EOTR 2025 line-up speculation topic

[killyourtv]

Great to get Lisa O'Neill after she couldn't make this year; her gig at Halifax Minster was the best thing I saw in 2023.

Saw her last night at the Barbican with an orchestra... it was incredible! Reckon she could headline a stage with that show. I'll be delighted to see her in the daytime though. Hopefully in the same Garden slot from last year.

To any insiders on here.. would love to see Waxahatchee headline the garden stage. 

[accordionandvoice]

for the record there's a difference between being an 'insider' and just knowing stuff (i'm the latter)

Now that 2025 is underway: who do we predict will be added to this year's lineup?

The festival posted a Squid interview on their IG stories a week or two ago so with a new album coming I'd guess they're back, maybe even Garden headliner.

 

Not a lot else suggesting itself yet but from the Psych Fest line-ups I'd expect George Clanton and Anna Erhard.

[iamdiceman]

A few of my guesses/hopes: Mabe Fratti, Fievel Is Glauque, Dean Rodney Jr. & The Cowboys, Naima Bock, Moin, Horsegirl, Shovel Dance Collective, Astride Sonne & Moor Mother.

this is the kit + bc camplight

 

doing mosely folk (with father john misty)

[RedRockRick]

Well, hopefully not too long a wait for some more names. The announcement already made listed 18 acts. Last year's announcement was at the end of the first week in February, and was 100+ acts. A top-up to redress the balance shouldn't be far off. Obviously there's a headliner space reserved for Allo Darlin', who are back on the road later this year. Understandably there was utter pandemonium at Taffe Towers with the new album still unreleased by the August bank holiday last year.

Fievel won't / can't afford to / have said they aren't touring outside the US for a while. Large band with members distributed across the US and Europe. Logistically challenging...

Hadn't seen that. Such a shame, a brilliant band. I am lucky enough to have caught them previously.

I would caution that there seems to be a touring act from the US every year that starts a UK tour a few days after EOTR (or during it in Jeffrey Lewis' case) and doesn't play. Even Wilco one recent year.

Hoping for any of The Weather Station, Waxahatchee, MJ Lenderman, Mogwai, Kelly Lee Owens, Nilufer Yanya, This is Lorelei, Moin, Godspeed (that’s todays list anyway). Would also like to see Nourished By Time back. Can’t be long now before an announcement is made?!

[bobbyperu]

Another Manchester Psych Fest announcement including a few EOTR staples 

 

“After last month’s first lineup reveal, Psych Fest has added a huge tranch of new names, including critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter Nadine Shah, Manchester synth-pop band W.H. Lung, psych legends Gong, Melbourne rockers Tropical f**k Storm, Seattle alt-rock favourites Chastity Belt, the multi-talented Du Blonde, Canadian dance-rock outfit La Sécurité, dream-pop duo deary and genre-pushing band Famous.

But the organisers aren’t stopping there, with more names such as Hindustani psych rock from Karma Sheen, London-based punks Ghost Car and Irish trio Adore, eclectic post-punks Rabbitfootall joining a packed 2025 lineup topped by Goat, Deadletter, George Clanton among many others.”

Sort of glad someone else said this, Mogwai would be definite headliners for one. Also it looks like Lenderman's doing Green Man.

[zahidf]

Yeah no way Mogwai are playing EOTR ( same with godspeed). Waxatchee is Hammersmith Apollo, so wont play unless headlining

I’d agree re Mogwai (somewhat wishful thinking on my part as I was listening to their new track at the time) but I’m not sure I follow the logic that the others won’t play because they’ve not been announced already - they’ve only announced 18 acts so far, and (perhaps with the exception of Goat and Mount Kimbie) to me the undercard do not look like obvious contenders for the headline slots on the garden stage or in the big top. I’d say Waxahatchee would be perfect for a garden headline slot (is playing at Hammersmith really going to rule that out?). Re MJ Lenderman, hadn’t appreciated he is at Green Man, is that confirmed?

Nothing will be confirmed until March 1st in all likelihood but given he's in Europe (at Paredes de Coura) that weekend and GM reposted an IG Story of his a few weeks ago I'd say it's very likely.

It's not going to rule her out, just artists of that scale aren't usually headlining the garden. I'd have said they'd put their best foot forward with their first announcement. And on the history of this festival, I'd have said a lot of those acts would've been high up. I also doubt with their health Godspeed would come back to Europe so quickly (and I don't think they're big on festivals anyway)

I saw Good Looks in Leeds the other night. They were really good and I can imagine them playing EOTR, maybe low on the garden? Not sure if they'd be back to the UK so soon.

I'm also enthused by WH Lung on the psych fest lineup!

I saw them in London last week and they said they're planning on being in the UK four times this year, so festival season seems entirely possible. Agree that they would fit right in.

 

W.H. Lung have played a couple of times before, in fact it was their Tipi show that turned me on to them. Seeing them again soon in Tunbridge Wells

[Mardy]

I reckon we might get Snapped Ankles back this year. I've got no evidence for this, just blind hope.
