They must have spent all the money on Kraftwerk.

No chance! I won"t be able to afford to heat the water for the summer because of all these plans

Do you own a campervan? That is a lot of tent time! Fair play

As my mammy used to say. "he clearly has more money than sense". A wise woman indeed.

I decided on getting an Indiependance ticket today as ATN didn't do it for me, just started a thread about it. Anyone been before?

The Weekend is a European exclusive at Lollapalooza apparently, and I don't think things have gone that bad that they would book David Guetta!

Clear from reading the last few pages that there are a lot of people unhappy with the way picnic has gone over the past few years but it still has a lot to offer! This years lineup will be particularly interesting now that All Together Now is on the scene and possibly taking away some picnic regulars. The EP lineup has never failed IMO so we will see next month what it has up it's sleeve for 2018.

Yeh we got it last year so have done one full festival season in it Fairly life changing to be honest. After 15 years or so of camping at festivals it really is a whole new experience in a camper van. I'm ashamed to say i don't think I could go back to sleeping in tents at a festival again

Knockanstockan and Picnic for me. Knockanstockan is what it is. And always delivers on that.

So all my "big band" eggs are in one Picnic basket so to speak.

You must have a hefty hole in yer pocket after splashing out on all of that, fair play to ya.

Sigrid is on Other Voices tomorrow night. I’d say she’s a guaranteed headliner for EP

Festivals are so addictive. We are going to Vantastival, ATN, EP and Beatherder in the UK. Aswell as The Killers/ Franz Ferdinand , LCD, Roger Waters and Gorillaz. That is most definitely my limit now apart from Fuinneamh if it gets announced again.

Seriously take a break for a few years, the money save you can by a 51% share in the promotions companies... free festivals for life

Ive only started a new job there 4 weeks ago and im starting to think i wont get off the friday and monday

I'd say she will turn up as well but wouldn't think she is big enough to headline.. Maybe play late in the Electric Arena one night!

Festival wise for me this summer it's looking like: All Points East (London), Forbidden Fruit, Body & Soul, All Together Now and Electric Picnic. Bit of a gap in July if anyone had any suggestions

Headliner? Seriously?

Flight Facilities are announcing a tour soon so could see them either popping up at EP or ATN(since they did Metropolis few years ago)

They were really good at body and soul three years ago. Would love to see them added

Apologies, I should’ve been a little clearer. I meant higher up the bill, not top billing.

Apparently she’s playing the Academy in March and All Tvvins are playing the Olympia the same night with Little Hours in the Button Factory on the same night.

Is this the reason why EP announce the lineup so late? Allow a lot of bands to cash in on smaller gigs and then announce them for later on in the year?

Townlands Carnival in Cork.

Primal scream playing indiependence. I'm actually worried about the ep line up with a few acts popping up at other festivals. With ATN starting off, one would expect ep to pull a few rabbits out of the hat.

Arctic monkeys, Kendrick, Depeche Mode.
