Just got a message from 3Plus saying the last few tickets are now on sale. Not sure if that's of any significance. Looking likely it'll be next week.

Na if announcing that stage today Id assume it will be next week, hope I'm wrong tho

None by the looks of it. I think it’s official. 2nd and 3rd announcement will come together

I'd say you are right. There were 41 acts in the first announcement this year compared to 34 last year, so maybe we will get one more announcement of around 40 acts rather than 2 smaller ones. Just hope we aren't waiting until August!!

I would happily go to EP just for them!

I feel like waiting on this announcement is taking over my life. I'm not a big phone addict but I'm refreshing this thread constantly and refreshing the EP website. Do you think they're reading this thread and laughing their heads off?

Same as that, usually not on the phone too much but this has me pickled! Jus really wanna know who il be getting too see in a few weeks., considering its been sold out since March it's not too much too ask! I always defend the picnic when it comes to lineup and everything else but this is shocking bad form! Won't be tomorrow either now I'd say what with their announcement today, they will get a few days out of that first...

I predict Jamiroquai as a sub-headliner / retro act.

I'd **** myself if that comes through. That would be some coup...

Likewise, that would be a fantasy booking for me. It appears he is in the States on the Sunday though so probably unlikely

La femme and St vincent worth checking out,
but I agree, missing someone like the Shins, who were in the second announcement . .

i like st vincent, but i wouldnt classify them as heavy guitar based.... and le femme similarily... synth orientated

some like band of horses from last year would be perfect (they were such a highlight for me)
