what sort of electronic acts would you like to see? wouldn't mind seeing todd terje again, he has a new album coming out!

there's so many electronic acts on the go that it's hard to narrow it down to a list!

the Bugged Out weekender lineup:
http://buggedoutweekender.net/index.php/lineup

or most of the Parklife lineup:
http://www.parklife.uk.com/lineup.php

Unknown:
http://www.unknowncroatia.com/2014-line-up

Dimensions lineup (same weekend as EP):
http://www.dimensionsfestival.com/2014-line-up/

all of those have loads of acts that I'd love to see at EP. even half of the Bugged Out Weekender lineup would have me delighted!

looking at just the live acts from Parklife:
SBTRKT
Flying Lotus
Moderat
Jon Hopkins
Tensnake
Gold Panda
Jacques Greene
Ryan Hemsworth
Benoit & Sergio
Factory Floor
Zomby
Submotion Orchestra
Thundercat
Throwing Snow
Illum Sphere
.....and then there's about 30 DJs playing it that i'd love to see!

Bestival is the week after EP and books far more electronic acts and DJs than EP does.


Terje is playing a live set in Dublin in May if it's of any use, same weekend as Life festival though.

When I was posting earlier and was about to submit reply I inadvertently hit one of the low right buttons, either control, fin, window button or alt but my Boards posting page disappeared, Ive no idea what I done but it put me into a foul rage.

Catmologen

Hudson Mohawke again please!

summit2summit

Le Galaxie at the Body & Soul stage last year was one of the best gigs I have ever been to!

Would love to see this year:

Moderat or Modeselektor
Boards of Canada (new album recently released)
Arcade Fire (new album recently released)
Massive Attack (they are playing Longitude)
Daft Punk
UNKLE
Orbital
Elbow

Any idea when the line up will be announced?

EP just got back to me on Facebook, I asked 'How soon is soon.' They replied 'Very soon.' So I'm presuming maybe this Monday or the following Monday.

Toast

They also said very soon back in December. Honestly I'd be surprised if the lads running the Twitter/Facebook accounts have any idea at all and are just told to keep the hype alive until whatever else is needed to be put in place.

Any chance we can get this thread titled changed to Electric Picnic 2014 Speculation and whenever there is something concrete get it changed back to Electric Picnic 2014... I keep reading when there are new updates in the hope of real news but there never is. :-(

I hear David Bowie runs the Twitter account.

The Prodigy are playing Sziget in August so by the process of wishful thinking, they could play EP too..

And Rock en Seine festival in France the weekend before EP, so they are definitely within a flying range to do EP, the same for Portishead also playing Rock en Seine. Seeing that Robert Plant's band had two members of Portishead / Massive attack that played last year, negotiations probably took place there and then for Portishead at 2014, this is also strengthened by the fact that Massive Attack has played EP twice now, so their music would be very much suited to the EP ethos.

ghostdancer

just depends on whether EP are bothered booking them.

they played Creamfields last year the week before EP but didn't play here (or anywhere) that weekend, despite there not being any "classic" big dance act on the lineup like in previous years.

Wonder is there a few more verys left, next week they'll be saying very very soon! :P Think someone mentioned mid-March for a launch date so hope they're right!

Love the prodigy, but would they still draw a bit of a nack crowd? Or have all those heads grown up to be sensible?

Dont no since we had FBS and Arctic Monkeys this year.

Any hope of seeing Digitilism on the line up?

Underworld would make my weekend!!

The Prodigy were always known as a 'dance' act, even though they tried to move beyond it from their second album onward. I always felt that they were looked down on a bit. People thought of them as just a group of 'mad yolks' and not to be taken too seriously. But they've released some truly brilliant music. The majority of it the work of just one man. Their best stuff transcended genres and individual dance scenes. 'Narayan' was dropped at a Cream gig in the Point years ago. 8000 house heads were just standing there, hugging each other and utterly lost in it. But they've lost that magic. If you played any of their new material at a house gig nowadays you'd be laughed off the stage. More power to them I suppose, they don't owe me anything. But Howlett is a wasted talent. I hope he eventually gets rid of those other two clowns and gets back into it.

Agree with you here completely, Howlett is one of the greatest dj's/producers of all time imo

Absolutely. I'm sure you've heard of it already, but his The Dirtchamber Sessions is one of my favourite DJ mixes. It got dissed by some of their fans because it wasn't the Prodigy, and it got dissed by everyone else because it was The Prodigy. But it's reputation has grown over time. All of his influences are laid bare on it. It's an unusual listen if you're not accustomed to hearing funk and soul in a DJ set, but it takes some beating. It's hard to believe it's by the same guy that produced Invaders Must Die.

The Prodigy are playing The Marquee in Cork the first week of July, they won't play EP

dropping_bombs

Outkast are playing Pukklepop,hopefully that bodes well for them to play EP!

Rfrip

Seasoned electric picnicer considering going to body n soul this year just for John grant alone. Anyone go to both every year. Not sure if the body can cope with two festivals!!

Eroticplants

I did them both last year, well worth it.
