Following the announcement's for
End Of The Road Festival's initial round-up for 2010 with patience-trying highlights including the likes of The Mountain Goats, Black Mountain and Cymbals Eat Guitars the long and winding path to this year's End Of The Road just became a little more agravating as the latest slew of essential acts just popped out of the West Sussex/ Dorset border like a pristine egg flops out of a peacock. Cult heroes
Yo La Tengo make it down to Larmer Tree Gardens for an exclusive UK festival show, joining previously announced Garden Stage headliners Wilco. Elsewhere, the part-morbid, part-euphoric downtrodden rattles of
Wolf Parade clang along like harmonious shackled prisoners stumbling through deserted woods,
Errors bring some post-punk cacophony to proceedings and drum stick incinerators
Monotonix ratch up the September heat. Dots & Dashes' fave Icelandic pixie
Ólöf Arnalds (Bjork's a little out of favour for refusing to sign my Dean & Deluca napkin) adds a touch of otherworldly guile, estranged British Sea Power bird watcher Eamon Hamilton's
Brakes play, as does illusive Canadian Daniel Snaith aka
Caribou.
The full line up is now thus:
Yo La Tengo * Wilco * The New Pornographers * The Mountain Goats * The Low Anthem * Iron & Wine * Caribou * Black Mountain * Brakes * Charlie Parr * Dengue Fever * Felice Brothers * Monotonix * The Unthanks * Wolf Parade * AA Bondy * Annie and the Beekeepers * The Antlers * Elliott Brood * Caitlin Rose * Cate Le Bon * Citay * Cymbals Eat Guitars * Daredevil Christopher Wright * Deer Tick * Diane Cluck with Anders Griffen * Django Django * DON’T MOVE! * Errors * Frank Fairfield * Forest Fire * Heidi Spencer & The Rare Bird * Horse Feathers * Jonny Kearney & Lucy Farrell * Ladyhawk * London Snorkelling Team * Jessica Lea Mayfield * Mountain Man * Nurses * Oh Ruin * Ólöf Arnalds * Papercuts * Phosphorescent * Joe Pug * The Ruby Suns * Snowman * The Fresh & Onlys * Three Trapped Tigers * Timber Timbre * The Wilderness Of Manitoba
