So that's Croke Park sorted out along with Blur.

Now...

How about Coldplay?

It is likely that Blur will headline? I would love to see them at London it just getting the money for me, is it likely they will play over here?

Hmmm Noel Gallagher headlining? Unless its a co headline with Prodigy.

Yea would'nt mind Blur doing EP (they seem to have gotten better then their Oxegen 2009 slot)

Dr. Bre

underworld headlining bestival. they could do EP or longitude

Mike Guide 69

Another act I would love to see at EP, would be Echo and The Bunnymen, was The Olympia gig last night and it was just unbelievable, they have a fantastic back catalogue (ok, the 80's album releases ideally), great setlist, I think they would a great addition to EP, would suit a lot of punters......

aka accounts 2010

T in the Park line-up announced.

Furious-Red

Would love to see the following at EP

Kasabian or Noel G or Prodigy or Stereophonics (can only see one of them if any)
Annie Mac
Hot Chip
Twin Atlantic (slim chance)
Enter Shikari (again Slim)
Jamie T
Paloma Faith
Alabama Shakes
Catfish & The Bottlemen
Moudest Mouse
James Bay

Underworld are nailed down for EP in my opinion. Festival Republic are pushing them a good bit for other events

That T in the Park line-up looks dreadful. But I would love to see Modest Mouse announced for EP.

12' (I think) was the last time they played, but they were on the main stage, they really suit 'indoors' just didn't have the same atmosphere compared to when they absolutely blew the roof off the EA a few years previous.

They're probably due again!



Would love to see;

Fri: Pixies (maybe they've saturated Ireland at this stage, but I keep missing them when they play, would love to see them @ EP)
Sat: Florence & the machine
Sun: Blur

Others I really want added;
Tame Impala
GEMS
Royal blood
Alt J
The Frames
Courtney Barnett
Gaz Coombes

Com Truise

Almost looks like one of those fake announcements!!

Any talk on capacity increase? Don't mind the extra hussle and bussle but I really did notice that some of the stage tents were completely jam packed 1-2 acts before a popular act, almost like Glastonbury.
It starts to become hard work rather than fun, particularly if having a few beers.

Yeah when coming from Camille O'Sullivan's set at the Jerry Fish we were trying to catch the last bit of London Grammar's set at the EA but it was absolutely wedged, in fact quite a crowd was gathered in a circle around the arena tent staring in through the openings, so we just had to make do with the audio from where we were.

Sufjan stevens has new album out soon and is playing the end of the road festival in the UK the same weekend as EP. Would love to see him here and reckon there'd be a good chance

Kendal calling line up! Late July-Early August.

Everythin coming up Milhouse

I'd love to see him too but apparently he won't be playing any other European festivals. At the End of the Road announcement it was said that he was a European festival exclusive for 2015. I can't link them but it's mentioned on the NME and Guardian arcticles about the announcement.

Ah Jesus. Had my hopes up too. Seen him twice and were two of my favourite gigs ever

After looking around for a bit I'm predicting something like:


Duran Duran
Grace Jones
+ biggish Sunday headliner (Blur? Black Keys? FATM? Animal Collective?)
Underworld

War On Drugs
Belle and Sebastien
Modest Mouse
Rudimental
Hot Chip
Jon Hopkins

Parquet Courts
Chvrches
Years and Years
James Blake
Ride
Future Islands

a Kalkbrenner
The 2 Bears
Genghar
Walking on Cars
George Ezra
Roisin Murphy

I'd love for Chance The Rapper/Run The Jewels/Kendrick Lamar/ Childish Gambino/Odd Future to be added, but I don't really see it.

I can see Florence and The Machine and The Black Keys having Marlay Park dates, so they may be out of the running.

Oh noooooo Todd terje for longitude....wanted him at ep

You might get Action Bronson

Longtitude are assembling a very nice line up so far, no decent announcements from EP yet. I have my tickets for both bought , hope EP announce something soon

DaveSuarez

Does anyone know where I could find the lineup for the other voices tent from last year? I got flashbacks of been in there last year listening to a young lad. I think he had a Northern accent and couldn't have been any more than 17/18. It was the Friday night. I'd be interested to see how he's done since as I thought he was great at the time.

Possibly SOAK? She played the Friday night on the OV stage.

Agreed. Longitude line up is looking very tempting to me. EP arse around every year taking ages to release the line up. It gets seriously grating after a while.

Yes, that's her. Thank you! No wonder I've never been able to find out who it was, I thought it was a guy :pac:

In my defense I was in an absolute hoop. I thought she was great though, amazing voice.

Too funny! :-)

Bandsintown today tells me José González + The Vaccines have been added (don't know if thats much of a revelation, tends to be behind in some cases)
Yea line up looking good, from my house to Marley park would be an absolute trek, would need to get a hotel and that's just more cost! Plus I think I'd actually sleep all day in hotel comfort, Prob just get the later acts on the second day!!
For me a proper festival ya have to have stay over/camping options.

I would be DELIGHTED if Florence + the Machine was to be a headliner at EP; I saw her perform in Coventry in 2012 and she was fantastic! ^_^ Sadly, I can imagine a lot of the EP crowd bitching and going "OMG! WAAAAY TOOOO mainstream" if that did transpire.

At this stage though I'm not too pushed who ends up playing EP* this year; having missed 2014 and all the awesomeness that was on offer (Beck, Portishead, St. Vincent, Kelis, Neneh Cherry, London Grammar and more) I'll just be glad to be back in Stradbally again.

*Having said that, I would be eternally grateful if any (preferably all) of the following were announced: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Goldfrapp, Marilyn Manson, Brody Dalle, Lana Del Rey, Death Cab for Cutie, Banks, Sky Ferreira, Samaris, The Naked and Famous, Wye Oak, Kwabs, Sleep Thieves, Trust

sadie06

I think Florence would be a great headliner too. She's at the fringes of mainstream (musically, not sales wise obviously) and is a fantastic performer. Her music is not formulaic at all. I really admire her.

Re: Blur. Am I the only one who'd rather hear Damon Albarn solo? I am in love with his last album.
