    Why would it rule them out? Haven't they shared acts the last few years?

    Getting fed up with lack of info on this, time to speculate what might be announced.
    Portishead (Announced for Rock En Seine the weekend before so they are definitely touring Europe for August)
    Moderat (Should be a decent time gap after their show in Dublin)
    Aphex Twin (My own fantasy I suppose)
    Dr John and the Nite Trippers
    Queens of the Stone Age
    The National
    Godspeed You Black Emporer
    Cut Copy
    Outkast
    Chromeo
    Beck
    Motorhead or Hawkwind
    Little Dragon
    Jon Hopkins (Playing Dimensions in Croatia on 29th, so the 30th and 31st is free for the moment anyway)
    Four Tet (Playing Life festival, but regular enough to make a EP appearance too)

    Some of these anyway.

    If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. (Hawkwind 1982)

    Well he definitely had EP up but when I went to check it to get a screen the status is now deleted, 100 percent said "EP2014" though so who knows whether he meant longitude? I'll probably see him after so I'll ask what the story is

    there would be no DJs "warming up" for Disclosure at either Longitude or EP.

    Good one!

    I was only repeating what he had up, I thought the idea of this thread was speculation on who will be playing at EP2014 and talking about it.
    Don't think I'll bother in future.

    No need to get annoyed over a joke, wasn't directed at you personally was just a general dig at all the speculation on here so far, with no information whatsoever from Electric Picnic themselves, it's just getting a bit frustrating waiting for something official to be announced. Sorry if you took offence to it or anything.

    To keep the general speculation going, I heard over the weekend from an insider that the launch is going to be the 19th March. We should have ticket info and some acts then and no I don't have any backup for this.

    Nile Rodgers and Chic announced as Bestival headliner . I know they dont share many acts but can see him doing EP again maybe a late night slot or subbing/Electric Arena headliner

    I would buy a ticket for a bit of Chic or Nile Rodgers alone, missed their gigs earlier in the year. It'd be like walking on sunshine to see them live, especially in a festival setting.

    Would absolutely love to see Chic play at EP, they would be fantastic on the Sunday night. Saw them in Vicar St earlier in the year, incredible show that they put on. Fingers crossed!

    2009 in the Electric Arena is something I will never forget! Never seen an atmosphere like it (although David Byrne & St. Vincent was close)



    Chic seemed genuinely blown away by crowd reaction that day (they even got a chorus of "ole ole") - have heard them reference that gig many times in interviews afterwards
