So perhaps a secret burst of names at 7pm then hopefully.

Why do you reckon 7pm?

They've announced before at that time, yes usually they announce that they are going to announce, hopefully soon anyway.

Who I gotta shift to get an announcement around here?

Just booked pinkmoon camping for EP for the first time.

Does anyone know do they allow gazebos in there? And if so do they enforce it?? Don't fancy getting rained on

i doubt it, the tents are pre-pitched in rows, there isn't anywhere to put a Gazebo.

Seeing as the Black Keys haven't played on Irish soil since releasing 'Turn Blue and with their US tour not starting till Sept 5th I'd say they are a safe bet to be announced for EP.

Definite LOL moment there.

James just played 3 gigs in Ireland I think, so I doubt they'd be added.

They supported The Smiths in your neck of the woods - The Savoy - back in November 1984.

Would love if Daughter played but they're playing Norway August 30th so looks pretty doubtful.

Is there an announcement due soon or it just speculating?

Mince Pie

I reckon we'll have an announcement any day now.

Tame Impala prefaced their Latitude show over the weekend by saying it was their last show on their last tour for a very long time. No Picnic slot so it seems.

Balls, I'd love to see them.

EP is 1 week before their US tour starts. A bit of inside info to go with that as well. Shhhhhhhhh! You heard it here first.

Ah here, don't be doing that. Even though I know there's a very good chance you're taking out your backside you've still planted the thought, and now I'll be disappointed when they aren't announced.

BANKS did just play Longitude, but her record is coming out in September so I'm still holding out hope that she'll appear at Electric Picnic. I think she's great.

Jeeyasus, did you see her at Longitude?? So much saccharin and weeping and coming out with "everyone here is a Goddess". I nearly puked and we went to the Speakeasy fairly promptly after that. Can't even remember if she was a good singer cos of all the guff she was coming out with.

Da Shins Kelly

I wasn't at Longitude, no. I've been following her for the last year or so though and she has some great tracks on Soundcloud and I've watched a couple of acoustic performances online where she sounded amazing.

My sources tell me that David Bowie will be announcing the date of the next announcement at 7pm this evening.

Is there any cameo that David Bowie won't do?

Question for ye lads. In what order would you rank the stages in terms of size? My friends who have never gone before were asking me this the other day, but I found it hard to say, there were a lot of stages I wasn't at last year and of the ones I was at a lot seemed similar in size.

I would guess something like:
1) Main Stage
2) RBMA
3) Electric Arena
4) Body & Soul MS
5) Casa Bacardi

Maybe some of you EP veterans will know better!

I'd go:

Main Stage
Electric Arena
Rankin's Wood
Cosby Stage
Little Big Tent
Trailer Park Stage
Body and Soul Main Stage
Casa Bacardi
Salty Dog
RBMA (although this is just a in forest so it's size is open to interpretation)

Cosby, LBT and Trailer Park all very similar size!

Soooo, any chance of Garth Brooks or Coldplay being added at this stage? .......

All joking aside, Coldplay would be a great addition.

scruff monkey

Joking aside, they would probably cost the same as the budget for all performers at EP

Jazzzman

Indeed.

BullBlackNova

I'm hopeful the Black Keys will not be added given the diabolical performance they put in in the O2 last time they played. 50 minute set, pretty much all of El Camino played and nothing from the older albums. It was the El Camino tour, Im not an idiot - I knew it'd be heavy, but one or two of the older tracks would've been nice. Strange Times and Psychotic Girl were pretty big too, it's not like I'm asking for a b-side to their original mix tape!!

If I had to ask for a biggish act (there wont be one Id say btw) it'd be Vampire Weekend or Phoenix.
