the balls in your court....
Was hoping the national would play their tho....
Any ideas who this mysterm headliner is....im guessing it could be lenny Cohen? or Sufjan
Very special guest eh?
So who do we think it is?
I'm going to take a shot in the dark at/dream about a reformed neutral milk hotel
that's be aces
but if they were going to reform would they not play Coachella or a US festival? They are MUCH bigger in the US than here.....
got my ticket
cant wait, was great last year.
im still hoping for jonathan richman.
this is going to be AWESOME!!!
fingers crossed the weather is better this year
grammatical pedantry, but...
The e-mail from the Green Man people refers to "special guests" - plural - headlining the Sunday, so presumably it's a band, amazing though Cohen or Sufjan would be...
My guess is that it'll be Pentangle - they're playing reunion shows in the summer already, GM always has one sixties relic headlining (Plant, Donovan, Incredible String Band), and Bert Jansch and John Renbourn have both played there before...
beirut headlining?!?!?
jo and danny: WUH?
Neutral Milk Hotel
.........WILL NEVER REFORM!
You heard it here first.
