Ohhh, controversial one there. You can't just throw any old band into the illustrious James Vincent McMorrow slot. It's a long-running EP tradition that only the absolute cream of the crop are given the honour of filling the revered James Vincent McMorrow slot.

What are you on about man, seriously?

What the hell is the James Vincent McMorrow slot? Surely it will just get renamed to the Villagers slot? Which I have to say is a lot easier to type.

Jaysus didnt think people would over think that . I meant because they are prob similar when it comes the popularity in ireland so they might get a similar slot on the bill.

No need to get the knickers in a twist

Obviously missed the JVMM meeting but last year was my first EP so forgive my ignorance.

Really hope Interpol don't play. ****ing boring.

Wavves, Burial, Flying Lotus, Mew and MØ would be some good additions.

Stylistically Wavves have a bit in common with a few of the bands booked this year (Alvvays, Tame Impala, Pond) though that might mean absolutely nothing, and they have new music out. FlyLo has something coming out this year. MØ is gonna be around europe at the time. The others would be long shots though.

Motorhead lads! Would be so savage if they got on the bill somehow.

You'd get shorter odds on Amy Winehouse playing b2b with 2Pac than you would on Burial making an appearance.

I've had this conversation on boards before but I will jump in again and say I have lots of love for Interpol. I've seen them live a good few times and I've always been really impressed!

Awful band. Probably the only concert I've genuinely fallen asleep at

I fell asleep at the Verve at Oxegen in 2008. Bloody brutal.

I put it down to a combination of them being absolutely awful and it coming at the end of a third day at a festival when I had only gotten a few hours sleep over the previous two nights.

Also, f*uck sake re: Sufjan at the Helix. I can't afford that. Literally been on the bucket list for a decade and I'm now faced with choosing him or the Picnic.

Big fan myself, 1st 2 albums are close to masterpieces imo, first album probably is a masterpiece. Never really listened much to the two albums that followed that but really like their newest one, Blue Supreme and All the Rage Back Home are up there with their best tunes.

Pls. From 3.14 onwards. Hearing that was one of the coolest, craziest things I've experienced live, it transforms into an absolute beast of a tune!

This is from the B&S boards page, talking about Despacio with 2manydjs and James Murphy

"Yeah Despacio is a big job, they have their own custom built speakers (something like 16 of them) all facing one another in a circle, they didn't want to create a thing like most gigs where it's the crowd facing the DJ, so the DJ booth is kind of hidden/lowered. Was over at it in London last year and it was excellent, they had so many records in stacks of boxes, agree that it would be perfect for B&S but it's too much of an expensive operation for a festival of this size.

One of my friends that was with me in London was at their gig in the Olympia on Paddys weekend, he got chatting to Dave Dewaele afterwards and was asking if they have any plans to bring Despacio to Ireland/UK, Dave wasn't giving much away but Stephen popped his head in and said Electric Picnic. He could have been joking but it would be an unbelievable addition to EP if true."

One of the bros had an interview last night on radio one before they played a new mix. He was asked are they doing many festivals this summer, which he said yes but, none have been announced yet. So fingers crossed. Would love this:)

My second instalment should be coming out, quoting Ticketmaster, "in or around Friday 24 April 2015".
I however have no money in my account as it is, but would be getting money in on Tuesday the 28th.
Anyone have experience of not having money in the account on the day it's due to be paid?
Will the previous instalment and the tickets instantly be forfeited, or will Ticketmaster give me another chance on paying my second instalment?

I'm going to ring them in the morning, but if anyone have experience in regards to this it would be grand.

Yup I missed the December payment by a few days and they were sound. Buzz them and tell them the date to take it from the card and they will do it automatically.

Reading the fine print on ticketmaster.ie states it will automatically come out, and you also authorize the transaction by proceeding with the purchase of the first instalment.

It's due the 24th, on Friday.
