I've no idea who is realistic or not, so I'm just looking at the Bestival line up and seeing who I would like from that, of them I would love to see any of;

Basement Jaxx
Skream
Eats Everything
The 2 Bears
Boys Noize
Horse Meat Disco
Route 94
SBTRKT

and I have to say I would love to see Blondie, wherever all of you are getting her from!

Still wondering whatever happened with Chromeo on one of the posters that was released? Very much looking forward to the next batch of acts announced, really hoping for some good electronic acts.

She was added recently to the Rock en Seine festival in France the weekend before the Picnic. This is her tour schedule She is listed for another show in France on 31st August so that leaves 30th and 29th free in her schedule.

Furious-Red

Maybe we can expect Chromeo in the next announcement? They seem to be getting lots of praise after their Coachella performance last weekend.

I watched some of Outkast i do agree what people were saying about Andre , the first few songs you could see he was on form then after Big Boi's solo stuff he just didnt care. Maybe that was to do with the crowd so fingers crossed for a good gig in August

Some of you have awful taste in music. QOTSA are not an electric picnic band. Foo fighters FFS.It was never a bog standard rock festival although it's heading that way.

Lad I think it's fairly obvious no one gives a shît what you think on this thread. Tip on.

Stuart Braithwaite (he of Mogwai fame) confirmed last night on Twitter in a Q&A that they are playing EP this year. MADE.UP.

I get the 'EP type of band' thing but were gonna see it get dragged back to the middle more and more. Happening already in a way.

Cheers for the heads up, great addition.

Beyond Mogwai, bands I'd like (that have a chance at being added, so no Black Keys, QOTSA, Aphex Twin etc):
Chromeo
Damon Albarn
Caribou
Run The Jewels
Hudson Mohawke
Basement Jaxx
Deafheaven
Death Grips

Was just talking the other night saying they were the band I wanted announced, delighted!

They're playing Glasto but chances are they'll headline the Park/JP on the Fri/Sat and I'll likely be elsewhere (Arcade Fire/Pixies probably). So this has been music to my ears.

The comedy acts are only added close enough to the festival aren't they?

Dylan Moran and DOD are my favourite Irish comedians though so doubt they'll top last years.

The Gods are with me this year! Electric Arena please!!!!

Sure Albarn will play, seeing as he hasn't announced a separate gig?.. Cos obviously Ireland is the centre of the universe, and artists don't feel that they've "made it" until they play here.

Well seeing as the last 4 times he's toured he's played here, yes it's a good bet.

My first live Mogwai experience was at EP in the Electric Arena. 2006 according to Wiki. Haven't looked back since.

Anybody else with one? I'd really appreciate it.

Mogwai are an ideal addition, exactly what the lineup needed. Now, if one of Chance the Rapper/Kendrick/RTJ and one of Future Islands/Wild Beasts/TuneYards are added, then all my boxes are ticked!

They played 2011 too.

There is a good chance that Mogwai could make it to EP alright, they are playing Richmond Park in Glasgow on 30th August, so they could make it either side of that date. http://www.mogwai.co.uk/

clashed with pulp tho-bad buzz... left pulp to catch the end of mogwai... hate seeing bits of acts when clashes arise-should just have stayed for the end of pulp.... can't see anything denying me the full whack of mogwai this year!

The Melvins would be nice.

Would love to see Pond if Tame Impala aren't a possibility.

Had an attempt at putting up the tent just there, well it was interesting to say the least.
What is a 'mild breeze' when sitting in it or going for a walk turns into something like this

when you try to put up a fairly large tent

nevertheless, got it up and she's all there and good to go. So properly excited now it's ridiculous!

I know its probably already been answered a few dozen times in the thread but i had a quick look and can't see it right now so....

If i buy tickets from Ticketmaster Outlet can I avail of the payment plan or do I need to pay all in one go?

the website says "Instalment plans will be available online for all Weekend Camping and Family Weekend Camping ticket prices to any customer wishing to take advantage of a payment plan "

You can only do installments online, in the outlet you have to pay all in one go. Had the same dilemma myself.
