I'd love to see The Cure again, I saw them in Wembly and I was blown away.
I hope everyone going has a great time. I just can't afford to go atm

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

You nonce, it means that if their stating to tour that they will come over this part of the world, they only tour every couple of years for a few months, I guess you never heard of them

Does anybody know if you can buy your tents and sleeping bags etc and then collect them on site, it was done at oxegen a few years ago but cant remember what company it was.

Joe Bananas but they've gone tits up since unfortunately. Not sure if anyone does it anymore.

There are stalls in the campsites which sell camping equipment but prices can be a bit high. There's also a SuperValu in Stradbally which has camping paraphernalia.

Black Keys wont be playing since they are doing the O2 in August

The Line up this year should be outstanding with no Oxegen on...

The Killers and Elbow are the 2 headliners on Sunday.

I seriously hope they aren't booked

Hurry up with the next announcement EP!

Oh and just to let you all know M83 have been confirmed for the Body and Soul festival so probably makes it less likely they will be announced for EP might try make the trip to B and S for them

Who was expecting The Killers?
I'd be surprised if The Darkness were added too but you never know.

Brandt Brauer Frick played both last year. Not sure were there any others?
So M83 might still be added. Though you are right, it probably is less likely now. Fingers crossed.

Bestival has announced Stevie Wonder as the Sunday headliner, could there be a chance he would do the Picnic too.

Bestival still have to announce their Friday headliner, maybe contractually EP need to wait til that is publicly confirmed before they can announce.
Similar to T Vital waiting until Reading and Leeds was out before announcing the Foo Fighters.
Anyway, just a theory of mine..... Would love to see Bon Iver

grudgehugger

Bloc Party just announced a bunch of festival dates with a gap just where EP is...

So for now that's Caribou and Bloc Party on my "will b disappointed if not added" list...

dee.

Aw damn, Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeroes have announced an Olympia show in July...was really hoping they would be added to EP. Fingers still crossed for Bon Iver/Death From Above 1979.

Bon Iver is a UK exclusive to the Latitude festval so they wont be at Bestival, still doesnt rule out EP though.

Saw Kormac at the Picnic in 2009, my good they are amazing live.

Just wondering if there is going to be an announcement next week, we are nearly at the end of the month, maybe early April I suppose.

Mulvee

Never been before, went to Oxegen in '10 & '11 though.
Thinking about heading this year, worth a shot?
I'm 21 by the way, like the line up.
