Jamiroquai would be a great addition actually

Any word on the throw back band, I'm going to call Tiffany as a possibility she seems to be doing a few gigs this side of the pond during the summer.

Prefer Run the Jewels myself! Streaming the clip from YouTube above. Nice!

On a tangentially related subject (i.e. 80's-tasticness!) I was listening to the Floating Points album today. One of the tunes - "For Marmish" is very free jazzy, but right in the middle, there is a bit that sounds like a wee sample from a Bruce Hornsby track! Anyone hear that?!

If I could have one wish for EP this year it would be for Jamiroquai to be announced. He would suit the festival perfectly IMO but I'm not sure where he would fit in now as most of the main stage headline slots seem to be full, maybe he would sub one of the nights?

They could do the 8.30 - 9 pm slot like New Order last year and A Tribe called Quest or Duran Duran could do the after headliner at 10.30 pm to 12 am

Poor old Ash have fairly slid down the billing since I last saw them at Reading!!!

The Butthole Surfers reformed recently again just looking at that Reading 96, they played the Day For Night festival last December in Houston, would love to get them for the Picnic. But I fear due to their notorious history of previous stage shows, a penis skin graft operation on their backdrop screen in the late eighties might make them a little messy for the likes of the Picnic, but I think they would suit the vibe.

Not a huge fan of Jamiroquai, but I wouldn't envy the act that'd follow them. Duran have the hits and bluster but Tribe a bit too low-key & subtle to hold an inebriated crowd at midnight I reckon. Would love to be proved wrong.

scruff monkey · 08-04-2017 11:00pm

Would wonder could they actually be EA headliners ?

Hope Liam G doesnt get announced for EP (i know i would not have to watch him but he wont be able to top Noel).

Surely it would make more sense to have Korn headline the 2nd stage at R&L. But overall the R&L is shocking

Is there talk of korn playing?

There has been no talk of it at all. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's likelier that EP 2018 will take place on the moon.

Really don't think they'd suit as an EP headline act,which is what they would command. Not my thing so could be wrong.

MadYaker · 09-04-2017 1:25pm

I liked them when I was younger. Don't think EP would bok them though.

jobless · 09-04-2017 1:32pm

Father John Misty's new album out 2 days ago....well worth a listen... looking forward to seeing him

Been listening to this all afternoon...bonobo boiler room.
God it's gorgeous. Really hope they get added

The idea that ecstasy is a happy drug and the worst side effect is a desire to give everyone sweaty hugs is a total urban myth.

It's really not. Never once seen a fight in my 20 or so years clubbing. Nobody on pills has any interest in fighting

I think what original person alluding to is the rare but unfortunate side effect of death as a result of ecstasy use.

Don't think they were. The discussion was about aggression

Perhaps. Though it is a less benign S/E. Just think we need not to be too relaxed about possible effects of drugs, even the more 'benign' stuff.
But, anyway, back to the music....

mgkelly · 09-04-2017 11:09pm

Not so sure about the Fr John Misty love in that's going on, in here!
I'm sure he's very talented, but I'm finding it hard to get excited.
Streamed a couple of albums/watched on YouTube, but not getting buzzed.
What am I doing wrong?!

Ha! I did not know that song was her.

mgkelly · 09-04-2017 11:10pm

...horses for courses, of course...!
...or maybe, Band of Horses?........

Im still not convinced Tribe are headliners, they're simply not well enough known.
Some have asked why would EP not just announce all the headliners? I think the third headliner is Kasabian, as the EP is sold out they're under no pressure to announce this, allowing Kasabian to promote their Dublin gig next month and their Belfast gig, the week before the EP.

I don't want it to be true, but it's fairly likely

I think you're right, but if not Kasabian then Muse/Foals/Jamiroquai.

I reckon it'll be Radiohead, announced after their gig in June.

:pac:

I don't think it's likely, as EP have specifically said that Tribe are headlining the Saturday night.

if they weren't headlining, they would have just not said anything.
