I think all of these have at least a decent chance of happening. Let's see, huh?
 

loving the Stereolab reference m8. but no way is field music only sunrise headliner - probably more like 3/4th top on word. mazzy star as sunday slotters seems a bit unsuitable, swap them with magnetic fields maybe. animal collective offsetting mumford is obviously brilliant but would no doubt spur "i'm defo seeing mumford, who the f is animal collective lol!?" from the ignoramus teens. would be dee-lighted with r stevie moore, los campesinos! and jeffrey lewis.

all the same, i'm still a little ignoramus teen. and with that, my 801st post.

Fluorescences

.....SUNDAY SLOT: Mazzy Star.....

That would be nice.  I'd get up early and head over to the Obelisk for that.

Congrats on reaching that, ehm, historic mark.

Aye, Magnetic Fields might be a good Sunday slot call...might even make Merritt a little less grumpy, you never know! I just like the idea of AC turning up and playing an hour of unreleased material before playing Brothersport and ****ing off as the opposite of Bumford - I'm fairly certain on my headliners there, so as long as there's something good on the Word that night really...

Grandaddy 

I can't imagine we'll see Grandaddy back together any time soon, but Jason Lytle has hinted at some solo UK dates this year.  Fingers crossed.

Ok I got the wrong festival but this was still a pretty damn good call I think.
 
Anyway - I don't care I've already got EOTR tickets and only three days till I buy one for latitude (assuming the line up's not all Tings Tings, UB40, Grace Jones and Bjorked up).  

Yeah, I can't believe it.

Seriously tempted to go EotR now - always wanted to go, but couldn't justify the cost of two festivals.

We took the plunge last year and it's a fantastic laid back festival and great alternative to Latitude, both are equally fantastic in different ways :)

Last year was my first EOTR, it's really great. Even when there's no bands on you wanna see, exploring in the woods is great. The Walkmen in the woods was amazing.

Just spoke with SoKo. She's self-confirmed. Hurrah!

Imagine if Scissor Sisters headlined the Friday, warmed up by The B-52s. OH GOD THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.
