Kasabian are excellent live, I saw them in Galway a few months back. I prefer Arctic Monkeys music, they are a better band but kasabian are better performers.

Ah here Kasabian and Arctic Monkeys get a mention and its grand, but when QOTSA get a mention, jesus weeps. Lets not start the whole music snobbery thing in here please.:)

The Strokes would be great.

I heard a mate say earlier that Kasabian are a brilliant live act. But I would never have put in the same category as the Arctic Monkeys quality-wise...

Don't rate either and would be quite happy if neither of them were there. All that strutting makes me feel nauseous and was happy when it went away briefly with the demise of Oasis

Now listening to Collider at a rather intense volume, so pleased with that was so sad I couldn't make it to Samhain to see him.

Do 2FM Daytime listeners even know who he is.

Great news, obviously needed a change of scenery after doing B&S two years in a row.

siblers

I was listening to Jon Hopkins when I read that he got announced, pretty chuffed.

Rough Sleeper

More of this Jon Hopkins type thing and less of the meat 'n' potatoes rock people are yammering about, pls.

Also get rid of that Power Anthems tent, its funny how it was run by the ESB and there was a power cut during Bonnie Tyler's set. :pac: I don't know how EP came to that conclusion that 80s AOR was part of the Picnic vibe, it will just attract the glam metal pop types. Aphex Twin with the trippy Weirdcore lasers, facemapping and installations Syro/Tuss show is what we want, well, what I want.

Wasn't there myself but wasn't it packed? So therefore they were providing an act that people are interested in seeing?
Diversity is the key BD!

I suppose it was rammed in the same way that the Bacardi Bar was except the awful drivel coming from the speakers, I might forgive if they got Kim Carnes though.

it was on the sunday if memory serves and maybe trying to emulate the legends spot at Glasto. Wasn't my cup of tae but sure what i love about both festivals, lots of stuff to do elsewhere.

Yeah the Electric Ireland tent lost power during the 80's power ballad queen, Bonnie Tyler.

You couldn't write that.

The place was jammed for Bonnie Tyler so there is interest. I didn't mind it whatsoever... it's just to hear some classic songs we all know (and probably secretly like)

I think It was only jammed because it was the first thing on the Friday.

What's happening with the 2fm advent calendar? Are they releasing the lineup through it or is it just ticket giveaways and the like?

She played on the saturday. I actually went over to see her at 7???? but was told "She will be on about 8 because she is stuck in traffic on the m50 or something". Came back and all outside the marquee was jammers , Stayed for till the power went off since you could barely hear it from outside.

Its both some days its an announcement like Jon Hopkins last night , then there were 2 VIP tickets , There was even a trip to see Bonnie Tyler over in the uk aswell

ghostdancer

my problem is more with the fact that the stage itself existed. stick Bonnie in one of the main tents.
get rid of the Electric Ireland tent and all the other tacky bullsh1t that has popped up over the last few years that is making the place look like Oxegen.
