Among the newly announced acts are Super Furry Animals, the beloved Welsh indie-pop innovators whose kaleidoscopic catalogue continues to influence generations. Their long-awaited return to the stage, and to EOTR, bridges nostalgia and reinvention, making them a perfect fit for an anniversary celebration of this scale. Another returning favourite, Kurt Vile, brings his unmistakable brand of hazy, psych-tinged indie rock back to the Larmer Tree Gardens. Known for his meandering guitar lines and laid-back vocals, Vile’s set is likely to be a dreamy late-summer highlight.

Injecting a burst of chaotic energy into the lineup are Fat Dog, one of the most talked-about new bands in the UK underground scene. Their genre-blurring mix of techno, rock, and experimental noise, which they’ve called “scream-into-pillow music” has earned them a devoted following for their unpredictable live shows. Expect mosh pits, sweat, and a sense of total abandon when they take the stage, the kind of set people talk about for years afterwards.

Other artists include the revered songwriter Lucinda Williams and psych-rock workhorse Ty Segall bring heavyweight live reputations to Larmer Tree Gardens. Elsewhere, celebrated vocalist and composer Beverly Glenn-Copeland appears with Elizabeth Copeland, alongside the widescreen post-rock and folk textures of caroline, the shadowy intensity of Just Mustard, the experimental electronics of james K, and the visceral noise-rap of YHWH Nailgun. It’s a bill that invites you to explore, stumble across new favourites, and stay out later than you planned.

What truly makes EOTR unmissable is its mix of genres and celebration of difference- the way folk minimalists bump shoulders with avant-garde jazz players, the way you can wander from a raucous late-night set to a quiet forest performance. The festival consistently gives space to rising stars and niche artists who later become household names, proving that its curators still have their finger firmly on the pulse of what’s next in music. It’s the sort of weekend where every slot on the timetable feels like a potential discovery.

A fourth mystery headliner is yet to be revealed, keeping fans eagerly speculating. Whether it’s a legendary reunion, a beloved cult act, or an unexpected newcomer, the surprise promises to be worth the wait and only adds to the sense of anticipation building around this year’s event. The festival will take place at Larmer Tree Gardens between September 3 and September 6.
