Anyone know how that poor fcuker ended up? His friends were posting on boards.ie last year saying he was critical in hospital.

I'd like to add memory tapes and little dragon to my wish list (like the ep organisers give a fvck!!)

He's grand. He's a friend of a friend, and apparently he was so out of his tree that he climbed the tree, then fell out the tree:D.

Apparently he's fine now, think he had a punctured lung and was in an induced coma for bit, but he's back to normal now afaik. Doubt he'll be doing any climbing this year though!!

Not at the Picnic mate, that was last year, (incidentally, I love Pulp but their performance at the EP was very lackluster.)

Cant remember if SBTRKT was on the list, but he just said on 6 music that he is playing the picnic

nope, he wasn't on the list.

thought after his gig here in May he'd be announced for either EP or Forbidden Fruit alright

Anyone know if Willie o'Dea will be playing at the salty dog, and what's the chances of the dodgy rave in the forrest again, the law showed up at the wee hours of sunday morning last year, don't think they were too happy but they couldn't do anything with that many people there.

Did anyone here do the give to go cycle? Thinking of giving it a crack this year...

I did the cycle two years back. If you regularly cycle for sport its a cake walk. If you just cycle to work you are probably well off doing a bit of training for it. But it is great fun and they look after you really well on the day.

PM me if you want more details.

How long before hand do you to apply to do it? I'm doing a bit of cycling at the moment, but not sure if i'd be fit enough for this.

hubiedubie

I'd say M83, Bon Iver and Justice will be added in the next announcement.

yeah did it last year. Very well run system. They will probably start advertising it soon for applicants. needed to run a few events to raise the cash. You need to make it clear that the money you are raising is all going to Temple Street, and not to pay for you into EP for the weekend.

Do as much training as possible, it really does get tough in places (for me) if you don't have regular training a few months beforehand. I hadn't been on a bike in a few years but did about 40km a week for a few months. Was still wrecked getting down there!

Closing for applicants wishing to do the Tour de Picnic is closing on April 1st and €50 registration fee must be paid before then as far as I'm aware. I have not cycled in years so maybe some training will be needed what kind of events did you run?

Aw man, I can just picture them being showered with plastic bottles, mud and whatnot. But of course not a chance of that happening. Lol Green Day at Electric Picnic

This pleases me.

In past years, I've always been a little underwhelmed by the preliminary lineup. New acts would be announced in drips and drabs, with only one or two acts from each batch tempting me in any way. I'd be thinking I'd give it a miss that year, then at some stage during the summer I'd look at the amalgamation of acts and start drooling as I'd realise that the lineup closely resembled the wishlist I'd drawn up in my head.

This year, I'm already pretty entused by the acts announced so far, and I can assume it can only get better. I'm squirreling away €50 a week as I think I'm already set on hitting up the Piccy. Awaiting the next announcement with anticipation.

Flight of the Conchords are touring NZ and Oz June/July, mmm, what are the chances eh, would be a great act for the picnic

NZ and Oz is a little bit far from Stadbally mate!

Furious-Red

Would love if Tim Minchin gets announced , seems to be doing a few shows around the UK during the summer

The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble went down a treat a few years ago.
We need more brass!!!

I reckon these guys would be perfect for EP.
