It is more than a decade ago so a pattern has been established since. Also would guess they were a smattering of names but far from a chunky poster, as is now expected.

[SweepingTheNation]

FWIW two European festivals happening the weekend between Green Man and EOTR have made some announcements: Canela Party have announced Big Thief, Gilla Band, Ibibio Sound Machine, Metz, Protomartyr, Sheer Mag, Snooper and Wednesday, while Rock en Seine have Blonde Redhead, Soulwax, The Hives and The Kills. Additionally Fontaines DC are at Paredes de Coura the weekend before those and have already headlined Green Man, but I suspect they're borderline in size.

You would never guess EoTR influences my music listening 😀😀

Saturday of EOTR weekend. A few options here but I think we can pen Mdou Moctar in as a Woods sub or Garden headliner, he was listed for 2017 and 2018 and pulled out both times.

Good spot. A weak start for them this year, hope that’s not indicative of who is around (though MM is great)

If we're looking to fill the ever-popular artists-who-have-pulled-out-multiple-times slot, surely we must be looking at the long-overdue return of Damien Jurado.

[zahidf]

Gurriers are good. Baxter Dury woods sub i reckon

[jplewes]

Looks cool IMO, I like both Baxter and the Horrors as slightly more popular stuff and Mdou Moctar is awesome

Also saw Mui Zyu supporting Julie Byrne and was good. Could imagine at EOTR.

Sorry, for duplicate - came to the original comment via a search result - won't let me delete!

 

Anyway, both Baxter Dury and the Horrors should be excellent! Saw BD last summer and it was a unique, electric performance.

BC Camplight brilliant and hilarious in equal measure in Dublin the other night. Let's have him back, eh?

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