    Some additions for Lowlands festival, someone mentioned on the Chic Malahide thread that Nile Rodgers apparently said at the end of the gig that he would be back for Electric Picnic. I hope not myself, as much as I enjoyed them in 2014 I think it would be a lazy booking for EP.

    Lowlands: Announced last Thursday:
    Nile Rodgers & CHIC, The Tallis Scholars, Blaudzun, Miles Kane, ZHU, Portico Quartet, Alika & Nueva Alianza, Amenra, Amyl and The Sniffers, Arp Frique & Family, Carista, GAIKA, Jayda G, Moose Blood, Nakhane, Pythius, Sons of Kemet, SOPHIE (dj-set + visuals), Thunderpussy, Yung Feurich.

    They did not say they would be back for EP, they said that the reason why they are so popular now was because of a set they did at EP few years back. Nothing about being back at EP this year

    I'm guessing the 2009 appearance in the Electric Arena he was referencing .. which was really special in fairness!

    Nah I think Ireland is well and truly Chic'd out

    Regarding lack of announcements ... it is baffling at this stage. What other festival (in the world) follows this drip-feed model?!?

    Loyal following rapidly losing patience!

    Come on guys - Nile Rogers - all the old Disco classics - yes it's a lazy booking - but it will be FUN and we can jump around and sing all the words (and so can the "young uns" - cos they would have those songs covered on Glee) (No I've never watched Glee - just that whenever the kidz know the words - and I'm impressed thinking ah they've discovered the old sounds - they ask how I know the words...……….. cos they heard it on Glee :(

    If you look at previous years this year is pretty much the same, not sure why everyone is getting so impatient, it’s the same every year!

    Yeah, but time is a pain in the ass, why can't we just remove time. :)

    Anyone think George Ezra could headline one of the tents?

    Loving his album which I'm surprised at given my teenage kicking background.

    He played the main stage a couple of years ago, I don't think the stink has washed off it yet... I'd sooner go watch my parents riding than see him again.

    He was enjoyable enough on the main stage a few years ago. Great voice. I can't see him moving too far up the bill though.
