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

showpony1

My predictions from what I've heard off people so far, take with a pinch of salt as these are never 100% certs
when I hear the day before:

Arctic Monkeys, London Grammar, MIA, Hozier, Grace Jones, David Guetta, Plan B, St. Vincent.

I reckon your source may be misinformed. Grace jones is in a stand alone gig in Trinity, London Grammar was last year,

But all the rest are plausible though i'd doubt Guetta.

Last date is 14th Aug so not too far away but I’d be a little surprised if they were announced. I think they fact they headlined a few years ago would count against them, ep don’t seem to bring back too many repeat headliners apart from the bigger dance acts.

Also on simple minds website they are down to play elsewhere the 3nights of ep so that rules them out, similar with Noel g he’s playing 2of the nights elsewhere.
Really hard to predict this year but gonna take a little guess at some of these showing up

Kendrick Lamar
St Vincent
Kasabian
Chvrches
Wolf Alice
Alt-J
Paul weller
Snow patrol/hozier maybe but I’m doubtful
Chemical bros / prodigy
Vampire weekend
Lorde
Stereophonics
Ezra furman
Gruff rhys
Friendly fires
Bonobo
Lykke li
Carl cox
The kooks
Annie Mac
Shame
Basement jazz dj set
Young fathers
James
Happy Monday’s
Feeder
Razorlight
Garbage.

Not particularly acts I want to see but just who’s playing nearby around those dates.

Razorlight is still a thing?

Yes. Unfortunately

Today FM

I'm just about to head out for lunch so will probably miss the exciting news of the line up being out tomorrow. Or maybe shes giving away tickets.

Fill me in anyway :pac:

I'm not sure the Arctic Monkeys are as likely as some of the rumors are making out, I wouldn't mind them but surely they'd be headlining Reading Leeds if they were about at that time.

Have you looked at their tour dates? I think they're very likely. Ireland is one of the few places left in europe where they haven't announced a gig.

They've no English dates yet either and apparently turned down Reading and Leeds to do their own shows I just think it might be the same with EP and they'll play their own show a bit later in the year.

David Guetta 😂😂😂😂

I really hope I don't eat those words

Dua lipa!

It’s been 5 years since they played and they’re playing festivals and their own shows all over Europe. You could be right though, all this guessing is starting to stress me out!

PinkCamper

Whoever said Franz Ferdinand, I think they’re out because they’re supporting Killers at RDS.

However, Franz Ferdinand AND Chvrches are supporting Killers in Glasgow in July, and Chvrches were not included in RDS lineup. Which makes me think they’re certs for EP

What was the exciting news?

BadTurtle

As far as I could make out it was that Muireann talks a load of absolute ****e and favours a "final solution" for people who break up via text.

saffron22

Aha right well at least her responses to such things are measured

Entertainment.ie has a teaser "could these bands be in the lineup" article:

http://entertainment.ie/music/news/5-acts-you-could-see-on-tomorrows-Electric-Picnic-2018-line-up-announcement/403163.htm

I'd say it's more likely that they took the info from forums like this rather than having any inside knowledge. They say:

Arctic Monkeys
St Vincent
Lorde
Vampire Weekend
Depeche Mode

showpony1

last year I think The XX was the only band on the poster that was expected, will be interesting to see if same happens again!

I’d be very happy with that

Wooderson

The Mode in Stradbally is huge.

MiniFridgeMen

It 100% looks like they pulled that from this forum, had they of said Kendrick or they who shall not be named i'd of been certain of it haha

St. Vincent, Depeche Mode and Jimmy Somerville and i'd be chuffed, rumor has it Jimmy has self-confirmed

AM are an alright booking, like I can see why you would book, they've just been disappointing every time I've seen them....maybe it's me

PinkCamper

If it’s really DM then fair play EP, you have officially blown my mind

everlast75

any definitive news?

Mhersee1

So, did Today FM actually announce anything or was it all rubbish?

scruff monkey

Are that pairing not mutually inclusive?

I think they play a lot of their current material live so don't get much of the album tracks from the first album which is mainly what i'd like to hear! I saw them in 2010 and it was great

everlast75

I contacted the show. They came back to me. Basically they said there was a giveaway tomorrow on their show connected to the EP. i.e. nothing to do with a line up.
