No issue with New Order, they headlined Bestival a few years back. If they were second on the bill now that'd be a let down but they're as big name as Grace Jones or Underworld or any of those. This whole notion of Picnic having blockbuster headliners is a recent thing , to be honest i think the festival has become way too main stage focussed.

I don't mind big headliners on the main stage. They tend to take the people away from the gigs I wanna see and therefore make it a more comfortable experience :cool:

Cantaloupe

Disclosure just announced a dublin gig in June now as well...

BullBlackNova

New Order are not my thing at all, but they are absolutely a headline level band.

New Order, LCD Soundsystem and Radiohead (if they were announced) would be a great line up - and a real, old-style Picnic one at that I would say!!

Disclosure and Foals both off the table now with their other gigs in Ireland.

C'mon EP, put us out of our misery!!

Would really like Ms Harvey to be announced too, she could viciously beat me about the head with the loud angry stuff for 30 mins then softly sing me back to life for the remainder of the set and I would go bed happy

Now you are talking! Then she could head over to the main stage and do her duet with Thom.

Happy disclosure is off the list to be honest, i actually like their stuff but sadly they have fallen in to "but the crowd at that ...." category.

Dunno is it easy to say Radiohead is in tune with the picnic of old , think we always considered them too big for the picnics boots back then.

Lineup Prediction Time!

Foals - Faithless - LCD Soundsystem - Noel Gallagher
Animal Collective - New Order - M83
Catfish and The Bottlemen - Jack Garrett - Santigold
Kaytranada - Wolf Alice - Slaves - Chairlift - The 1975 - Daughter

And I'll throw in PJ Harvey and Primal Scream as high profile runners :pac:

That would be a good line up, say a lot of those are possible too. I'd love to see Chemical Brothers announced but not sure how likely they are, I was thinking one of Chemical Bros/Faithless/Disclosure might get announced for the big dance act and now with Disclosure playing in Kilmainham that leaves one of the other two, would enjoy either but have seen Faithless before (they were very good!). I'd think LCD are nailed on now that they still haven't announced any other Irish dates but I'm afraid of getting my hopes up too much. Santigold and New Order are another two that I have a strong feeling will be on the line up. I was thinking Foals as a headliner too but after announcing a gig in Cork this summer I'd be less sure.

Patiently waiting for this announcement but I have to admit I love this time of year where everyone is guessing who will play

I don't think LCD will be booked apparently their booking fee is supposed something outrageous like a million Euros, or something like that, top drawer festival material, plus Rob da Bank says they won't be playing Bestival.

the argument was cost not when

PadraigOK

Aren't they playing the Paredes De Coura festival in Portugal, I can't imagine a festival of that standing and size could afford to shell out 1m Euro. That figure is probably in relation to Coachella and any subsequent appearances (perhaps the contract with AEG is in and around that).

bodhrandude

When is EP going to give an inkling about the line up, its bad enough that the weather is sh1te as it is, but at least we can dream of balmy days with a line up to look forward to.

ghostdancer

3rd March last year, 19th March the year before.

so probably another few weeks yet anyway.

I'd like to see Bloc Party if they promise not to play anything from the new album. It's out and it's fûcking dire.

Saw them in Olympia years ago, dull as fcuk live.

Pleasant chaps, pleasant music, but so goddamn dull

Robotito

End of the Road Festival has announced some of its lineup, it's on the same weekend in the UK so it's a good bet there will be a lot of crossover with EP.
Acts announced include....Joanna Newsome, Animal Collective, Cat Power, Bat For Lashes, Jeffrey Lewis, Goat.
Not looking particularly exciting for me, except Thee Oh Sees, I hope they play EP

I don't know, loved the footage of their Glastonbury stuff a good few year back, they have elements of dance in their music but have a construct similar to Pink Floyd, working on guitar, bass, keyboard and drum dynamics, so kinda proggy, rocky dance stuff.

They might do but tbh, could as well have stuck the cd on and stayed in the bar
