Electric Picnic 2018 **Discussion Only // No Ticket Sales** [Part 1]

Ricosruffneck

Bit of a random one.

Tom Jones on the lineup?

Doing quite an amount of UK dates around that time.

Could see it being pretty good sunday addition.

For him to turn up at festivals? it's not unusual

Why? Why? Why?

Bets on Hozier, Snow Patrol, Gavin James all “branded” on the announcement poster...? Honestly it could be a cnuts Picnic.

Hozier seems to be being retroactively lumped in with the ****e like Kodaline, Coronas, Gavin James etc. He's a way beyond them, I wouldn't be a fan but I've seen him at 2 festivals and he did well both times.

I think it’s so funny the music snobbery that goes on, not that I like it or are into his music but Hozier drew the biggest crowd of the weekend there a few years back ....

So all of us who've bought our tickets are see you next tuesdays?

Any idea if My Bloody Valentine will be playing?

They've a festival in Japan on 17th August and 23 June in London.

Would much rather see them indoors tbh.

And all the Sunday tickets are gone already without a line-up being released?

I’d say the more commercial acts will be, Two Door Cinema Club, Bastille, Gavin James, Sigrid.

Oldies will be Madness, James, David Byrne.

Madness were there last year so I’d imagine they’d be doubtful to return so quickly. David Byrne and James would be great additions

I'm totally on board with that. I've bought my tickets and i'm a complete see you next tuesday. Mind you, those things are totally unrelated.

Ah here. Vast distinction between loyal yearafteryear punters and the prospective (sketchy) line up.

Email confirmation says I bought my tickets on the 8th Sept at 902am. Jusfer the record kidz.

Hozier was great a few years back. Drew a massive crowd and he had only just broke onto the music scene. I'd be happy with him. Think we might get Walking On Cars on main stage, maybe Little Green Cars. Can't see Gavin James again this year. He did main stage last year.
Hard to call this year. Would love to see Public Service Broadcasting back this year in one of the large tents.
Either way I can't wait till next Thurs so I can delve into the line up and whatever new music it presents to me...

My problem is I have tickets for both the Picnic and ATN but can only go to one (pesky kids). Underworld and the new festival vibe has me leaning towards ATN. The Picnic is going to have to have pull something out of the bag. Hopefully they get Despacio back.

I really cant see PSB being back. I would imagine they could be odds on for the new Waterford festival. I truly hope im wrong but i really doubt they'd be back so quick after a headline slot at Body and SOul main stage.

Goldfrapp, please let there be Goldfrapp

FWIW, think we could still get a-Ha

showpony1

is there any reason for people saying Hozier is headlining now other than it must be the likes of coronas, gavin james etc on bill somewhere?
would love to see him on main stage one of the days over any of them.

scruff monkey

He's apparently been fruity on social media the last week is all. He could well be on the main stage again and if he was then he'd be above what he was last time (i.e. moved into the 8Pm type slot there).

Don't think he has the body of work for full headliner yet though.

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup

i'd love chromeo but they seem to have given up playing Ireland

Hozier would sell more tickets in Ireland doing a standalone gig than A Tribe Called Quest, Pete Tong etc. the "headliners" so could easily be anywhere on the bill.

I used to prefer Muse to AM but they haven't realised a decent song since 2006. Last few albums have been dire. Only saw AM in 06 at Oxegen when they were starting out, they paled in comparison the the acts that followed them, Strokes, the Who and James Brown (not that those are easy acts to compete with). Would like to see how they are now.

Great shout , the strokes be a good addition , must be a very long time since they played Ireland ?

no hope of that, unfortunately, they are basically broken up, Julian seems to be focusing on The Voidz (who would be a great addition as well

He might well do, but the ****er just has a single album, full headliners tend to have a larger corpus of content to pull from. He's not there yet.

Have you considered selling one? I know it's difficult to choose between the two you love so much and all, but children fetch a reasonable price on the black market

Really hoping for Arctic Monkeys on this one !!

Surely only a matter of time before an Irish date is announced ?!
