EOTR 2025 line-up speculation topic

[jplewes]

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah playing festival in Belgium 14 Sept, and two dates in Hackney later in the month. Could add EOTR and a few European dates earlier in the month?

They played EOTR wayyyyyyyyyyy back, so it's on their radar, and it would be great to see them again.

I believe Mardy is referring to acts who have maybe reformed but aren't releasing/playing any new music and just trading on nostalgia

Think that's a fair definition. I am against heritage acts on principle, but have seen for ex. the Jesus & Mary Chain, Slowdive and the Pixies at EOTR, none of which felt like a nostalgia acts.

Haven't JAMC and Slowdive put out new stuff as well as touring? Pixies have now released more since reforming than the first time around.

I have a feeling this was discussed earlier in the thread but Simon has said in an interview that he'll only consider a heritage act if they have something new to offer as well.
