    Im a big BRMC fan but I saw them in March and they were terrible.
    Ellie Goulding is terrible.
    Saw Charli XCX supporting Coldplay in Germany and she was terrible.

    Plant could be good though..

    Will go see Little Green Cars ,Ellie Goulding and Mick Flannery from the bands that were announced today.

    Thought Travis might have been added but no sign of them.

    Cyril Hahn self confirmed and so did dylan moran so I think they have a few things left for after the discount period... hopefully.

    Yeah, I'd still be hopeful that they have at least a couple of good acts for after the discount ticket timeslot runs out, to make a last push for ticket sales. With the comedy stage and Little Big Tent still to fill, there'll be at least two more biggish announcements I assume.

    This announcement is far from inspiring though, and if that's the vast majority of the big stage acts (which it looks like it is), I'm a bit disappointed...

    Can't argue with the price and general buzz of the festival, but still...

    I'm not saying that the likes of Daft Punk, QOTSA, NIN, Bowie should be there because that is and always was a stupid expectation for anyone to have. But one of your top billed acts of an announcement being a very young Irish act (albeit talented) without an album even out yet speaks volumes.

    Who?
    Soak is on the very bottom of the list.
    Little green cars are in the mid section and The Strypes are further down (both have an album out)

    I said top billed of this announcement today, so I mean Little Green Cars. Robert Plant, Ellie Goulding, BRMC, Little Green Cars.

    Ok, their album is out a couple of days, hadn't actually realized that, but it's still a weak announcement.

    Fair enough Matt, but there are more announcements to come.

    Personally, i'm well pleased with Plant, and The Beat, and Little green cars / ellie goulding will keep the GF happy.

    would go to see:

    Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
    Little Green Cars
    Charlie XCX
    Dawes
    Lady Lamb the Beekeeper
    No Ceremony///
    Space Dimension Controller
    Chrome Sparks
    Factory Floor

    grand.

    must check out a few of the others, John Grant gets great reviews from what i've read.

    all i'm really interested in now is the Little Big Tent announcement tbh, there's plenty already announced to keep me busy.

    The albums out over a week, and got to number one aswell, there getting a lot of AirPlay and by the time the picnic comes around there will be a huge amount of hype about them. So not that weak at all really

    They did rectify the "10th Anniversary" thing though :P

    Incorrectly though! Once again things are not "Born" at the age of 1.

    Maybe they are using East Asian age reckoning?

    But I doubt it.

    They might announce some more bigger acts after the promotion ends. To get people to pay full whack. Unlikely though.
