I'll be disgusted if it's LCD Soundsystem, but all the rumours seem to be pointing that way.

That said, the best part of EP is usually the second and third tier acts who tear it up in the tents so I'll be there with bells on anyway.

Ah sure stop, I've Joe Duffy's number already punched in, just hovering over the 'dial' button waiting for the announcement.

Random speculation, we've had a bunch of names thrown up but I mentioned a gap in his schedule and everybody looses their mind.

If he's not Electric Picnic material I really don't know what is..

I think Kylie Minogue is more EP than yer man there that you mentioned (I can't even type his moniker)

I'd be disgusted by Gary Glitter supported by the Bay City Rollers, annoyed by Calvin Harris but I could just wander back to tent for bevvies or B&S for a walkabout.

End of the day, it's just a bloody gig.

I just realised that I really couldn't give a sh1te who is announced. I'm going anyway. If there is stuff that I really really want to see, bonus... if not, no big deal.

End of the day, I just posted a fairly innocuous comment on an internet discussion forum.

Nothing the net likes better than a bit of fauxtrage I suppose.

Relax the cacks.

Kylie could walk on stage, play a kazoo for 45 minutes and I think I would still be happy...

It's just a few people trollin', I wouldn't read too much into it. The chances of him being booked are essentially 0%.

I have no idea, it's music, it's dance so it could be a fit. The more indie music type people would have a collective sh1t fit (that will be funny), it would certainly shift tickets.

Really, really depends on who is announced on the lineup. If Radiohead are there, don't count on it.

It's a rip off alright but I'm still happy to have an actual selection of drinks at a festival.

Anyone remember Witnness?

Barman: What can I get you?
Me: What have you got?
Barman: Guinness.
Me: Give me a Guinness.

The cider last year was a welcome addition.
