But i will be there
oh yes


Yeah, s'pose

just gettin all excited there!


I am preparing

to get excited about this as sson as ATP is done and dusted. Line up is looking superb.


Agreed.

Additions i hope to see....Times New Viking, Grizzly Bear, Islands, Speck Mountain, David Thomas Broughton, Bon Iver and Bill Callahan.


got two tickets

last year was ace...


Four

There's going to be another announcement before the end of the month featuring at least two big names, I understand.


They really dont need much more

That is a bloomin strong line up for £105. I am going, along with the girlf, and a few others.


New confirmation

According to his myspace, Bon Iver is playing. This is obviously a very good thing.


Woah!

I think there's a proper announcement either this or next week.


presence.


Absolutely


.

Oh, and according to an ad in NME today, Richard Hawley is playing too. Nice.


Latest Confirmations

are apparantly thus: Richard Hawley, Bon Iver, Congregation, Cate Le Bon, Emily Louzeau, Liz Green, Peter and the Wolf, Zombie Zombie, Noah and the Whale and David Thomas Broughton.

Nice(r).


Ooh, Emily Loizeau is lovely.

Hoping to be there, just depends on money, and who out of my friends decides to go.


Yes

I'm going! Buying my ticket on fri.


good..

....week before atp ny though....what to do?


I went last year

and there was a few organisation errors but hopefully this will be rectified.

Looking into B&Bs as I type.


I'm there...

alone at the mo :(


i'm determined to go to this

and in the process of persuading friends. The lineup's incredible.


Tickets are in!

It did say they were early bird ones (maybe the price will go up 10-20 quid?), but well chuffed anyhow. Best festival line up of the year so far imo, and on the cheaper (compared to its peers, bestival ATP etc)

Dirty Three! Calexico! Mountain Goats! (He's gotta play 'peacocks' surely?) Plus loads of other great stuff. C'mon sun.


the more i look at this line-up

the more i think i must go. has anyone been before but not camped? where did you stay? (i'm not a happy camper)
anyone want to share a cottage?


Me!

I'm through with camping.


there are some b&bs, and cottages

for 6 people nearby. i'm tempted but probably need a car to commute between.


hmm

do you drive? I have a few friends who may be tempted.

I went last year and camped but ended up going home Sunday night because I had such little sleep.


i do have

an australian driving licence, but not driven for....4 years.
do you know of accommodation that are within walking distance? i'll keep searching.


you need to get it sorted

camping is great!


hey!

i didn't realise you're....you. why new username?
nah, i'm too used to the luxuries of b&b or atp-style chalets. i don't even own a tent.


I'm REALLY looking forward to this

might be a few more bands announced today!


i think that..

everyone should watch GOSSAMER ALBATROSS at End of The Road this year!


i will go

if I will get free pass. ;)


me hopefully

applied to do stewarding so fingers crossed I get it!


i would love to and hopefully will

but it'll probably be a last minute decision based on cashflow due to holiday in july and atp new york in september.


Is this the festival in Dorset around September time?

I was thinking about getting a ticket this year.


gone

and goner! well im definatley going!

angelo spencer. good call eotr!!


How is this not sold out?

Its insania.


^ agreed.

I've got my ticket :)


People thinking they can buy one once all the other festival outlay is sorted, I'd guess

Those of us who are sensible bought early birds ages ago, of course. Mind you, it didn't quite sell out last year.


for me it's just about the money

I'm hoping to buy a ticket in July, and i know 4 or 5 people who are in the same position.

Any chance you can reserve some for us? ;P


But the line up's immense this year

it was OK last year, but nothing on this.


True


I so far

prefer last year's line-up, but there's still time for bands to be announced.


Cats In Paris!


where is...

Charlie Parr on the line up, it just wouldn't be the same without him


Nah, I'm happy he's..

..not there..you can definitely have too much of this earnest folky gloom.. Where's all the smiley pop? that's more the question. Boris Yeltsin..er, thats it. Surely The Boy Least Likely To will be available for a return? And Scando-pop? Salty Pirates, please...


YAY

I'm officially a steward. What this entails I'm not completely sure, but hell I'm going!


end of the road festival

i have never been. but got tickets for this year. im so exited. the line up is awsome.


another band not on the official list

but outed via their myspace is:

Wildbirds & Peacedrums!

I am very happy about this.


Why, oh why oh why?

Isnt this sold out?


news...

...I think

The full lineup for the local tent is:

A.p.a.T.t
Alessi
Birdengine
David Thomas Broughton
The Chap
The Constantines
Cut a Shine 21st Century Barn Dance
Dead Meadow
Karima Francis
Charlotte Hatherley
Essie Jain

Robyn G Shiels


The Singing Adams!

Lovely stuff


It seems that Miracle Fortress

Have pulled out, boo.


Devastated...

Miracle Fortress at EOTR would have been perfect.


^ seconded...

Does this mean there's a new TSA record on the way? I actually prefer the first one to the last couple of BFB albums.


Thank god

"...has been cancelled" crossed my mind for a split second, and then a random killing spree would have entered the equation. I am *not* missing Broughton this year.


i thought this

i might have gone postal


That's...

... at the least incomplete. Hush the Many have on their Myspace that they're playing at midnight on some day or other in the Local.

I quite like the thought of midnight Hush the Many.


i'll be there

with the girlfriend.


I'll be there

Looking like the Festival of the summer me thinks


really want to go again

last year was brilliant. Hope they don't sell out before i get my money together


same here

I really don't want to miss out, so i may just buy a ticket anyway even if i can't really afford it.

Only problem with that is that i risk none of my friends then getting tickets


i really want to

more than any of the other festivals i've already paid to go to.

but i have no money left. :(


yessss


Me there for sure!

Mountain goats, Two Gallants, Micah P, Conor Oberst, Billy Childish, Bob Log, Sun Kil etc. etc.. etc... !!


Coo

Award-winning End Of The Road festival (EOTR) and ground-breaking movie magazine Little White Lies are joining forces to create a cinema experience at the festival on 12th, 13th & 14th September, at the beautiful Larmer Tree Gardens in Dorset. EOTR has established itself as an intimate, friendly and chilled out festival attracting a knowledgeable 5,000 crowd seeking quality music, food and surroundings. By taking care of the little things, the synergy between EOTR and LWLies magazine is obvious and provides the opportunity to create a film experience with a similar approach to the music line-up.

(I think it means they're bringing a projector)

Little White Lies will bring an eclectic mix of films and content to the cinema tent experience. In partnership with Warp Films, Shortwave Films and other film companies, there will be a diverse range of films to suit all tastes young and old. The EOTR team will also be entering their favourites to the programme.
Warp Films will be screening Dead Man’s Shoes, amongst a selection of shorts, music videos plus added extra feature films from their catalogue past and present. Warp also run Warp Records as well as Warp X, a digital film studio backed by the Film Council/Film Four and Optimum Films in Sheffield.
Shortwave Films produce a variety of content and have been involved with events since 1999, including Glastonbury, Elefest, Portobello Film and Video festival and regular nights at 93FeetEast amongst others.

(The press release also refers to "the last remaining tickets to the festival", which in the light of cancellation season is heartening)


I'm there

well i'm not as it's not until september. But I will be. My mate bought me a ticket for my birthday, Now i need to reciprocate to him some how.


I'd say definitely,

but I'm not sure how soon.


I imagine so

it's pretty small and the line-up is stellar.


:( :( :(

i can't afford a ticket 'till sept.


have you found

somewhere to stay yet?


No

but to be honest I've not looked into it that much, I shall do this week.


will you let me know how it goes?

i shall get my map out and see how far these places are from the site.


I really really really want to go

but it depends on whether I have any money left after buying an ATP ticket, replacing my broken computer, going to Sweden, and remembering to save for uni...and if any of my friends are going.


does anyone know

the best way to get there without a car? thanks


Last year

I went via train to Salisbury and there was mini buses running to the site - the buses were TINY though and as I didn't book in advance I ended up having to get a cab back on the Sunday night or I would have missed the train home so I recommend to book in advance.


cool, thanks for that

out of interest, how much was the cab?


About £40 I think

It was a good 45 minute drive. Luckily I found 3 people in the same situation so we split the cost.


There's

always Liftshare.co.uk as well!


Will be there

was sure I'd already replied here


YARSE

Managed to persuade my friends in the end (took long enough mind). So me + 14 fellow Devonians. I'm all over that cider bus...


The line-up for this looks really good

Am a bit put off though having read gleaming reviews from last year that it is quite a family orientated event. They've said it is beautiful, relaxed, good facilites etc. I though, am a teenager, and thus would like a good selection of food but without compromising, I have realised - some kind of disorder. Is EOTR suitable?


I in.

Its very chilled, clean and relaxed, however, loads of real ale and cider, they let you take your own drinks to the stages too(gasp!). I cant remember the end of yo la tengo last year due to a box of banrock station red


I repeat

Why isnt this little beauty sold out? Any minute surely?


^^^

because the hoi poloi have no taste. This line up is stellar.

Is there a discoteque and said event with some PHat basslines and such?


Actually, good question

I have friends who I think would come if they could be convinced that there is def a rave up at night.


rave up?

you crazy kids.

Actually, I think there's DJs in the Big Top tent till about 2am. And The Bimble Inn (big teepee, third stage) keeps the good times rolling into the wee small hours.
