Electric Picnic 2015

Take it with a grain of salt obviously , But I have been informed by a source close to POD(who has been correct past 2 years) that tomorrows lineup will contain Kasabian , Florence , Charlie XCX , Underworld & Basement Jaxx. Again I no this seems like just guess work but thats what I have been told. The "source"(My cousin lol) has been correct in the past. We will know for sure in less than 24 hours anyways!.

Honestly I am hoping he is wrong. That potential lineup does nothing for me personally. Still hoping for the Prodigy!. Although I realize they would attract a good few scauldies to the festival lol

Also , I am not up on my mainstream music but I have no idea who or what a Charile XCX is. But according to him she will be on the lineup come tomorrow morning.

Joyrex is dropping hints that Aphex Twin might be going on a tour in the We Are The Music Makers forum, fingers crossed that EP might be part of his schedule.

If the headliners are any of:
Kasabian
Noel Gallagher
Blur
Black Keys
The Libertines
Radiohead (longshot but heres to hoping what with the new album)

I would be chuffed, I think one of these might be likely as they are all active over the summer.

The lesser bands that I would love to see, that also have a possibility of playing:
Future Island (must be a shoe in)
Tame Impala
The Tallest Man on Earth
Alvvays
Mac Demarco
Kendrick Lamar
Twin Peaks
Ought
Run the Jewels (probably not, on account of Forbidden Fruit)
Hot Chip
Digitalism
Villagers
Everything Everything
Modest Mouse
The Wytches
Johnny Marr
Manchester Orchestra
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Viet Cong

Oh and I would love if Jamie T was there, I think he probably will play as he hasn't announced any Irish dates and he seems to be doing a few festivals

You never would have gotten them at Electric Picnic in the past but after the Killers set a precedent, who knows?

Cian_M

Yeah I know, also I'm hoping the fact that both Kasabian and Noel both play over in Ireland a number of times when touring a new album. So hopefully one of them will play

There were a few more current chart acts last year like clean bandit, the 1975, Hozier, Lily Allen last year. Wonder who will fill these slots this year

After looking around at different festivals, who's touring, past picnics and some chat on here I was hoping I'd be able to guess what we might see in the announcement tomorrow, very difficult to guess who will make an appearance at EP though, always hopeful they have a surprise or two up their sleeve. For what it's worth this is the list I came up with.

Florence & The Machine
Underworld

The War on Drugs
Tame Impala
The Jacksons
Grace Jones
Hot Chip

Roisin Murphy
George Ezra
Jon Hopkins
Belle & Sebastien
Flying Lotus
Run The Jewels
Gorgon City
Future Islands
Kate Tempest
Flight Facilities
Pond
Sleaford Mods
Django Django
Alvvways
Chet Faker

A lot of them I haven't even listened to but seem to pop up on a lot of festival line ups over the summer, while others appear at just one other festival but I could see them playing EP. No idea who the third headliner could be but I'd be pretty surprised if Underworld and FATM weren't announced at this stage. Overall if that was the jist of it tomorrow I'd be fairly underwhelmed, but they always seem to have a habit of pulling a rabbit out of the hat!

i'd be happy enough with that.

the first few announcements have often been a bit underwhelming i thought, and it's only once July/August comes around and there's a few acts from each that when all put together, make it look like a good lineup

I remember going up to them a little more than merry and asking for two burgers. I was walking around with one in each hand like a caveman :D
