I see Woodstock 2019 has been cancelled with its financial backer pulling out.

One way of getting to EP.

Hopefully they don't pull the same stunt again by waiting until August. That was a real b*tch of a wait and the fact that they announced it the Friday of ATN took away from the excitement

They are going to do the exact same thing again, why would you let the chance to **** on the competition pass (and be clear that the competition would do the exact same thing if the opportunity presented).

I'd imagine we'll get plenty before then though, there's all the other sh1te that goes on.

Read this, that's where I got the list above from, sting and stardust i'd be shakey on but they mention the rest. https://www.electricpicnic.ie/news/take-me-electric-picnic-2019

Yeah, think you're reading way too much into what they've got there.

it's not Moloko btw, it's Róisín Murphy who was the singer in Moloko who is already announced.

and **** knows where you're getting green day from...

A festival in Italy the weekend before the Picnic, Spiritualized, Nils Frahm, Low, Johnny Marr, Deerhunter and Bob Mould could be good shouts for the Picnic.

Bob Mould would be super too!

Eh! Jon Hopkins is not playing this year, so maybe they might reconsider. :pac:

Can't wait to see Courtney Barnet, I'm putting her on a pedestal she'll probably disappoint me

She wont disappoint , i seen her in Dublin last year(after not knowing much about her) and she puts on a great gig imo. I think she will be suited for mid to late slot in the EA. I feel she might get wasted on the main stage

Echo & The Bunnymen stuck a different EP line-up poster on their Twitter feed on the day it was announced, a 'draft copy' that had Johnny Marr on it - I'd expect him to be included in a later announcement.

Think it was Low playing in Cosby beside John Hopkins in Rankins. Low's slowcore versus John Hopkins loud dance. It was never going top work with the noise bleed. Mimi was incredibly pissed off and tbh she had every right to be. I still enjoyed Low tho.

Electric Picnic talk Saturday.

Similar problem last year with Colter Wall in Cosby Tent and The Blaze in Rankin....could barely make out Wall's first few songs due to noise

Hopefully with the expanding of this new dance area maybe we'll see less of the corporate branded dance stages in the main arena, but I won't hold my breath.

cjdennis29

Have a feeling they'll announce the headliners for the dance/electronic stage separately, no headliners of either genre yet (which is rare) and it would make sense

Fatfrog

M83 would be lovely, I can't recall them playing Ireland in 5 years at least!!
