End of the road festival 2008

[sadwitch]

I don't know if i bought an eticket or not!

[William of Walworth]

Bit pushed for cash, so we have to buy after 1 August. I hope there's still tickets left then!!

[clockworkpurple]

YESSSSSSSSSS, i just found out I'm stewarding at EotR. HURRAH!

[airwaves]

Oh no - I see the day/stage orders are now up on the EoTR web site, and Sun Kil Moon appear to clash with Low / Mercury Rev.

Can anyone confirm this? Does the 'lesser stages' finish at the same time as the main stage or earlier?

Soooooooooooooooooooooo disappointed if I can't see all three of these.

[DragKnuckles]

...so we agree on Bowerbirds

Cannot get over how good their album is...think it is my most eagerly awaited set of the Summer...even more so than Joanna Newsom at Latitude...and that was BEAUTIFUL...roll on September! x

What a great job you have! Very jealous...my friends and I can also compile "dream line ups" but it goes no further than pen on paper!!!

Nice one

[sadwitch]

does anyone know if the gates shut at night for latecomers?

I don't think there's that many bands at eotr I am really crazily impatient/eager to see, but there are still a fair few I have to investigate, so hopefully there'll be some hidden gems.

[airwaves]

Conor Oberst

Laura Marling

Mercury Rev (the epitomy of a 'festival' band for me)

Low

Sun Kil Moon

Tindersticks

Other than that I'm looking forward to just chilling with a number of unknown (to me) bands, unlike Latitude where I overdid the theatre / Literature & Radio 4 to the detriment of seeing new stuff on the Lake stage.

[Hotcider]

Conor Oberst

American Music Club

Lonley Ghosts

Christopher Rees

British Sea Power

Bon Iver

Young Republic

Sun Kil Moon

Modern Ovens

Mountain Goats

Wave Pictures

Jason Molina

Richard Hawley

House of Brothers

[sadwitch]

ooooh thank you EOTR you have moved David Thomas Broughton and removed my only major potential clash!

I want to see most:

Sons of Noel and Adrian

Wave Pictures

Kimya Dawson

Darren and Jack

Jeffrey Lewis

The Mountain Goats

busy busy sunday!

I also want to see David Thomas Broughton, Mercury Rev- I think it'll be a nice combination of music and venue, and a lot of other stuff I've not seen before.

[geofelgie]

I love end of the road because at other festivals i rush about to see this band or that band.

At EOTR i just wander about because half the time I end up discovering something better than i had planned.....or i just have a really nice beer and talk to peahens and parrots (sometimes they're even there )

My only must sees are

Conor Oberst

Laura Marling

One Little Plane

Bon Iver

Kurt Wagner

The Young Republic

Absentee

Mercury Rev

Tindersticks

Woodpigeon

And I really want a band called Wildbirds and Peacedrums to be good - so I'm not going to seek them out on the net, I'm just going to turn up and wallow.

[signor]

Dirty Three

Laura Marling

Bon Iver

Two Gallants

The Accidental

Shearwater

The Chap

Tindersticks

Mountain Goats

Wave Pictures

Darren & Jack

Are Mumford & Sons still playing?

[blackplanet8]

Dead Meadow

A hawk and a hacksaw

sennen

absentee

low

mercury rev [ just playing new album as i type this]

congregation

cut a shine

tindersticks

brakes

The listing on the end of the road website says late night bands are on in the big top,so i'm assuming that include mumford and sons and Hush the Many though i could be wrong.

[wolfamongwolves]

friday

a hawk & a hacksaw

dirty three

conor oberst

american music club

sat

bon iver

low

sun kil moon

mercury rev

sun

jason molina

tindersticks

calexico

there are a few close calls though. i think amc clash with dirty three which is a shame.

its my first time. it really does look amazing and the line up is something else.

could anyone tell me what time the big top and bimble inn go on till or does it all finish at 12.

[geofelgie]

Its more like 2 or 3am.

I THINK it's 3am friday and sat nights and 2am sun night but don't quote me on that!
