This may have been asked but are Sunday Tickets done away with or sold out ?

There's nothin on the website but I don't think the Sunday tickets go onsale until the acts are announced, so a couple of weeks yet for that.

Justice on Fri, Stone Roses on Sat and Depeche Mode on Sun would be great

A word of warning, the sunday tickets sell out faster a very fast thing going fast in the fast lane with the Eagles on the radio singing life in the fast lane.

Leftfield apparently back on the road for 20th anniversay of Leftism, only a few dates so far but if still trotting about come late summer, they'd have to be on the short list for a dancey act.

Paul Daley from Leftfield was DJing at Witnness in about 2001/2002. I was up front giving it socks, all my very best moves, heavily under the influence. When he finished I stumbled over stage left and hung off the railing for a few minutes, trying to get my energy back. I got a tip on the shoulder and looked up to see a very welcome Paul Daley, smiling and handing me an equally welcome bottle of water. What a gentleman.

These posts have gone a bit wonky. Wrong people down for the posts, my comments above mixed up with Ferris & Arne.  And unable to correct. Gremlins ahoy. 

Anyway, Depeche Mode would be a real coup for EP, but I suspect too expensive.


The undercard is where I'm now expecting the best stuff. Mary Chain, Interpol, Arab Strap, Jagwar Ma, Father John Misty, Girl Band, Lemon Twigs, Nadine Shah & possibly possibly Lucinda Williams. We could have a very good year, just with mediocre to bad headliners.

Seathrun66

They're not for everyone, but what about Midnight Oil as an option? No European dates in August or early Sept, but that may change.


Also The Pretenders?

Still have a few Midnight Oil 7"s in me ma's attic, they're in NZ the week after EP so I'd reckon they'd be unlikely esp given the gap between the last Euro date and the Kiwi date.

3 weeks of speculation left before the great whingathon 2017

Id like to be the first to say it... "worst first announcement ever!"

kg703

Been warming up for whingaton 2017 for a good few weeks now, missing tickets, seatwave, prices of everything, kids these days etc. Feeling like this could be a good year for it.

If I had the time I'd trawl through all the old threads and come with up a Top 10 recurring annoying whinges/dumb questions that come up on these threads each year...

"Worst announcement ever" would have to be in there alright...

The conversation will then move onto how the announced acts aren't the actual headliners and they will announce some unrealistic huge act in June.

Top 10 Whinges anyway:

1. The lineup is sh*t.
2. They've totally forgotten what EP is supposed to be about, maaan.
3. Why do people bring their kids to this?
4. The beer is p*ss.
5. The beer is too expensive.
6. I can't bring my beer into the arena.
7. Why can't I drive into the Green Car Park from the Dublin road?
8. Why do all these people just sit in the campsite drinking?
9. The guy in the tent next to me brought a guitar.
10. When is the next announcement/there must be another announcement/last year there was an announcement by now.

And not forgetting the ultimate pain in the hole / waste of rendered html question that pops up every year with out ****ing fail.

"What's the best way to smuggle alcohol into the arena"

there will be some sort of modern chart act announced that will be smugly insulted by the majority here.

And rightly too! Modern Chart act #32 have a couple of good tunes but they don't really fit into the general mode of EP, if the kids want to see that sort of ****e then they should have gone to marley park (or other skanger fest of note).

Most of their stuff is just derivative generic radio guff, things were better in my days I'll tell ye, except the hotpants, the girls didn't wear those in the 80s cos goth... that bit is better now...*


*rubs trouser leg in leering and rather disturbing fashion...

Arne_Saknussem

Butthurt fans of Modern Chart act #32 will then label those insulting Modern Chart act #32 as snobs, smug, hipsters, grandad etc. Before themselves going on to label Modern Chart act #19 as crap.

Some potentially good news people. Efestivals have Mumford & Sons down as a strong rumour for Longitude, the 1975 also. There's a hole in the former's calendar for the EP weekend but I'm willing to renounce my atheism if that's not filled.

It's latitude they are rumoured for but would make sense for Mumfords to play longitude also and hopefully keeping them away from ep. 1975 r already playing malahide so that rules them out

Ferris_Bueller

They have the two of them listed as 'strong rumours' for Longitude too, but I wonder is that just based off them being rumoured for Latitude. We will have a clearer idea who might appear at EP after the Longitude announcement is out on Wednesday. It's A Tribe Called Quests last year touring and they are in the states the weekend of Longitude, if they are going to play in Ireland you'd think it has to be EP now.

Very clearly for Longitude:
