Thats all very serious looking haha. Its strange though, this is my first ep, but just from stories from my mates and that, plenty of substances find their way in, dogs or no dogs.

The dog is there for a short few hours on Friday (or was in 2012) and disappears shortly thereafter. I don't think it actually does anything.

They need a big Saturday-night dance headliner more than they need an alt rock band.

Though I doubt either will play. If the Sunday tickets selling out is a bellwether (and if it's not just a cynical marketing ploy) then getting an act with a huge booking fee would make as much fiscal sense as forging the main stage out of solid gold. Unless they've booked them already, that is.

In my work I'm located near garda at the main entrance so perhaps I see and notice it more than most, its a risk and I've seen many a soul with small amounts to large being taken away, I imagine things are only gonna get tighter. It's a risk, and I wouldn't encourage folk to tempt their chances from what I've seen

BadTurtle

The Prodigy won't be added. And thank **** for that.

scruff monkey

What are the chances of the Manics being added, new album out and all that, anyone?

MadYaker

Ah I think the prodigy would be good craic.

Not necessarily. Electric picnic is an annual event so they're not just thinking about this year, but next year and the year after.

If they have a few surprise big acts announced late in the game, this will give the punters a good vibe going in, and next year, no matter what the line-up announced on day one, people are still likely to buy tickets in the expectation of some big announcements later

(still hoping for interpol!!!)

Are you just basing this on their website tour dates? I'm guessing they have the festival start date in but there might still be a chance they play the saturday or sunday? (although PSB have a gig on the sunday so saturday would be the only alternative).

PadraigOK

I mentioned as much a few pages back. This is just an updated version.

The Friday's might be speculative as some bands list the first day of festivals in their listings but there ya go.

Cheers! Hoping for a very lame friday so i can guilt free give it a miss. Otherwise might have to commute (the missus can't camp this year, and we only got 1 night in the hotel for the saturday). Foals and PSB would be 2 of the bands I most want to see even though I've seen both already.

Furious-Red

Flume is on Sunday.

Bestival announced another bunch of acts

Eroticplants

Could see La Roux being added to EP. Don't know much about the rest of the acts.

TimeToShine

Ah feck, I was hoping for a relatively lame Sunday because I have to drive home at some stage on Sunday night! I wonder if everyone on the Bestival line-up is a potential call-up for EP since it's the week after and pretty much right beside it.

Would like to Jenny Lewis added, even better if it was with the rest of Rilo Kiley, but some of her solo stuff is decent enough.

Not sure since she has a dublin date not long after EP

D.Q

Hmm, her Academy date is in November, we could get a warm up and then she'd drop her new album before November?

We'll have to wait and see sure.

i do like her new single alright - v catchy

bleg

Wouldn't mind seeing the naked and famous again. They'd also be perfect for EP. Get some serious good vibes going...

BadTurtle

Nightwave would be a nice addition.

Ah for some reason i thought i was September

Vancouver Sleep Clinic is so fecking class... Disturbingly accurate channelling of Justin Vernon. Enjoying Drenge too from the lesser known acts.

It might go without saying, but if Simple Minds only makes you think of Don't You Forget About Me, you should delve further. Very excited for them after some further research.

Yeh Underworld would fit that late night slot for Saturday nicely, I can imagine zooming about to Rez in the early hours.
