Friday is Sam smith, belle and Sebastian, Interpol, Florence ,

Saturday is George Ezra , blur

Sunday django django (or Saturday) Jurassic 5, tame impala, Interpol

If Sam , Florence and Underworld are on Friday then Blur on Saturday then surely there is one more headliner to come?(Come on Kasabian :P)

BadTurtle

Ugh, Kasabian would be a nightmare.

Jesus Friday will be some night.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this method of predicting the running order may not be 100% reliable.

Totally agree but who knows lol! If they all go ahead Friday and sat I've a feeling I'll be wrote off by Sunday.

More so than say The Prodigy.

Edit: In the US late August and Early September feck! :mad:

The fact Blur are playing in Chile on the Monday after EP that means the are def playing the saturday

Fatfrog

I'd bet my house on underworld playing Saturday night!!

For me the only slot for Blur that feels right is Sunday night!

My prediction;
Fri-Sam Smith
Sat-Florence
Sun-Blur

Royal Blood have to be there!! They played here in March, sold out both shows in the Olympia, I see they're playing Leeds and Reading too, also festival republic, so I'm expecting them to be added.

I'm so sick I didn't get a ticket. Enjoy.ill check in after Sept to help ye all out with the post depression.

PadraigOK

I did a list last year going by what artists had on their site/FB/agent sites, however it's never reliable (some stick down the first day of the festival and scheduling changes/commitments elsewhere generally alter the final run down).

I'd imagine Blur followed by Underworld will be Sat night and Florence/Sam Smith will close the festival (ideal for day trippers). Could be a Grace Jones or Interpol Friday night.

Clashfinder is a must for days and times of bands. highly reliable, but not created for this year yet.

Oh god - the fear after the picnic is nothing other than horrific :(:(

So what will be the potential reggae legend for the Sunday afternoon on the main stage, would like if EP procured Steel Pulse, any other suggestions out there, perhaps Eddie Grant or Dennis Bovell, I see he is touring for the summer.

I actually quit my job after the Picnic in 2008. I was unhappy in work and simply couldn't force myself to do even one more day. I remember ringing my boss, telling him I'm not putting up with his bullying anymore and that he was nothing only a wanker. I got up, pulled the curtains and let the sunshine hit my face. It felt great.

Any jobs or volunteer work you can apply for still available?

Metropolis Festival Tier 1 and 2 Early Bird tickets sold out in minutes!
Prices for the next early bird are €130...

I was gonna pick up a ticket on tier 1 for €99 but now that it's gonna be €130+ they can feck right off!
I'd say their allocation for tier 1 and 2 tickets was tiny!

mejulie805

I'm the same- getting too close to the price of a picnic ticket!

NotInventedHere

New additions:

The Boomtown Rats – Villagers – Le Galaxie - The Staves
MS MR – Shamir – Mano Le Tough – Parquet Courts
Son Lux - Jape - Girlpool - Little Hours - The Lost Brothers
Here We Go Magic - Thomston - Declan McKenna - Tom Misch
Bry - Legend - Yurodny - Dublin Gospel Choir

Synode

Happy with that. Will finally get to see Le Galaxie and Dublin Gospel Choir.

SligoBrewer

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

roll

you'd know EP was alredy sold out looking at those additions....

Toulouse

Happy too, there were never going to be any huge names in the last release. Le Galaxie, Jape and Parquet Courts for me!

Rough Sleeper

I'll admit that I'm ignorant of a fair few acts there, but from here that looks like the most disappointing announcement since the government declared that they were changing off-licence closing times to 10pm. One or two good ones there but the only things you can be certain of in life are death, taxes, and Le Galaxie playing every festival in Ireland over the summer. They're always very enjoyable but at this stage I don't think they need to be announced any more than fences or burger vans.

ghostdancer

nothing there I remotely care about.
oh great, Le Galaxie doing the exact same show they've been touring for the last 2 years, wonder if they'll bring out MayKay and Elaine Mai :rolleyes:


here is last year's July announcement for comparison:

James Vincent McMorrow
SBTRKT
Hozier
Bombay Bicyle Club
The 1975
Wild Beasts
Hercules & Love Affair
Cathy Davey
Nick Mulvey
Sampha
Asgeir
Seinabo Sey
Rustie
The Strypes
Walking On Cars
Le Galaxie
**** Robot
BP Fallon
Nightbox
Sheppard
The Whereabouts
