The Knife must definitely be bagged for this, between Lowlands festival in the second weekend of August and the 5th September at a festival in Warsaw, Poland and Bestival on 6th September. I keep hoping that Stradbally appears on their gig schedule so I can break it to you guys and gals but, NOT YET!

Well the Villagers are a definite no, they are doing Longitude and can't do both!

Can someone confirm something for me. I've been to every Picnic since year one. I have zero record on ticketmaster, but I do have about six stubs and timetable programmes. Will they count towards the €149.99 price or do you need at least one ticketmaster record?

if you bring stubs from 3 different years to a TM kiosk, you'll be able to get 2 of the 149 ones.

The Knife are a shoe-in for this! no Irish gigs and with Fever Ray already playing an amazing set at EP, no doubt about it. The Knife is a coming

Got front row centre for Fever Ray last time and it blew my mind... There is a nice gap in the knife's schedule for e.p

How could you blag yourself in though, what do people say? I've been on the guest list a few times and they where insanely strict, basically no name down, you weren't getting in, no matter who you said put you down.

Or do you mean people sneaking in, and then saying their wristband was stolen/fell off?

heh one year we were sitting around the tents on the Friday when a mate of one us came over, for a while we all thought there was something odd and eventually realised no armband.

Turns out he had given his ticket and managed to somehow walk through the whole entrance area without getting a band or stopped.

He had to go back to the entrance and on his way got picked up by security and had to spend the next 20 mins looking for the person that took his ticket to see if they remembered him.

Eventually got everything sorted though

exact same thing happened to me-fortunately i had only walked about 20 yards past security with my stuff when i noticed.... they still got the cops involved which i thought was harsh but they eventually took my word for it....

Arctic Monkeys are amazing, especially their first two albums

and their last two albums..Alex Turner is a genius..really hope they're headlining!

Hammer91

half twelve for the lineup is it?

Hammer91

Honestly think the majority of that leaked lineup is real...looks decent

daenerysstormborn3

Excited! Can't wait to see the line-up

sadie06

Bah....I have to abandon the net for a good 5 hours now. I'm gonna miss all the fun.

Eroticplants

Sinead O'Connor and Nine Inch Nails and I'll be happy.
Maaaaaybe System of a Down, James Blake, Warpaint and Purity Ring.

Got my "2 or less" discount code in an email without asking for it despite not having gone or purchased a ticket since 2007.

unfortunately the blaggers ruin it for the genuine people, so all cases have to be taken seriously.

Are you talking about the lineup poster with David Bowie on it because it even say it is a fake on it and that is not even the most obvious reason why it is a fake (David Bowie was on it).

Edit: latest from Jim Carroll

Jim Carroll @jimcarrollOTR 46m
Just spotted sheltering from the rain in Fitzwilliam Sq: Bjork, Arctic Monkeys, Fatboy Slim, The Knife, Johnny Marr & My Bloody Valentine

The launch party is in Fitzwilliam Sq. and no that is not his way of saying the actual bands are physically there.

If one more person sends me the "leaked Lineup" I am going to lose it. NIN and QOTSA are playing Philidelphia that same weekend, David Bowie gave up touring he is not going to do a one off at EP, Glastonbury maybe at some point in the future but not EP. My Prediction:

Arctic Monkeys
My Bloody Valentine
Bjork
Portishead
Massive Attack
Fatboy Slim
Tame Impala
The Knife
Band of Horse
The Editors
MIA
Flaming Lips
Belle & Sebastian

The Editors alone would seal it for me. saw them at Rock Werchter last year and it was amazing

delbertgrady

Hoping for an ampersand double-bill of Belle & Sebastian and She & Him.

John Meagher from the Indo was on Newstalk a little while ago and double-confirmed Bjork, My Bloody Valentine, FBS and also mentioned David Byrne too.
