Tickets in hand, can't beat your local Ticketmaster, no code required : )

Shop said they were busy with them all afternoon, feeing the early bird allocation won't be as big as last year, I wouldn't be snoozing get down to your local shop.

Yeah, surely Pink Moon would like to charge extra money themselves for another night in their tents?

The had it on the PMC website yesterday that early entrance was €10 in but not there today

Perhaps slightly more realistic, Pavement do a 25th anniversary of Slanted and Enchanted tour.

I think I might faint if that was announced.

Anyone else see them at the Rock Garden - possibly in 94?

Yes and you're right - '94 as per this hot press review... http://www.hotpress.com/music/reviews/live/PAVEMENT/470110.html

Seen Stephen Malkmus twice in last couple of years - at the Picnic 2 years ago and in Austin, TX last year. He didn't do it at Picnic but he's taken to playing some pavement tunes in the encore... well worth seeing either way.

However - my wish list of reunion events for Picnic 2017 are

- Sonic Youth
- Pavement
- That Petrol Emotion
- An Emotional Fish
- The Golden Horde

Already planning to see Dinosaur Jr in November, but they'd be welcome back as well....

The Petrols have formed a new band (minus Steve Mack) and go under the name The Everlasting Yeah. One album out and another on the way. Be cool to see them at Jerry Fish's tent, Salty Dog or Other Voices.

Nick cave will be a certainty for next year.

I think the line up will be poorer again next year.

Arne_Saknussem · 09-09-2016 10:09pm

Beck will be touring a new album next summer too, high probability he'll be back.

Whoops for the positive start to the thread.

Would love to see Despacio make an appearance again. Anybody heard any news on it lately? Has it been sidelined with LCD touring and working on a new album?

Also, Soulwax/2ManyDjs are always a great addition

ab4248 · 09-09-2016 10:54pm

Anyone know if all discounted tickets are gone or is it just a TM prob? Friend just tried booking with 3+code and its saying there are no more tickets left on that promotion?

So would I but with LCD doing a full tour next year id say it's unlikely.

Murphy loves Ireland. Be great if LCD came back again

How can you say that with Nick Cave involved!! [shaking head after beers,no offence intended

] If he was the only one there it would be worth it

I'd give my left nut to have LCD back. Failing that I'd take another Murphy DJ set. His opening line this year was great "This must be our... 4 billionth picnic."

Did you not watch their set on Saturday no? Murphy said they'll be back next year with new music. But I think its safe to assume back to Ireland and not back to Picnic. 3 arena id say.

I did (and what a set it was) but don't remember that in particular (I was well on by then). I'll be there if/when they do

ab4248 · 10-09-2016 12:50am

Despacio or LCD all good by me. Think Murphy will be there anyway. Anyone raising on a left nut??

grudgehugger · 10-09-2016 9:05am

Quick googling of upcoming album releases etc has this as a starter list of realistic possibles for 2017 - just 4 or 5 of these would be great I reckon

Nick Cave
Stone Roses (Noel G slot)
Angel Olsen
Radiohead
Danny Brown
Beck
Bon Iver
Wilco
War paint
Preoccupations (aka Viet Cong)
Jagwar Ma
Sun Kil Moon
AlunaGeorge

Mince Pie · 10-09-2016 10:05am

Hey I've got a 1-2 loyalty code. Have been to 3 but usual nonsense from TM. Not going next year so happy to pass on the code. First to PM.

**code gone**

Any and all of these please.

I'm gonna stick with the policy of not mentioning the r-word (though we're surely overdue an Irish show by now, right?)

Nick Cave, Bon Iver and Preoccupations would be particularly welcome (mainly because I've seen Beck, Wilco and the Stone Roses over the last 2 years!)

I'd rather they play their own gig than the Picnic.

Same - I'm just not sure where.

The last time they played in Ireland was Malahide Castle was it?

I feel like a show in the 3 Arena would sell out in no time at all so I may struggle to get tickets, but a big outdoor venue wouldn't be ideal I don't think. It's hard to gauge the demand - you'd presume they'd sell out some big shows, but Ireland is hard to predict. But Radiohead play so infrequently that you'd fancy a lot of people to travel to see them...

Marlay Park would be the most likely I'd say. I've seen great and terrible gigs there so wouldn't be my first choice.

How about a residency in the Olympia for, say, 20 nights?

sadie06 · 10-09-2016 3:43pm

Neither of my reunion dreams will ever happen.

The Smiths or The Communards.

Saw them at Nos Alive in July-as much as I enjoyed it I left with the feeling that I would far prefer a couple of nights at the Point

ab4248 · 10-09-2016 5:08pm

Id like a bit of The Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets, The Beautiful South, Nick Cave. You'd know Féile was my first outing

Swashbuckler · 10-09-2016 5:28pm

Mate of mine was wondering if you do the installment plan do you get charged the service charge each time?

Sad but true. Johnny's had a go. Any chance Moz would give it a whirl? I think the picnic would suit him down to the ground. Himself and the Pixies would keep me happy next year. I'm a man of simple tastes. Maybe if A House could get together too. That's not asking too much, is it?
