Did I imagine things or did someone on here recently take the piss about how funny it would be if Don Conroy was at EP. Just read online that he's actually giving art lessons there this year??!?

Is the Church there this year, we could marry Pudz off on Friday. We'll all go to the wedding.

There should acutally be a boards meetup on the Friday this year, get Pudz weekend off to a flier.

Hi,
I'm looking at buying two tickets with 3 fast track off a bloke.
Can anyone tell me;
1. What the 3 fast track tickets do for you?
2. Can anyone use them, or do you have to be a 3 mobile customer?
Thanks :-)

Are these tickets for EP, it might be a scam are the 3 tickets, are they not tout proof, do you not have to bring the credit card or transaction details or your phone with the 3 number in it, I thought I heard something about that. My mate never bothered getting any in the end after me getting the code for him.

He probably won them in a competition or there complementary, the fast track thing doesn't matter but can he prove where he got them? If it was a competition he should have proof.

Hi ,
Yep there tickets for EP.
I'm not sure , I don't know what you would have to show apart from the tickets themselves, that's why I put it up here to see if anyone could give me the heads up.
Thanks

That's only if your using the fast track I think, he should get into campsite and main entrance with tickets no problem if their real. Portably are, don't think chancers would complicate a scam in such a way.

Yeah that's him, didn't know much about him but seen him on most festival line ups. Think he could have played Forbidden Fruit but not 100%

Nah, you're thinking of Don Conroy.

No idea. I'm surprised they didn't save it for the big announcement next week.

I hope he does a 'Jim'll paint it' session..

Don, can you paint bressie and Al Porter in a brutal cage fight, refereed by John Anderson from gladiators?

I think you have to remember Don Conroy as a kid to give a **** about who he is. Same as LCD Soundsystem.

ned_strange

has anybody ever bought pink moon ticket of someone else, anything to watch out for?

scruff monkey

I'd be very wary of buying that sort of thing, it's not a hard ticket, it's just a booking that could possibly be changed back.

Anyone watch stranger things? The soundtrack is epic! That retro synth really appeals to me. If DJ was to remix this into a harder core beat I'd probably lose my sh1t

Re: New Order

I saw them at the WHP last December and it was one of the best gigs i've ever been to. Was at Glastonbury too and know what you mean about their set but I think the stage could have had something to do with it. I went to see all the headliners on The Other Stage at Glasto. Similarly saw LCD at Lovebox are they were much better than at Glastonbury. They've being finishing up with Temptation, Blue Monday and Love Will Tear Us Apart. So I hope they're all their very best on the Picnic mainstage

Yep would definitely like to see Four Tet again, bring on that RBMA launch. Playing up till 28th August, nothing listed after that so it seems he's free anyway.

Last Shadow Puppets haven't got a gig past Rock en Seine, which is the week before EP....

Someone mentioning The Libertines earlier has gotten my hopes up ridiculously. I don't think it's a goer but it'd be amazing. They were incredible in Dublin last year.

I'm a bit worried that EP will try to shoehorn Two Door Cinema Club in as Sunday night headliners. They're not my thing but could have huge appeal to the kids. Last album number one in Ireland, new one on the way, they drew a big crowd playing after Bjork in 2013 and they're headlining the NME/BBC stage at Reading the weekend before. It'll appease some of the Facebook crew anyway. Happy for them to be announced, but not that slot please.

Dear god no. I was dragged along to be part of that big 2013 crowd, and they were the dullest act I've had the misfortune to see in a long time. Won't make that mistake a second time.

TOGETHER THE PEOPLE festival returns to Preston Park, Brighton on September 3rd and 4th featuring a UK Festival Exclusive headliner with BRIAN WILSON (of the Beach Boys) performing Pet Sounds + greatest hits, Suede, The Horrors, Hiatus Kaiyote, Gaz Coombes, Songhoy Blues, Turin Brakes and many more

Would love to see Brian Wilson , Suede, Gaz Coomes ... actually most of them added to the line up !

Just gotten around to listening to Overhead the Albatross and they have gone right to the top of my must see list. Quality stuff

I was there too, I enjoyed them having not been a fan before or since. They're a good upbeat Saturday night act. One of the few Irish acts capable of holding a late slot the middle day on the main stage. Each to their own.

I have a feeling they'll be announced, I'm hoping they won't be the biggest act, whilst not being too optimistic. I'm still clinging on to the Radiohead dream too... which contradicts my previous statement
