    I love that EP encourages you to listen to music you would otherwise not have….

    Public Service Broadcasting….
    Had never listened and now can’t get enough of them…

    Also liking Tiz McNamara added to Hazel Wood After Dark…

    Signed up, half price with the link and that's early bird prices, although the email said €15 prices were in sterling, herself will definitely be glad of them, can't imagine major queues and should be cleaner than outside, well worth it I think

    Oi, less of the 40 something bashing! I'm going to go ahead and presume they are chilled out, open-minded, musically semi-literates like myself who will walk through those gates with a spirit of adventure and have the weekend of their lives.

    They probably couldn't get a baby-sitter for the last 10 years. I feel their pain.

    I turned 40 last December.
    This will be my first EP for about 8 years (when did Brian Wilson play?) and first to camp since it was a "bouquet" festival.

    No bashing, I'm a 40 something as well, probably right about the babysitter
    That's why you should have had kids when you were young.

    Tiny Tea Tent for hot Chai. It's the best middle age spot in the festival.

    So we're all agreed then? Board meet up across from other voices with tea and scones, no coffee and certainly no jam.

    No jam?! That's a deal-breaker for me I'm afraid

    You can exclude jam or whatever else as long as we get to sit around a warm beverage and give out about the young ones

    Too much sugar, probably keep us awake all day.

    I'll definitely have hot beverages, might even break out the Horlicks.

    Have done a bit more research into what acts are playing what days, to update Fatfrogs post some more:
    Fatfrog wrote: »
    Friday;
    The XX
    London Grammar (In Italy the 3rd, so likey @EP fri)
    Run The Jewels (likely as they are in the States on Sunday)
    Vince Staples (Same as RTJ)
    Bicep (said on one of their posters on facebook)


    Saturday
    A tribe called quest
    Pete Tong?
    Interpol
    Phoenix
    Madness
    Floating Points
    Everything Everything

    Sunday
    Duran Duran
    Elbow
    Chaka Khan (according to FB anyway)
    Rag N Bone Man
    Father John Misty
    Band of Horses
    Soulwax
    Kiasmos
    Mano le Tough (likely, playing UK on Sat)
    Hannah Wants (likely, playing UK on Sat)

    So I am going to guess something along these lines based on what we have so far:

    Main Stage
    Friday: The XX, London Grammar
    Saturday: Pete Tong, ATCQ, Phoenix, Madness
    Sunday: Duran Duran, Elbow, Chaka Khan, Rag N Bone Man

    Electric Arena
    Friday: Run the Jewels, Vince Staples
    Saturday: Interpol
    Sunday: Father John Misty, Band of Horses

    Rankins Wood/LBT
    Fri: Bicep (usually both these tents are closed on Friday, but after opening for Jenny Greene last year on the Friday maybe they will open it Fri night?)
    Saturday: Floating Points
    Sunday: Mano le Tough, Hannah Wants, Soulwax, Kiasmos

    Will Pete Tong definitely be on the main stage or is there any possibility of it being in the Electric Arena?

    Yeah that all seems pretty realistic but I still think one or two of Interpol, Father John Misty and Run the Jewels could end up on the main stage with someone like Annie Mac headlining EA. Kiasmos in the Rankin Wood tent will be incredible

    Soulwax and Mano Le Tough would be much better on the Friday or Saturday

    I'm late to the party here but am I right in thinking that Sunday tickets are sold out? Haven't been to EP since the 2nd one in 2005 I think it was. I guess it's changed a lot since then.
