They re kind of a bizarre/novelty act. Kind of have the same sort attraction of say major lazer until diplo totally turned them to ****.

Really enjoyed Major Lazer in 2009 or 2010, great craic really entertaining!!

FRANK OCEAN would be majorly unreal if they could get him. Keeping such a low profile but music is starting to get leaked after a listening party which could mean his album is on the way with a possible tour being announced also. Wishful thinking... CHANCE THE RAPPER would make for a good weekend act

I don't know about you guys but I really wish Jon Hopkins was playing again this year, I'm not sick of him yet,

Chance the Rapper would be great.

Would love to see a bit more rap/hip-hop at EP. That and metal (Im not a fan but...) are about the only two things lacking from the bill en masse!

They would be great. Not sure either are touring though.

Apparently Biffy Clyro are doing Reading/Leeds, could put them in with a shout, although they're doing Belfast in June.

Frank Carter accidentally leaked a R&L poster earlier with a few more names that haven't been announced yet.

would like to get Die Antwoord, PARTYNEXTDOOR, The Internet, Haim, Anderson Paak and ASAP Rocky

The poster has been confirmed on Twitter by Biffy Clyro in announcing themselves as the final headliner.

I think it's a pretty weak bill - gambling on several smaller acts to make the step up at once in Biffy, Foals, FOB, Disclosure. It could work, but could fall flat too.

BadTurtle

Wouldn't expect Biffy Clyro on an EP lineup these days.

And Paul Kalkbrenner please. Both were quality last year.

Getting very excited about tomorrow

Don't think there's been much jazz at Picnic over the years, not in recent years anyway. Someone like Gregory Porter (I know he's playing the Olympia twice in April) would be great in the Electric Arena.

Would there be enough people interested in something so niche? The EA is huge

ghostdancer

some more names for Green Man

BadTurtle

Julia Holter, Kamasi Washington and Julianna Barwick would be great.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is a great name, must check them out.

This is the first time since 2010 that I don't have a ticket for picnic..
I'm getting so anxious that the line up is gonna be great and then i'll have to go

bodhrandude

This looks interesting and would be a nice addition to EP, the Iggy Pop and Josh Homme collaboration on the album Post Pop Depression. Iggy hasn't played EP since 2007, one of my main highlights from that year, an incredible gig. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/01/24/arts/music/iggy-pop-josh-homme-post-pop-depression.html?_r=3&referer=http://found.ee/PPD_NYTimesExclusive

Would love Iggy Pop

If you've never seen it, Henry Rollins on Iggy, it's long so take a bit of time during lunch, well worth it

Any mention of his insurance selling skills in there?

I could see/would like to see Big Grams being announced. That's the collaboration project between Phantogram and Big Boi. They've been touring together lately and Big Boi has played EP before with Outkast.

BadTurtle

Big Boi was decent that year. André 3000 is a prick though, may as well not have turned up

Yep, for your sake, we're all hoping it's a shíte lineup

Yeah probably too big alright, one of the other tents perhaps. Anyway, won't happen but he was just an example. You see Kamasi Washington popping up at lots of other mainstream European festivals, but couldn't see Picnic ever booking him. Maybe there's just not enough people interested like you said

B&S have St. Germain and BADBADNOTGOOD if they count as jazz in your book.. probably as close to jazz as you are likely to see at summer festivals in Ireland ...

Have EP announced what time the announcement is coming tomorrow?

I would expect around midday but haven't seen it anywhere so just want to know when I need to be refreshing my Twitter feed!!

everlast75

I'd be a bit underwhelmed by LCD and New Order to be honest. Muse would be decent though.

But two thoughts comfort me
1) The headliners were never the real attraction for me to the EP - the rest of the bands more than made up for it
2) the last couple of years I've been run ragged getting from point a) to b) so if there aren't as many bands that I want to see this year, it might make it less stressful

The Saturday and Sunday headliners weren't announced until starting of May last year, so you might have to wait a while for some of them.
