how about this

everyone guess 10 bands that will appear in the first announcement

a point for every UK based band - two for a band from elesewhere

winner gets a prize (lock of my hair, small tub of toenail clippings)

here's my punt - based mostly on likelihood, rather than hope:

 

steve mason

idles

euros childs

hen ogledd

nilüfer yanya

the fernweh

sharon van etten

jenny lewis

the national

the comet is coming

Idles

Pictish Trail

Phosphorescent

Audiobooks

The National

Underworld

Boygenius

Car Seat Headrest

Sons of Kemet

Quite a lot of consensus overall. I probably should have left Pictish Trail in to guarantee a point really.

IDLES (I’ll be pretty surprised if they are not playing this year)

Car Seat Headrest

Fontaines DC

Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard

Piroshka

Fat White Family

Amyl and the Sniffers

The Beths 

Black Midi

Wild card - Paul Draper (ex Mansun)

No idea about the main stage headliners- too many to choose from, although Vampire Weekend a possibility given usual crossover between GM and EOTR.

SVE

Better Oblivion CC

Plastic Mermaids

Gently Tender

Parquet Courts

Estrons

The Beths

TVAM

and I’ll be happy with most of that

blackpumpkinhead replied on

I know but it would be good if people had genuine guesses and not just copied Green Man tweets and that goes for me as well seeing as I copied Idles.And you can have the toe nails if I win--unless you plan to leave them as DNA evidence at a crime scene

 

Sugarchips replied on

You can be the first, but maybe the last. I’ve seen IDLES twice and can’t wait to see them again. And as for Anais, not bothered by Hadestown but I adore her solo stuff. Saw her in Shepherds Bush last year. She’s gorgeous. 

Wakestock replied on

So long as it‘s not Greta Van Fleet and the recently reformed Doves. Having seen Buzzard x3 again this evening I’ll be surprised if they don’t feature this year. 

Mookid replied on

(IDLES and Anais Mitchell if we're allowed to include them).

If not:

The Beths

Phosphorescent 

Better Oblivion Community Centre 

Pigs x7

Fatheir John Misty 

The National 

Stereolab 

TVAM

Mitski 

Car Seat Headrest 

Mikey's picture Mikey replied on

my list, for what it’s worth (as bound to come in last on the bingo score card)

Sufjan Stevans

Ryley Walker

Lord Huron

Steve Mason

Better Oblivian Community Centre (refuse to spell centre any other way)

Jon Biden and the Remnant Kings

The Tallest Man on Earth

Bat for Lashes

Whitney

and a late result just in... Buzzards 3   Pigs 7  (away win)*

if by any miracle I win, the clippings can be donated to charity, the locks of hair to Elton John

* my choice excludes Pigs x 7 as they must be a certainty at this stage.

ray_rad's picture ray_rad replied on

they're an increasingly popular beat combo that used to rip off tindersticks

and now just sound like every other medium sized venue indie rock band

blackpumpkinhead replied on

I do think their earlier albums were better but I would be happy with The National if they don't do what they did last time and just perform the latest album.

To be fair Tinder sticks are not the wonderful band they used to be,now they play middle of the road soul music and gigs sound like one long track going nowhere and that's disappointing to say as they used to be my favourite band but.

ray_rad's picture ray_rad replied on

we're going to have to agree to disagree on the sticks

the newer stuff is definitely a more challenging listen

but endlessly rewarding with repeated immersion

i didn't think it was going to work without dickon and al

but against all the odds...

i do hear you though - if they wanted to play exclusively from the first four records, i wouldn't complain!

The National tend to play a wider selection now, with a different setlist every night.  I've been told this is a result of Matt using a teleprompter, so no issues with remembering the words.  Intertesting how many bands do use teleprompters.

ray_rad's picture ray_rad replied on

anyway, all this blather is all very well, but time is running out for the actually chance to win my dna and clone me at home

18 hours (and a bit) to posit your 10 guesses for tomorrow's announcement

my game, my rules - you can use bands seemingly already confirmed, no matter how dull

but remember, double points for non UK artists - so use your wild stabs in the dark wisely

blackpumpkinhead replied on

Why are we assuming The National away---unless I've missed a GM hint.If it is National and Eels,I'm guessing at least one of the other headliners will be female.

smithers replied on

Patti Smith is gigging in France the following week....
