I'd say saturday, looking like friday will be the electric night, saturday a bit indie and sunday family friendly.

I don't think LCD are strong enough to headline any night that's why I think there'll be another headliner or backing up Lana or Gallagher. New order probably headline Saturday night.

I'd imagine NGHFB will be playing before LCD Soundsystem on the Saturday. They certainly are big enough to headline a night. They wouldn't be the first name on the line up if that was the case.

Saturday night

MJohnston

Yeah, regardless of anyones personal opinions of LCD, EP organisers clearly rate them at the top of the list.

sally cinnamon89

Friday:
Chems

Saturday:
NGHFB
New Order

Sunday:
LCD
Lana

drunkmonkey

I'd say the other way round, you might even see LCD early, they've very limited appeal. Not in the same league as the other headliners.

I'd say that's about right. Well hoping it is.

MJohnston

LCD will finish a night or I'll eat my hat. Of course, if new headliners are added, that might change, but right now thats what I'm saying.

Sunday night when everyone is burned out, still would a slap in the face to Lana.

MJohnston

Poppy acts like Lana are pretty regularly scheduled to be "early headliners" - Sam Smith before Blur, Paolo Nutini before Portishead and Chic, Lily Allen before Beck and Outkast, The XX before Sigur, etc. Doesn't always hold true (The Killers, Florence and the Machine) but clearly the pop artists have no problem being earlier, and EP have no problem scheduling them earlier.

Absolutely. I've no idea how anyone would not consider LCD as headliners. Bigger festivals like Coachella & Primavera did so and it's not even worthy of debate. They'll also probably draw the biggest crowd of the weekend.

Are you taking the piss??? They've been headlining festivals all over the world all summer and getting rave reviews but yeah they've a very limited appeal :rolleyes:

I think someone just fell into a generation gap

drunkmonkey

They didn't draw many at T in the park, I don't think it's a generation thing I just don't think there much good. A headliner should have at least 1 number one album, all the rest have bar LCD.

Hahaha so you rate bands based on how may number 1 albums they've had? Ok buddy. They'll probably never have a number 1 album like many many other great bands that have headlined this festival.

T in the Park is like oxegen in its latter years. That crowd would have no interest in LCD and they clashed with Red Hot Chili Peppers.

You may not like them which is fair enough everyone has their owns tastes, but to say that they aren't a good band or don't deserve to headline is nonsense to be honest. They headlined Coachella ffs.

As far as I'm concerned the last act to play the main stage on a given night is the headliner and I just can't see Noel Gallagher not headlining. If he's pencilled in for other gigs on Friday and Sunday he's definitely on the Saturday night at picnic. Which means LCD and Chemical Brothers are playing the other 2 nights?

No but you have to use some kind of a gauge. Chemical Bothers have had 6 number 1 albums, Noel Gallagher will be belting out some Oasis tunes and they have had 7 number 1's, New order 2, Lana Del ray 3 and there's LCD with a big fat 0 hell they don't even have a number 1 single.
So you could say all of them have earned a headliner slot except LCD. Unless you have a different way of judging?

Why does a scottish crowd have no interest yet an Irish one is meant to love them?

I've seen them live, I just don't get the love. As for the generation thing, there not relevant anymore, were maybe 10 years ago but definitely not headliner material just because they were cool once.

MadYaker

Id rather gauge them on the quality of their music and their live shows rather than how many number 1 albums they have. I saw them at Glasto, they were great. Justin Biebers had plenty of number 1s so I guess by your reasoning he'd be a more suitable headliner than LCD Soundsystem?

As I said earlier in a point which you convieniently glossed over. T in The Park is like what oxegen was when it died. 17 - 20 year old scumbags who want to listen to Calvin Harris and Avicii. Totally different crowd to EP.

They'll probably draw the biggest crowd of the weekend. But you should consider that a good thing because it means there'll be plenty of space for you at whatever you go to instead of them!

Are we being trolled? Fair enough they're not your thing. But they'll be huge at EP, and I'd be surprised if we weren't referring to them as the act of the weekend come Monday.

I don't think were being trolled. He doesn't like them and that's fair enough. But to try and argue that they shouldn't be headlining is rubbish.

In other news, I can't wait to bounce around a field to this!

Yeah, I get that people don't like them. I don't like Florence & the Machine but I know they're headline material.
And TT, yes please.

You were obviously not at the Electric Arena when they last played, it was absolutely jammers in much the same way as the Beasties back in 2007.

I'm guessing the irony is intended - what with this being a James Murphy co-production?

No Irony intended, didn't even know he was the singer on it until now:(, loved **** robot last time I saw him at EP, was dragged begrudgingly as hadn't heard of him. Was jammers as far as I can remember.
