    Guys, bought the early bird tickets and found a close family member is getting married, so i cant go.
    Question, when do the tickets for this get sent out in the post? Could really do with trying to sell them and putting the money back on the cc, but not sure when the hard copies are out? If its not for another good few months i'll just suck it up.

    Only option is to break up the marriage.

    Why should you miss out on happiness?

    Imagine he were to come to Ireland again! Saw him at Malahide Castle. One of my favourite gigs.
    Assume too big for EP?

    I'm not sure he is. His gigs don't generally sell out and on the occasions they do, they have been last minute sell outs. Malahide Castle wasnt full. RDS wasnt full

    Wouldnt be a massive Neil Young fan (just dont know many of his songs bar the likes of the big singles) but that would be a great headliner for EP even though most people might give out.

    Was really expecting at least The National, Nick Cave or Gorrilaz to top the bill with a Liam G slot but with them already doing their own shows im really stumped on who EP will get.

    Would love QOTSA/Royal Blood/Weezer although wont get my hopes up.

    I know they prob would be way to expensive but imagine getting Bon Jovi to do the Duran Duran slot??? They dont have the pulling power like they used

    I think it was this year before I got my hard copy tickets for this years gig because I paid installments.

    What kind of close family member would do that to you though?!

    The Picnic will need to get an embargo in place to prevent other classic names been announced for city venues.

    Ah here. They'd all be amazing for EP. Well look, there's no hard and fast rules. I'm ruling nobody out just yet, gigs or no gigs.

    MCD are doing the Arcade Fire and Kendrick Lamar gigs in the 3Arena so expecting to see them headline EP if they're around Europe next summer.
    QOTSA probably headlining R&L for Festival Republic the week before too.

    A new album now, a lot of comparisons say its more like The Knife, I reckon more a mix of the two.

    BD, I'm beginning to suspect that you ARE Fever Ray.

    I presume Foals will be back on the road with a new album so maybe getting the bump up to headline next year?

    Seen London Grammar in Belfast last night..... and ****ing wow!!!!!! Completely blown away far better than their EP gig. Water front hall is small in capacity 2300 odd, but acoustically and visually it's a dream venue. I can't see them ever playing a venue of that size in future, really special last night ;)

    Yeah they are definitely best seen in an enclosed venue. I don't reckon we'll see them at picnic again for a while. Maybe potential future headliners??? Not sure really.
