has everyone received their tix already? I realise it's circa 7 months away but really want them safely tucked away and don't want to spend days daydreaming about my children picking them up and flushing them down the loo, using them as art material, eating them.....

I got mine in the post last week!

tonto123

Have not received mine yet I wouldn't worry yet

Stillill42

No, I'm still waiting on tickets too.

ewj1978

I bought mine from Tm but they normally came in the post in August so I wouldn't worry

The The announced for Festival No. 6, i'd have them as odds on to play EP.

This is a great lineup for the price - rarely seen this many 'names' at EP

Rigor Mortis

The The surely wont be doing a summer outdoor gig and EP. I cant think of anyone doing that in recent years

rubick

Have my eye on the second date, Orbital and Goldie!
Will be a nightmare to get tickets I expect.

Hmm, news of their Iveagh Gardens gig totally passed me by. Not so nailed on for EP then i guess!

It's getting to the point now where there are announcemennts every week about european festivals and the impatience kicks in. Even though I know full well it'll be March (It even says tickets back on sale March) and it'll prob Friday the 30th.

Still.

At least last year Interpol leaked it, need some leakage

Graham1978

I’m thinking Florence could make an appearance 🀔

Its a sign of getting older when you look at the Longitude line up and I haven't a clue who most of them are bar the few which has played the picnic in the past.

Was just about to post the exact same thing - seems they are really going for the Spin103.8 crowd. Although I wouldnt have much rap knowledge but am delighted that none of them are at EP!

I literally havent a clue!

kg703

Wait I take that back! Isnt one of those the 'mans not hot' video

:D:D:D

Clearly a solid line up bahaha

I love Limp Bizkit and I dont even care

Delighted with that Longtitude line up, I can honestly say I wouldn’t recognise any of them.

declanleo

Bahahaha what a lot of shi-te.

Stillill42

Wow. Longitude really seem to have made a decision to put all their eggs in one basket. It certainly won't be taking anything I want to see away from EP. Great news for most of us. I'm teaching and I reckon there will be more of my 6th years in Marley Park than I generally see in German period 2 Monday morning.

Few decent names of the Longitude lineup, Anderson Paak, Sampha, The Internet and Tyler, The Creator, the list ends there though haha

Really would have loved Anderson Paak at EP, him playing with the Free Nationals is fantastic.

Sampha, Anderson and Tyler all have NPR tiny desk concerts that are incredible! well worth checking out if you've got a spare few minutes

Was hoping Solange might make an appearance at EP but she's the only one off that list I would have wanted so all in all not too bad.

The Internet?

You've just reminded me that the Internet have a tiny desk, that's going straight on!

I've just noticed Belly on that list. I'm presuming that's just another rap act I've never heard of rather than Tanya Donnelly and friends?

Yeah, wondered the same! Bit out of place, otherwise.
