Yeah, that wasn't much fun. Kids is a four letter word.

I saw a couple of Johnny Marr's festival setlist. Only seems to be doing 4 of his own numbers along with 4 Smith's, a couple of Electronic numbers and I feel you by Depeche Mode. I'll enjoy that.

Richard ashcroft does a good few verve numbers as well so two good sets. Not so clear what to expect from jarvis. The bunnymen sets have been good too.

Going by his All Points East setlist it's one Pulp song (His n Hers), three of his own, one cover and the rest from the album with his new collaborators. Tracks on BBC6 I've heard are good but it's not unmissable stuff for me.

Ashcroft's setlists look great.

Bunnymen sets always good though hopefully they'll drop Walk on the Wild Side and Roadhouse Blues which they always seem to throw in during tracks. Does nothing for me.

Am still optimistic about Tame Impala and it'd be surprising if the Chemicals weren't the dance act if there is one.

How long do we have to wait for the big one then? When did they announce the prodigy last year? Hoping for another headliner, not sure how Hozier would get the crowd going closing out the main stage whichever night he's set to play...

Announced alongside Picture This on the Friday of ATN last year. I think we'll get something this week, or possibly when ATN announce early birds for 2020.

If top tier stays as is I presume its;

Fri: 1975's with Hozier subbing..
Sat: The Strokes
Sun: FATM

Hi All, My money is on the Swedish House Mafia as the unrevealed dance act. Playing the UK on the 24th and not playing Lollapalloza Berlin until the seventh of September! As we know Razorlight self announced and I reckon we'll get Kodaline too!

Anyone have any idea what the story with crew tickets is? I.E. what are the perks? Do crew have their own campsite?

Yes there is crew camping! There are also different levels of access some crew stay in performers and some get production access which allows camping to the rear of main stage - bonus close to everything! Couple of showers but manky as they are on site for set up so get a lot of use and are generally not serviced!

Was crew at latitude couple of weeks ago! Super facilities cleaned every morning at 7am and loos hosed out - didn’t encounter a single bad portaloo the entire weekend! In another positive it was predominantly a leave no trace festival - no litter.... no single use plastics and no issues bringing in your booze once decanted- security had cups at all checkpoints to offer for pouring your cans into!! Totally different culture!

Billie Eilish confirmed for Friday via her own Spotify page

C'mon man give me a break, its an actual music festival.

Boardmasters festival cancelled this weekend due to high wind forecast.


Do the acts still get paid?

Surely Razorlight as the headliner TBA?
Saw on here that they had EP in their tour dates published a few weeks ago

scruff monkey

Razorlight would be a midrange act no?

Definitely, they’re doing some weird festival in Luxembourg and they’re down the bill there, under some acts I can’t even pronounce.

I see EATB are doing a lot of the same dates as Doves... both doing a festival called Victorious the week before EP, which has a decent lineup.

Thundercats Ho

Reading the posts above, I just checked out the Johhny / Richard / Echo setlists. Wow, I cannot wait!!!

Rfrip

I would be so so delighted if Doves were announced

Saw on Daithi's Instagam last night that hes not playing EP, strange i thought.

I never said it's who I wanted to play! Its who I think will play!! :-)

You're right actually. Would have put them on the same level as the Strokes but apparently not judging by their place in other festival's lineups!

I reckon we're definitely missing a big dance act as a headliner. Orbital or Chemical Brothers?

Not in a million years will they be announced.

Based on what? Doesn't seem very EP to me. You made an account to say this ?

Yea their popularity has def dropped over the last 10 years, dont think they even sold out the Olympia a few months ago

in fairness, its a very different crowd that were at that infamous gig to the usual crowd at ep, so fairly irrelevant.as much as i still dont see it happening, if they are playing other festivals this summer then i wouldnt be completely surprised to see them play ep

Doesn’t matter about the crowd, no one wants to be associated with stabbings, it’s a really bad look.

What's the story with the today fm competition? Is it still every show they're giving tickets away or is it just once per day now?

Rfrip

Hot chip dj set for pgymalian in october so no return for them this month. Glad tbh, have to say ive seen them enough at this stage although i would have liked a joe goddard DJ set.

Any tips for keeping cans cold in a prepuce tent?

Thundercats Ho

So what announcements are still to come.
I'm talking about acts, not the esb / nivea / tesco / today fm / just eat / theatre of food etc etc.

There should be one more main arena announcement
Jerry fish hasn't announced his stuff yet
There's been nothing for Freetown yet
Mindfield and an puball geal
Comedy

It's just 3 weeks tomorrow, so there'll probably be an announcement of some kind every other day, including site maps, stage times etc.

Excitement starting to build.

Same as anywhere else really, bag of ice and a cold bag. Ensure to wipe the cheesey bits away daily or else they congeal making the cans difficult to open.

Most on here would prefer Underworld who are on the bill of some Irish festival every year. Would be good to get SHM, Martin Garrix & Khalid from that Berlin line up.
