    Surely Arctic Monkeys will be on tour in 2018 and would be a great addition.

    Thought they were boring as **** the last time they played , Seemed to be going through the motions

    Gutted with the beat yard line up, would love orbital , john talabot and K. Washington.

    Booked festihut there so softens the blow somewhat!

    Caribou playing Galway Arts Festival in July... I guess that rules them out.

    Killers finishing their tour late in July, would have been very good I think.

    As much as I love their music i've seen them a few times now and they've never really pulled it out of the bag for me, very much a shame.

    Bad news for EP. Good news for us Galwegians. Caribou in a tent by the river next July could be a highlight of the Summer. Gotta get booking tomorrow.

    Damn, Caribou is on my wishlist for EP every year and I always convince myself this will be the year. Lots of big acts playing elsewhere in Ireland next summer, will be interesting to see what Picnic has up it's sleeve!

    He's played at least once, but a fair few years back. Pretty sure that Snaith has DJ'd there also but long long overdue a return.

    We're running out of bands, lads. No sooner is an appetizing act mentioned in here than the bastards announce a stand alone gig somewhere in Ireland. It's starting to feel like a conspiracy.
    On the plus side, I've spent the day listening to The The and thinking happy thoughts about the Iveagh Gardens in the Summer. Pity. They would have been some craic in the Electric Arena.

    I see Fat Freddys Drop touring in Europe this summer. Anyone heard of them before? Superb live kiwi band that played once before & were memorable. Seen them twice so far. Would be good.
    Caribou played a handful of years ago & was great. I think the same year had that weird dude Sohn playing & there seems to be new material coming, so very possible. 
    Isn't Bjork likely? Weird album, tho'! Still, I'm sure a live remix would come with 'added beats'!

    Been strong rumours that The Smashing Pumpkins’ original lineup will be getting back together in 2018.

    I presume they would do the Festival Circuit if they did.

    Peter Hook from Joy Division said his son jack Bates is touring with the Smashing Pumpkins next year as their touring bassist

    No announcements yet, they're gonna have to make announcements soon otherwise we're gonna be burning down other places that are making the earlier announcements. :) Smiley face to show I'm not serious here ha ha.

    Its gonna be a bit mad qhen headliners are announced given that so many Picnic friendly bands have shows already.

    I get the feeling its going to be a great line up or a ****e obe with no real middle ground.

    Personally I'd love any or all of the following:

    Manics, JAMC, SLF, Blondie, Stereophonics, Frank Turner, John Moreland, Avett Brothers, Killers, Stranglers...

    Judging by last year, you have a full three months of a wait left. March 23rd last year.

    There is nothing to discuss at the moment.


    Happy Christmas all, may Santa bring us good music, cold beer, warm women and decent weather this year.

    We've agreed, Pearl Jam and Radiohead are playing. Sorted.

    Now Happy Christmas.
